I don't see it. He's got pretty much a free pass for the citeh game whatever. Unless the performance is diabolically bad nobody will draw any conclusions from it.

De Jong can play off a main striker and from Pardew's quotes it seems he sees him in this role so if we go for a 4 in midfield I would imaging SDJ will be the 1 in a 4-4-1-1. Cabella will be on a wing but I can't say whether it'll be Sissoko or Gouff he displaces. Personally i'd like to see us line up 4-3-3 but I think he'll stick to his 4-2-3-1 and line up the front six like this: Tiote Colback Sissoko SDJ Cabella Cisse / Gouff Possibly Sissoko in for Colback with Cabella and Gouff on each flank but I think he'll want to play Ginger Jack, at least to start with.

I've got to say, I admire the way you've reached acceptance so quickly (re: 5 stages of grief). I think most of us are just so depressed that we cannot bring ourselves to hope anymore. I haven't reached 'acceptance'. I'm just not a boring, repetitive, negative, miserable git.

His dad was a professional footballer according to wiki.

Just realised that pics signed by Mike

Cheers, the optimism lasted about 3 hours then. http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Optimism_ff4dd3_1013339.jpeg

Does when he takes his next signing on fee to chicken cottage for his goodbye party.

Looks like someone chiselled a massive fat gut if I wear one like that.

Fuck off to the 'Pardew makes me cut myself' thread with the Pardew shite. We've signed two players for actual money! Good players! And one of them's called Remy! Hopefully we'll transition to a 4-3-3 with Cabella on the left of a front 3 with HBA on the right and a new striker up top. SDJ sitting in behind them with Sissoko and Anita bossing the midfield. Unstoppable

You can see him sitting sadly on the stairs next to the phone in the Ameobi house day after day until one day his mum walks over to her forlorn slayer and says 'I divn't think they're ganna call, flower, mebbes you can call them arab lads that offered yiz £200k a week instead' The Big Sho wipes a tear from his eye, stands up, falls over, stands up again and says 'Aye, alreet, suppose I have to'

I can see him sitting out the last 12 months of his contract. It's win-win for HBA. If Pardew goes then he gets a fresh start here under a new manager, if not then he leaves on a free next summer and gets shitloads of money. Either way he doesn't damage his standing with the fans or look like a mercenary cunt and either way he wins.

Where's your poncy metrosexual indignation against Ronaldo then? Is it just Lawro you hate, eh? You a Lawroist?

God spared him from being tarred with the stench of abject semi final bum rape.

Going to be weird hoping Barca lose.

The guy managed 14 in 26 for one of the least creative teams in the league last season. He'll do well wherever he goes.

Not a big fan of the puma logo in the centre. Would rather the NUFC crest in the centre or one on each tit. Looks fucking beautiful though.

The worst part is it still wouldn't be the worst kit puma have shat on our shelves.

You've come to the right place brummie.

Pardew really takes bellending to the next level.

I really wouldn't have gone for him at that price or probably even lower. Paying 0.5m, 5.5m or 15.5m for a guy that doesn't score still gets you zero goals. Move on, plenty of other players to monitor.

They should send someone to his house to bite him every day for four months.

Chronicle seems to believe that Lee Ryder is a journalist.

I'm deeply concerned that we haven't monitored him sufficiently.

How can you push the price up on a player with a release clause?
