Because Pardew wants to play a 2 striker system don't necessarily mean we have to play flat 4-4-2 and force Ben Arfa to be a conventional winger.

 

There's a few variations of the system like 4-3-1-2 or 4-2-2-2 which both would more suitable for the players we currently have.

 

Huge question marks on Pardew mind.

 

This is the same manager who'd rather stick Ben Arfa on a different wing because he's shit scared of an opposition fullback. "Hatem, we can't play you down the right today, they've got Baines out there and I'm worried you can't handle him defensively". The only question mark on Pardew's mind is how to stop the opposition - there's not a cat's chance in hell of him sitting down and thinking about what system gets the best out of the players we have, as he'll just use whichever system and lineup he thinks will best contain the opposition on a game to game basis.

4-3-1-2 could work if we played something like this:

 

Debuchey Mbiwa Colo Santon

 

    Sissoko Cabaye Marveux

 

                Ben Arfa

 

            Gomis  Cisse

 

There is enough pace there for the player to run the channels and still add width.

 

:sweetjesus:

 

Pardew starting Marveaux?  :yao:

Reckon we'll do this one. Lyon aren't really in a position of power here.

 

They would be nuts to reject it tbh; last year of contract, player seems to have gone AWOL and chairman seemingly wants rid anyway.

 

I highly doubt they will get a better offer, i'm actually surprised we have gone this high.

I take it nobody rates Tiote anymore ?

 

Based on his performances for a substantial time now, why would anyone?

 

He needs a manager who understands his limitations.

 

I think it's more a matter of understanding them himself. He tries too much to be the hero whenever I've seen him.

... and is therefore prepared to get him as far away from the first team as possible.

Yeah, I'm rather surprised we've gone in at 6.9 after the intial 4-5. Hopefully this will bring Aulas to his senses that he is unlikely to get better.

He's a bad footballer. Pardew's the best thing for him.

He's our goon. Good at what he does, but why are you giving him the fucking puck?

Someone should rewrite Hit Somebody by Warren Zevon to fit football and Tiote tbh. :lol:

I keep reading that he would prefer Marseille and it makes me sad  :'(

 

It only seems to be Get French Football News who keep beating this drum. Like they did with Cabaye to Monaco/PSG being absolutely nailed on and there was contact between the clubs despite it being denied.
