What the f*** are you on about, seriously?

 

FFS calm down. We differ in our view on Pardew. You think Pardew is deeply loved by players I think he isn't. Lets leave it at that, eh ?

Maybe you'll be proved right, maybe not. We'll see in time or not at all - personally I couldn't give a toss.

 

 

:facepalm:

 

We do not differ in our opinion on Pardew; we both seem to think he's not good enough. I have never suggested Pardew is "deeply loved", just that quite a few players have come out unprompted and suggested they like or respect Pardew as a person. The fact is you just made up some shit about the players disliking him, which is completely unsubstantiated.

 

Also, this concept that our results in the past season are because the players dislike the manager is completely misguided, and future results won't prove one way or the other your suggestion.

 

As I said, there's plenty to criticise about Pardew without resorting to outright conjecture.

The very definition of an 'at least we tried' attempt at a transfer.

 

We need another striker, a winger, potentially a Cabaye replacement and a backup CB.

 

We will get none, try and sign a few in January, have more players to replace next summer and will forever be playing catchup

It's more than a bit worrying that we've let a number of players go, (still can't understand the Perch one) but NOT replaced them in an already weak squad. Maybe they're waiting til last minute, but they haven't exactly done a lot of that over past two years anyways with "late signings" and the performance so far has been abysmal. This Gomis deal has made us a laughing stock. First with the Lyon Prez, then the agent, then Marseille, (I'm baffled how could they stop the deal ? Its got nothing to do with them....how can they "block" the deal ??) then the agent at it AGAIN....

What are you on about man? :lol:

 

We've put in various offers until we've finally got a fee agreed.  We've then agreed terms with the player and the only thing stopping it is complications on Lyons side and agents demands.  Unless you've re-written the definition of "at least we tried" than no its nowt like it at all.

When the window shuts we'll have brought noone else in and Pardew will explain we were unlucky and screwed over by OL, when we should have just fucking moved on when it became clear it's not a goer

 

Or we'll get him over the line, and then say we ran out of time to get any other business done.

Ok misunderstanding then.  I thought you meant the attempt to get Gomis was somehow not genuine just to make it look like we were after players but without having to sign any of them.

 

If we wait until the window shuts for Gomis and miss out on targets in other positions then there's no excuse for that (especially if its a winger since we certainly still need one with our without Gomis).  No reason what so ever people can't negotiate for two different players at the same time.  Also maybe they don't believe its not a goer, personally I see every possibility of it still going through.  Two clubs are after him, one can't afford him and the club selling absolutely have to sell him in this window.

@GFN_France: Confirmed: we understand that talks between Lyon and Aliadiere's representatives have taken place regarding a possible transfer. #FCL #OL

 

Maybe a Lopez or Gomis replacement...

As per usual we're not interested in buying players for their real value.

If it really is just agent fees holding things up then you would imagine that would be overcome eventually.

 

You would have thought that as we get closer to September and theres still no transfer that the agents would s*** themselves that there wouldnt be any transfer anywhere and they will get no money at all.

 

Even Ba going to Chelsea took a few extra days because of agent fees, and that was a transfer to a club that throws money around like almost no one else.

What exactly does distance left to run mean? Like, this one may still happen but it may take a while (up until end of window) ?

When it gets to nearer the deadline I bet we threaten to drop the bid, saying we'll just wait 4 months and agree to sign him for nowt if they don't hurry the fuck up.

 

We've got them over a barrel with this one.

Aye, everyone forgets the window doesn't shut for another 3 weeks. The start of the season distorts the thinking.

 

Edit : Slams shut.
