Hanshithispantz Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 So what if they do leave, Bartons on 80k a week we have Ben Arfa who can come in and play there. Enrique, yes it would be a blow, but he can be replaced. There are plenty of solid but not spectacular LB's that would come here. Eh? And Jose's one of the best left-backs in the league. Plus there's that feeling that he's 'ours'. Which is important imo. The fact of the matter is, we've got the crux of an excellent squad that has masses of potential. We need to add to it, not start again. Everything should be done to keep our best players at the club. Ben Arfa can play on the right where Barton currently plays. I'd rather keep both of them, but if they want to leave I'd rather just sell them and get it over with. "Can play"? Technically I suppose, same way Tim Krul can put a shift in up front if you asked him to. Ner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I fail to understand how 1 win in 9 is an improvement in form without Carroll, that is absolutely bizarre logic. It's also 2 defeats in 10 in the league. Stats mean nowt man, they can be shaped in whatever way anyone wants. Yes but he's a centre forward, he's there to win us games. Could understand using that side of the statistic if he was a centre half. Drawing every game over the course of a season will take you down, we need to win games man and we totally unable to do it at the moment. Totally unable to do it? We won three games ago! Hence I said "Birmingham aside" Only on here could people argue Newcastle United are of equal quality without Andy Carroll. Fucking hell man, listen to yourselves.

We didn't fail to win most of those games because of failure to score. We didn't win because of poor defensive mistakes (Sunderland, Spurs, Everton, Fulham at least).

Thespence Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We have not lost a PL game at home that Sol Campbell has started. Our results improved dramatically once Ben Arfa got obliterated by De Jong. Both of them FACTS mean jack s*** just like our results have improved without Carroll. We were a better team with AC imo, I think we will be a better team with Ben Arfa in & I would not play Sol at home in front of Williamson or Colo. Not sure I've seen anybody say we've been better without Carroll but we've not been overly hit have we? Still sitting top 10 even without him. People post stuff like "We won 1 in 8 before Carroll got injured didn't we?" I take it they are making out we are doing better without AC. Even you had to post "without him" as he would not of played any of these games would we not be there anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hope he breaks his leg, is out for 3 years, we put a bid in for £2mil in the Summer, Liverpool accept, we take him to Lourdes where he is miraculously healed and stays with us for the rest of his career.
