Dave Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Basically if we're not going to buy players then we have to hope that the kids make an impact (and we don't sell them the instant they do). Heartened by Vuckic so far this year, just hope he can stay fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartened by Vuckic so far this year, just hope he can stay fit. Agree. I'd still like us to sign another defender, but I quite like the look of Tavernier and although I'd like to see him on the wing, Ferguson will suffice as a back-up left back. There's also Dummett who's apparently promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 He's a big lad for his age so that should defiantly help him in the premiership. I just hope if he has a bad game here and there that he's not just taken out of the first team completely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 That's the thing I am impressed about with Pardew, he wants the kids playing whether It's on loan or with us. Maybe It's part of his remit but we have neglected this side for ages and tended to just let the kids sit in the reserves forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begbie Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 why didnt he make the squad for the arsenal game? is he injured ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Does anyone else feel that Vukic should at least be on the bench? I've got a feeling we might end up loaning him out but I get the feeling he could provide real goal threat. Nothing against Obertan but Vukic knows how to attack the penalty area and that's something we are missing in our side at the moment. I hope he starts against Scunthorpe and gets a goal because his good work in pre-season seems to have been ignored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 And why was Loven on the bench ahead of him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taps01 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 And why was Loven on the bench ahead of him? This for me is why we need to sell loven. We shouldn't have someone like him stopping our youngsters progressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I imagine Pardew wants some of last season's characters around the squad while we're still sort of in transition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Tbf, as much as I think Loven is shit, his conversion rate last season was pretty good and a manager will be a lot more cautious than the rest of us so I can see why he would take the 'safe bet' rather than the gamble.

SimplyAnth Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I thought he'd at least be making the Bench tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 He had an awfully impressive preseason, as did Abeid. I thought they would both be seen more, especially as Pardew seems like a managed more intent on giving youth a chance. My possibly misguided hope is that we are planning another couple of signings so they will be too far down the pecking order and loaned out for experience.

JH Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Can't see where Abeid/Vuckic would be making the squad in its current stage (except for maybe Lovenkrands) and they'll be even less likely to if we bring in another striker and LB. They're youngsters and they'll feature in the cups and when we have injuries. Don't think they expect anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thought Abeid might give Guthrie a bit of competition. That said I am only going off what others said during preseason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplyAnth Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It's just that he featured regularly during pre-season and performed very well. Probably deserves a chance coming off the bench, regardless of age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, he will use Loven like winger... We had Marveux on the bench for that, and Gosling who has played a bit on the wing as well. I just don´t see the logic of dropping him from the squad to accommodate three strikers on the bench. Hes been here since 2009, and have impressed in pre-season and gets praise from a lot of people in the club, so he must be doing something right in training as well. What more does he have to do?
