AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 FWIW I think our central midfield has been our biggest problem for years. Being a defender at NUFC over the last decade has been a bit like fighting in the front line at Rorke's Drift. Look how much we improved when Tiote came in, he solved a problem we'd had for many years. If we could get someone as athletic and mobile alongside him it would improve the team massively. Whether it's a priority at the moment or not I've no idea, and I don't know to what extent the injured trinity might help either, but it would definitely be an improvement to the team's overall play.

Agreed. We have sent the defenders to the slaughter many times, but we tend to forget how little support they've gotten from our midfield. The game away against Bolton illustrated this. Bolton met no opposition from Smith and Guthrie, leaving WilliColo open for repeated beating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ive never disagreed with you Roger, aside from the fact that the personal attacks are a bit insulting and annoying, I agree with you. Its just that even with a new LB and a new strikeforce, we will have a rotten trunk seeing as they will NOT get any balls through the middle unless Tiote goes forward ( which I rather not want him to do if it can be helped). They will again be either served by jonas when he gets tired of serving banners, spectators and cornerflags, or they get ( admitted: good) balls from barton. I think this is a clear weakness relating to our CM, the fact that we have no drive through the middle, but are reduced to the flanks in 90% of all our attacks. its rather predictable.. Personal attacks because YOU used my name to mock my opinion to somebody but lets not use facts eh....... Can i just say once more to make sure you will listen: I never said i WANT Nolan in our team, i am saying he WILL be regardless of what we do/say, as it happens i fully agree with our manager(therefore disagree with you) that by far and away the biggest issue is a new striker followed by possible LB, winger, backup to Tiote etc. Strangely when we had a good striker we played well as a team, its since Carroll got injured/sold we have struggled to pick up wins. Perhaps if you read any of what i actually posted you wouldnt have made any mistake about my thoughts on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flatline Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I served one remark after repeated beatings but lets not get hung up on facts huh.. By your reasoning there is no use in posting on a forum at all, since Pardew is in charge anyway. So following that logic we shouldn`t even bother having a discussion. tottenhams strikers are no better than ours tbh, they might be bigger names but they perform for s***. tottenham still pull of wins because their midfield ( and, granted, defense) win their games for them. If we can sort our midfield out we might be a different team altogether next season, but I guess you are right in the sense that Nolan will start no matter what. I used to blame our defenders, as of late Ive started to suspect that our erratic form is due to lack of control of the midfield/support from midfielders...

Dokko Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini says in-demand playmaker Javier Pastore has decided to stay at the club next season. Pastore is coveted by many of Europe's leading clubs, and reports recently claimed that Manchester United were spearheading the chase for the Argentina international. Zamparini also revealed that he was considering a €50million (£43m) offer for Pastore from an unnamed club, which he has subsequently turned down. Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester Cityare other teams to have been linked with bids for Pastore, but Zamparini does not expect to lose the player in the summer. Intelligent "Pastore wants to remain at Palermo," Zamparini said to Gazzetta dello Sport. "He is a very intelligent man, who wants to improve. "He has decided to remain with us for another year." Pastore has also attracted the attentions of Serie A clubs Napoli and Roma, who are both keen to sign the 21-year-old, who joined Palermo in 2009 from Huracan. "I have already turned down a 50million euro offer for Pastore," Zamparini said. "Even if Chelsea were to make an offer this year, he would not move. "Barcelona already made an offer and I said to them that this year he would not leave." Pastore is Palermo's top scorer with 10 league goals in 30 appearances so far this season and is under contract with the Serie A club until June 2014. Must have been us.

Neil Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I thought you had £60m to spend? Definitely saw it somewhere on here. And if we round up, you near enough have £100m. That's near enough 3 Javier Pastores, give or take £29m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats as far of your lies as i got to be honest, its amazing where you find this from actually as its certainly not what i am saying at all. You posting stupid gifs and taking the piss started it as you well know and as for you daft conclusion about not having discussion.............you arent worth further response, it hurts lowering myself to your level quite frankly and no doubt i will get banned for replying to whatever figment of your imagination you see next, somebody else can wade through your guff.

Guest Flatline Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 :lol: Most of your replies are quite patronizing, no room for discussion whatsoever. I give up trying to have a civilized discussion with you, cba reasoning with utter coc.ks. This is a forum of fellow fans, who might disagree on several issues but at least try to see what the other side has to say. Im a peaceful man at heart but with your frankly rude and adolescent forum replies I just cant be bothered to argue anymore. You have your absolute opinions and facts and whoever disagrees is a retard and should go die in a fire appearently. How do you reason with such a man? Answer: you dont, you ignore him. I hope you have a more pleasant demeanor outside of this forum mate, if not I pity you and the few friends you have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
