Lush Vlad Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 A lot of Pardew's interviews lately don't fill me with confidence I have to say. Saying things like "trying to get the owner to spend" and talking to Llambias about how much will be reinvested. We needed to spend a fair bit before Carroll left, so we should be spending at least £20m-£25m on 3 or 4new players, can't see that happening though.

I don't know much about his past signings TBH, but at a glance at his wiki page he signed Reo Coker, Zamora and Etherington for West Ham. As well as Benayoun and Dean Ashton, who would have been class apart from injuries. Even Harewood was alright for them IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That articles from March. I can seriously see us only bringing in 2 players plus selling Enrique. We'll be f***ed next season, with Nolan a year older etc, we need at least 4 new players, 5 if we sell Enrique, crisis time if we end up selling Barton.

Guest Flatline Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 honestly 4-5 "big" players... could be a busload of free transfers like elmander etc... Its pretty clear for all to see that Pardew has got fuck all to say about spending this summer... might as well interview Nolan about it as they seem to be on equal footing as far as having a say is concerned..

Dave Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 If the two players were say N'Zogbia and A.N.Shithotstriker AND we kept all the good players already at the club then you could feasibly argue that two was enough. Won't happen like that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 After the Carroll scenario he's probably not going to make a guarantee that he's not 100% sure he can keep. I think he'll bring in N'Zogbia, Ireland and a striker then look to replace Campbell and Enrique if they leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ads Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 For fuck sake some of you. Even if Ashley has promised money (privately) for transfers, Pards is hardly gonna blurt out in an interview/presser: "Yes, I had a chat with Mike and we've got £25m+ to spend this summer". That would only serve to add £2, 3, 4 million onto a players valuation when we became interested. It's not the way to do business. Remember the 'No Capital Outlay' speech last summer? We all thought we were doomed but we actually managed to have a very good window. I can understand having reservations about Ashley/Llambias based on their previous but please don't make assumptions on our summer transfer activity based on a few vague quotes from Pards. Unless there is some kind of official club statement relating to a lack of transfer funds then I'm holding out for a decent window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
