alexf Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 :'( :'( :'( :'( Pardew's biggest failing as a manager is rating this guy so highly. Seriously what does he see in him? The guy can barely move. Fair enough if he was some monster in the air and brought others into play but he does neither. If Ameobi is still here and we don't sign any new strikers we are 100% getting relegated.

Ronaldo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 To be fair to Pardew he's got one other striker in the squad. I think I'd rather have nobody than Shola but I can understand the manager having a different view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 He'll sign a contract extension if we go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 If he didn't rate Shola as some sort of 2nd coming (feel free to link an interview where he gushes about how much he loves shola) then he would have peddled him along time ago when we had Ba, Cisse, Best all at the club ahead of him. Shola is clever as fuck. He's known all along even when he is out the team that eventually people will leave and he shoots right back up the ranking. If Cisse goes he is effectively first choice striker. I'll let people think about that for awhile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisjraby Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Genuinely thought he was older than 31; christ knows how bloody immobile he'll be in the next few years given what he's like now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Alan Pardew, talking about Shola Ameobi. Going into the 2013/2014 season. “Certainly, with my striker situation at the moment, I need as many as I can get.” Fucking hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Tbf JFK isn't helping with his gross ineptitude nor Ashley with his penny-pinching. The thought of Shola playing 20+ games... Edit: Also reads like a slight to JFK over the lack of transfer activity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'm basing this on watching zero championship football last year but I hazard a guess you could grab the best striker from any of the championship clubs and they would probably do a better job than Shola.

Might involve paying a fee for a player who isn't a FrenchAfrican in a contract wrangle though. Dangerous game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Some major flapping over nothing going on here. Its the article making assumptions from some pretty limited quotes. If we get the strikers in we want Shola will be gone or at worst will linger in the squad as extreme backup. He isn't going to say anything else at the moment given our horrific situation. Pardew won't have a say in him staying or going anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's just not possible for Shola to play that many games anyway, surely? He would break down after 2 games a week for a month. If that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Don't even know how anyone can joke. Real fans would hound him out of the club. It's easy to hound Shola out of your club when someone like Higuain is deemed surplus to requirements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Pards saying we are trying to bring in a striker, if not 2. Obviously only getting 1 in then, Shola is gonna be our impact player on the bench (what impact?) We need to sell him, loan Campbell out and bring 3 strikers in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I wish Shola would treat pre season games like he does League games and stop fucking scoring. He does it every pre season, then we end up keeping hold of the big knacker, then the season starts and the real Shola turns up and offers jack shit.

He does it every pre season, then we end up keeping hold of the big knacker, then the season starts and the real Shola turns up and offers jack shit. He's still capable of scoring in low pressure, low quality games. I'll be fucking furious if he's involved in the matchday squad opening game - be an absolute fucking joke.
