Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Pards saying we have sent out a warning to all clubs we won't be accepting any of the late deal stuff IE the Carroll deal. Not a we are not selling just a we won't sell late in the window. Fantastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 On the contrary, people around me were getting very pissed off with the constant stream of long balls aimed at Best against West Brom. It was the same at Bolton, every time Krul got it, you'd think the ref had told him to give it back to Jaaskelainen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 SSN showed that part of the presser, we won't do any late deals for our players more like a "we need money, make your offers now" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a we are not selling just a we won't sell late in the window. Did he really say that or did he simply say "we won't be accepting any offers late in the window"? There's a massive difference.

Interpolic Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Would be nice to have a manager that stands up to the board for the sake of the squad, sadly Pardew will lie down and take it on these issues time and time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 "I don't think we'll be bringing in a striker in this window after the collapse of (Modibo) Maiga which we put a lot of work into, so I think as far as we're concerned, we'll go with what we've got. Asked if there was any chance of resurrecting any form of deal for the Sochaux forward: "No, that wasn't a strategy to do that, it was just unfortunate. These things happen and we'll have to do a lot of work between now and the summer to locate another striker. "You have to pay over the odds if you want to invest in this window but we won't be in for a striker. "We need to bring in a defender." Great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Reverse psychology man. Last year, 'Carroll going nowhere', this year, 'we won't sign a striker'...if only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a we are not selling just a we won't sell late in the window. *Fast forward to January 31st* Man City: "We'll give you £50m plus Onouha and Dzeko for James Perch" NUFC: "Nah, no chance.

Great Goes without saying, obviously, but that's pretty fucking abysmal. They'll have had a year and a half to replace Carroll by the time next summer comes around.

Pilko Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 That doesn't add up with the usual "we have to see who's available during the window" etc. I still think if there's a striker we've looked at available at the right (cheap) price for us, we'll get one, nowt wrong with dampening expectations.

Elliottman Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 It was one or the other. Striker or defender. Pards had to choose, and ultimatley a defender is a bigger priority at the moment. I really think its as simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Not really bothered with us not getting a striker, start Ben Arfa and one of Best and Shola untill Ba is back. we need a defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
