Sean Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Wonder, 4 years down the line, would Mourinho take up the helm after pardew has made a fantstic stint at having us in the top 6 all along? I think it would take someone with Mourinho's confidence to believe that they could take us to the next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different styles but both have excellent technique Lot of the time yeah both have been. This instance though not sure where he was trolling? He said yesterday will should have someone in within 14 days, he is looking right. Debuchy is still on holiday so it may take that long to get medicals and everything.

Scotty66 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 What was actually said in the interview? On the sky sports feature? Pardew was talking about how he has learnt so much from other managers when he was out of football management. One of his biggest influences was Mourinho. Clearly has a man crush on him which is understandable I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Great quotes from The Mirror Good signs ahead: Pardew insists Newcastle have the cash to recruit three players this summer By Brian McNally | Alan Pardew has given the Toon Army a massive summer boost by claiming Newcastle have the budget to buy three players this summer without any need to sell. Owner Mike Ashley’s controversial self-sufficiency strategy has always required players to be sold to fund incoming deals and, down the years, has seen top Magpies stars, such as Andy Carroll, Shay Given and James Milner, depart. But, following Newcastle’s fifth place finish last term and a return to Europe, Pardew has revealed his transfer plans are not dependent on a big-name departure. Pardew admits he has no control over the Demba Ba situation – where the striker is contractually allowed to leave for £7m if Newcastle receive an offer by July 31. But the Newcastle boss is adamant that much-coveted stars, such as Cheick Tiote – trailed by Chelsea and both Manchester clubs – and French Euro 2012 star Yohan Cabaye, who is on Barcelona’s radar, would only go for the sort of inflated fee that took Carroll to Liverpool in January 2011. Pardew said: “I know we can sign two or three players and keep all those we have. I know we can do that. I think we will be stronger. “And if we do lose a marquee player to a really inflated price – an Andy Carroll price – then we have got to trust our judgment and go into the market place and bring in an equivalent, and I think Mike is quite comfortable with that. “The big job this summer is keeping players, as well as signing them. I think that is the key. “We still have a window wide open and everyone is analysing and looking at what they did over the last year and at what other teams did. “A lot of people will look at us, so I’m not out of the woods on that for sure. “I don’t fear a big offer coming in, I expect it. I expect a bid for one of our marquee players. “Whether it’s enough money to take the player away, we will have to wait and see, but it would have to be a lot of money.” Pardew believes the team spirit, which had Newcastle challenging for a Champions Legue place last season, will remain intact. He added: “I would be very surprised if the spirit and camaraderie we built up last season was broken up, unless we lost four or five players – and I cannot see that in a million years.” Pardew dismisses suggestions his team over-achieved last term and is urging his squad to keep their sights set on the top of the table. He explained: “We finished fifth, but that was last season. “It is important that the message gets through to the players here that, while it is a good finish, it isn’t winning the league. “There are still four places to aim at above us and, if you want to be a winner, then you have to be better than you were last Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I like his honesty that a player could be sold for a silly fee but glad to hear they'd go for a like for like replacement with silly money, buying a load of cheap players is alright but can stutter success. Still if we inflate as much as usual likely we'd find a decent mid-point. Sounds like he expects to lose no-one though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Loved that if we lose no one and Sign Debuchy, Douglas and striker we will be much stronger this season. Add to that with people like Ben Arfa, Santon, Cisse starting the season and youth players playing a more important role and Marveaux and Taylor coming back. It's all very positive and i love that, cant wait for the new season of course European football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only see... “And if we do lose a marquee player to a really inflated price – an Andy Carroll price – then we have got to trust our judgment and go into the market place and bring in an equivalent, and I think Mike is quite comfortable with that. “The big job this summer is keeping players, as well as signing them.

I expect a bid for one of our marquee players. “Whether it’s enough money to take the player away, we will have to wait and see, but it would have to be a lot of money.” The bit in bold reads as: if one of our better players gets sold for a ridiculous price then we'll have to bring in another good player. Nothing mentioned about spending silly money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
