Dave Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Clear implication that Ashley didn't like Hughton playing 4-5-1 and sitting off teams. Pardew says it's been good for everyone to move away from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 That was quite a good interview, none of his usual bollocks and quite positive. Yeah I enjoyed that, Pardew talked a lot of sense there. While I'm not sure he should be publicly talking about his own players as Championship level playing above themselves, that is the reality if we are brutally honest. That would suggest to me that he has ambitions to bring in better quality players rather than meekly accept Llambias' bargain basement deals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Summary for those that can't be arsed: LAST SEASON - Players with 'championship credentials', playing above themselves somewhat this season. CARROLL - Carroll taken to Portugal to start running, but can't - Has slight tear, where the tendon joins the knee - no circulation, doesn't heal quickly - Definitely out of Fulham game, maybe Arsenal too - Pay tribute to Shola, Leon, Nile and Peter who have played a part in some great performances TRANSFER WINDOW - No transfer activity imminently - 'Gearing' to the last day - want best possible deal - Had a couple of calls on deals breaking down re: players - Most important thing is we don't lose our best players - Barton, Carroll, Enrique, Tiote - had enquiries but we've 'pushed them away' - Routledge move was best for him and best for the club - have to 'get better than Wayne and we will' INJURIES - HBA back for the Arsenal game to be assessed. - Gosling has 'slight problem' in knee - swelling, possible loose cartlidge - out for three/four more weeks RANGER - Ranger needs help to improve - has raw talent and speed. - He needs to improve technically - needs to change personality with regards to time keeping etc. - 'The lads love him' and 'we hope for big things for him' THIS SEASON - We've got to be careful that we don't get above ourselves in league - the important thing is to stay up - No reason why we can't get to 35 points quickly and start to look at going above Sunderland and possibly Europe THE SUMMER - Big factor for him is his summer trading - has to get it right, already looking forward - Looking for young, hungry players - looking for another Tiote. GENERAL COMMENTS - Sunderland game was 'electric' - proud of the group for performance. Spoilt by the last couple of minutes. - Unfortunate with injuries/suspensions - with Carroll and Tiote, we can challenge anyone. - He wants to 'attack' the league - two strikers on the pitch, not backing off. - As Newcastle we should expect to beat anyone and fear noone.

With all due respect you're already above us, and by some distance at present. If we get above you there'll be a decent chance of Europe. Tend to agree though.

We've just been promoted, your lots been going on about being top dog in the NE and the aim is to finish above a team just from the championship.
