Surely it's a bit pointless even discussing January already. /besides, I bet he's talking about a replacement for Jonas and HBA there, not a striker.

Disco Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Now that the dust is settled, I'm not particularly interested in what Pardew has to say re the transfer failings. It's gone now, let's just focus on getting points on the board. We've a few positives with the HBA news and our new signings-especially Ba and Marveaux- will be that bit sharper for the international break. I've whined about it, but now I'm looking forward to some games, rather than the endless transfer whispers. Hear hear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I think Pardew should be involved in the negotiation process - it's a mistake to leave the manager out. he is the one who has to sell the club and project to the player, and is more likely to have a better idea of how he wants his budget divvied up.

It's clear that he is, just not party to the financial side of it which is fair enough. Marvaux, HBA and Cabaye off the top of my head have all commented how he helped sell the club to them (and I'm pretty sure there were others as well).

I really can't be bothered even thinking about signings in January after the failure to get the striker we needed this summer. I just hope Ba and Best step up to the mark and we can just get on with enjoying what was promising to be a very interesting season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 He was in Switzerland doing the scouting. No doubt keeping an eye on Derdyiok and probably now Shaqiri. Would welcome both with open arms. Xhaka is a canny player too, but we're stacked with attacking midfielders. Arsenal should probably sign him.

What manager plays a part in financial discussions between clubs? Madness. He was in Switzerland doing the scouting. No doubt keeping an eye on Derdyiok and probably now Shaqiri. Derdiyok is a possibility but i dont think he'd come here unless it looked likely we were qualifying for europe. Shaqiri will go to a top 4 club. No chance of us getting him. The lads a bit special.

maze Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Pre-QPR quotes: Pardew - don't blame me for striker shortage Comments from the manager to reporters on Thursday: "The criticism that's going to come from not getting a striker in has some validity to it because seven months is a long time. "But I can only say that from my point of view, we put the targets in front of the board and then it comes down to financial decisions, and that financial decision didn't take place. "We bid for three or four players to fill one position and none of them came to fruition, and that's the disappointment that we have to face. "I feel within the squad, there's a real camaraderie in there, a really good, strong spirit. Defensively, we have shown we are a tight unit and it's just about getting the goals now. "It's going to be important that people step up to the plate and come out of the pack and score goals and contribute to goals with assists, and there's certainly enough talent in that squad to do that. "Joey (Barton) is a controlled animal now on the football pitch. He's an aggressive player, but he has brought that under control. "He's a very, very good player and somebody we need to make sure doesn't influence the game as much as he did for us. "He hasn't got anything to prove to me or the staff here because the players all know how good he is. Obviously, there was a falling-out with the board that wasn't going to be rectified, so Joey has moved on. "He's got himself a contract that he has earned through not just his ability, but the way he has conducted himself in the last couple of years especially, and we wish him well."

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Pardew hits out after Newcastle fail to splash Carroll bounty on top quality striker By COLIN YOUNG Last updated at 10:00 PM on 8th September 2011 Comments (0) Add to My Stories Share Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has admitted he was angered and frustrated by the board’s failure to sign a new No 9 in the transfer window. Pardew was left empty-handed despite months of negotiations for various targets and a last-gasp bid for Bryan Ruiz, who instead left Twente for Fulham last week. ‘With the time scale we had, we should have got a striker,’ said Pardew. ‘But there are difficulties in today’s market, especially with young strikers who have got potential. That’s what we were targeting and that’s the hardest type of player to get. Best isn't good enough: Alan Pardew expected to add more firepower this summer 'The board found it very difficult and went up some paths that were dead ends. I’m disappointed because it would have made the jigsaw complete. ‘I’ll be the first to admit I was upset on the day, and the day after and the day after that. But that’s me done now.’ Pardew still insists owner Mike Ashley will give him the opportunity to spend the £35million taken from Liverpool for Andy Carroll in January. But he knows Newcastle will not spend for the sake of it. Pardew said: ‘The fans want the No 9 shirt filled. I just hope we can fill it in January. ‘I think it’s important that I put pressure (on the board). I feel the enthusiasm we have generated at the start of the season has gone with the signing not coming in. I’ve stressed that many times to Derek (Llambias, the managing director) and Mike. On the cheap: Demba Ba and Leon Best cost a fraction of Andy Carroll's transfer fee ‘They are passionate about the way they see the club and the way they want to do deals. They wouldn’t do a loan or a short-term fix, whereas I would have liked to. I had a couple of options that I thought would have worked for us but it has to work for them. ‘The board make the decision about who they think is financially right for the club.’ There was talk of Pardew walking out of St James’s Park last week, which he dismissed as ‘scare mongering’.

SteveMc Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Strong indeed. Sounds like he was as p*ssed off as we are. Wonder what tyhe baord will think of that. It is weird that they have done the ronnie gill questions thing and Lambias' statement at this time. Maybe he has demanded it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Aye. They must be a nightmare to work under at times, but he knew what he was getting into. I just can't wrap my head around a bloke who apparently loves a gamble/splurge in his personal life refusing to even budge a little bit with the football club that he owns. I'm not saying go crazy or anything, but you surely cannot be so fucking rigid with everything all of the time. They could have compromised on one of the many deals that were mooted and saw us with a striker at the end of it. Just hope the squad see us through another spell, like they pretty much did for the entirety of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
