Mole_Toonfan Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 '2 or 3 players of considerable pedigree' Good, hopefully it turns out to be true. I'm sure Pardew is aware as anyone that we can't stand still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 He needs to drop this "at least we haven't lost anyone" horseshit. How's it horseshit? It's pretty significant, surely? It's trotted out time after time, certainly more so when we've not made inroads into signing players. I've said it before but it's not unreadable to expect a club of our size to keep a hold of our best players AND bring new ones in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Haha, Otters on a massive trolling exercise. All of Pardew's soundbites sound fine to me, in fact very sensible. This bit in particular.... “It’s better to be patient with the ones that you want, rather than going down the list a little bit.” I honestly couldn't care a less if we signed players today or on deadline day. And to be honest, if people said before the transfer window that we'd keep all of our major players and add someone of quality like Debuchy (which I'm confident will still happen) then I would say that's a good window. Not even remotely panicking. And this window isn't close to being a disaster as some are making out / trolling. Good post, holding out for Cisse worked out well.

SteveMc Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm eager for us to add players but am more Hindu than otter at the moment. Business people are very long term in focus and we as fans are very focussed on the immediate. I trust them to get it right but have long resigned myself to arduous transfer windows - its our approach now and i'm right behind it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust them to get it right but have long resigned myself to arduous transfer windows - its our approach now and i'm right behind it. Part of the problem is there are people who sit playing on here all day and every day just WAITING for something to happen. If they came on here less I doubt they'd be as bothered by the lack of news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Surely people are used to Otter's negativity trips by now? I am certain that we're looking at a relegation. In fact I'd say we'll finish rock bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The irony is I consider myself a happy go lucky character away from NUFC. Anyone saying they're happy with our summer so far though, is yakking out of their hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I doubt anyone is actually happy with it so far, but i think the majority are reserving judgement until when the deadline actually passes..... If the deadline passes and we still have not bought anyone, then i will show how i feel but for now i'm reserving judgement until the deadline passes.

Guest Stew Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The irony is I consider myself a happy go lucky character away from NUFC. Anyone saying they're happy with our summer so far though, is yakking out of their hole. Why? What has gone wrong or badly? The squad has been kept intact, a couple of squad/future signings and there's ongoing discussions with Pardew's top targets. Sounds good to me.

Keeping the core of good players should be a given, not something to celebrate. Transfer talk and gossip is meaningless and all that matters is actually signing players who can improve the team. And we've not done that so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone saying they're happy with our summer so far though, is yakking out of their hole. hate myself for saying it but look at the teams around us and what they have(n't) done in the market...if we were sitting looking at the likes of everton and liverpool having strengthened considerably then i'd probably be somewhat perturbed but no-one is really doing any business we're playing the same game we have since promotion and we've lost some windows and won some windows quite considerably...i'm confident if we don't get a certain player now then we'll keep chasing through january, cisse is concrete proof of that in fact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading an interview by Pards on an italian website, and he is supposed to have said he doesn't run the market operations himself. So who does it? Llambias? What's Pardew's role in acquiring players exactly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
