Kanj Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Maybe things might've turned out differently if he'd scored that good chance in the later stages of the Europa League or a similar chance away at Chelsea... It might of kick started something inside him as you felt there was more inside of him that he showed... Personally would've just stuck him in the team in place of Cabaye once he was sold and give him a long run in the team and then decide his future... Logical that, it was too easy of a decision but we know the silver King just throws in Moussa there or Luuk De Jong there and calls it a day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Undecided about Marv, he's quality technically but doubts about whether he can play regularly in the PL. Not that he was ever given a proper chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 139 league appearances in his career at the age of 28 says it all. It makes Kieron Dyer look like a workaholic. Quite happy to spend years wallowing doing nothing "earning" premier league money, safe in the knowledge he'd signed one of our 5 year specials. His weekly wage will be very decent after signing on a free as well. Absolute bone idle bastard who has never got the stick he deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he was ever given a proper chance. I agree with your assessment of the player, but I do think he was given a chance. He couldn't cope with the physical demands of the PL. Shame, because he was good to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't think his injury record here was that bad, for a player who came to us with an injury prone tag stuck on him. Maybe that would have been different if he had played semi-regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The state of comments sometimes... "Doesn't show he cares", "Happy to be sitting on a bench" Yeah? You hear him say that? Not every player is chest pumping loves a tackle and an elbow Steven Taylor. I still can't imagine this forum needs reminding of who he's playing for and the fact that the King has fallen out with the most creative player we've had in ages, and one of the most exciting players we've had in the same time. This is the same guy who tore apart Fulham and Villa at the beginning of the season and then was blamed for about every other loss whenever he touched the pitch. That's the kind of man he's playing for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 To me, Pardew owes him massively for helping dig him out of the shit a couple of seasons ago. A couple of last minute assists kept Pardew's head above water and he still never really played him last season. Whether something went on behind the scenes I don't know, I remember being impressed by him in a midfield 3 but that's another role he never got given again. He was talked up as the only one who could play Cabaye's position and see those passes but again, all talk and we'll have Sissoko in that number 10 role being a target man.

toontownman Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Never rose to his potential but was barely given the chance. Wish him all the best this year.. hope he blows it out of the water and has a great season. Maybe, just maybe by the time the loan is up Pardew will be history. Ah we can dream.

Kanj Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'd prefer every player Pardew has mismanaged who's been decently respectful to the fans or the shirt to leave and stick it to him. I used to hope out of of Premier League but I'd rather see guys leave and the press ask Pardew on the spot about a player who's left and done brilliantly well.

Jordan Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 He's got a great range of passing and a good eye for reading the game but I always thought he was too lightweight for English football. Still would have been playing him every game last season as his strengths were exactly what we needed, same as HBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still would have been playing him every game last season as his strengths were exactly what we needed, same as HBA. He wasn't too lightweight to play as an attacking midfielder when we already had two defensive midfielders on the pitch. But since Pardew wants everyone bar the striker in our own half defending, then there were probably better options to do the job he wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 An assist for the first goal, nice dribble and pass to the player who won the penalty, and another highlight there where he went past someone and brought a good save from the keeper. All this whilst playing as a number 10 and not being instructed to hang a set piece 30 foot in the air with no pace on it to the back post. Who'd have thought that would work.
