Ginola Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 How long do people actually expect him to be at the ACN btw? He plays for Mali, they wont do THAT well Traditional powers like Nigeria, three time defending champion Egypt, Cameroon, and South Africa failed to qualify. I really don't have any idea who might do well. Ivory Coast and Senegal, obviously Ghana aren't bad. Burkina Faso are actually ranked higher than Senegal, not that FIFAs ranking system is particularly accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 If you are hoping for a rapid exit for Mali or Senegal, you should pray that they avoid the groups headed by Equitorial Guinea and Gabon. They are both in pot 3, so there is a possibility they could be placed with Ghana/CIV and another good team like Tunisia. Both are some of the continent's most massive underachievers, so nothing would surprise me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Must admit, it seems like the board are slowly learning lessons. He got rid of Wise and ended up bringing in Graham Carr, leading to a clear transfer strategy and youth policy. This summer we actually got players in early....like REALLY early on, which was great. And in the past if Pardew threatened to walk, he'd have probably let him. Now we're signing players in advance of January? Very nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I don't think it's coincidence that we played much better since starting Ba and Best together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Indeed, The Journal understands that United have drawn up short striker hitlist featuring Maiga, FC Twente striker Luuk de Jong, summer target Papa Cisse and Lille’s free-scoring Senegal forward Moussa Sow as the most prominent targets. The quartet are all being discussed as potential January signings but Maiga fits most comfortably into United’s requirements on age, salary, price and ability. Most importantly, he is interested in moving to St James’ Park. The Journal understands French reports claiming a move is close to fruition are premature, with Alan Pardew intending to take in a Sochaux game in the coming weeks to deliver a final verdict on the player. But despite no formal agreement, United have stolen a march on the rest of the chasing pack and the odds are stacked in their favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Cisse is the shit, but i can not see us paying the asking price for him. Would be perfect next to Ba. Unsure about Maiga, maybe as i have not seen him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The good thing about our start is that it opens up so many doors for us. Currently we are 4th in the league and getting lots of excellent press world wide. It makes it easier to get players in, easier to extend contracts, easier to get sponsorship deals and dare I say.... easier to find a buyer. ( not that a new owner would necessarily be a good thing now that we are firing on all cylinders). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
