Guest Rainforest Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Anyone sniping at the cunts running our club deserves a medal. They are actually getting away with it, so whats the problem with joey venting. I still love the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bmoregeordie Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 As far as the transfer window, it's disappointing, no doubt. And I'll bet dollars to donuts that the statement from Pardew includes some hint towards signing a striker in January. The seeds of Maiga rumors have already been planted. I'll be damned if I think they actually do this. And I won't be succumbing to the hype. Beyond the disappointment, this side is at least as good as what we entered last season with. We'll likely sign some striker on a free. And odds are he'll be better than Kuqi (who some people were actually angry about losing). The back line looks like it has potential, and there is a solid, creative, flexible midfield here with potential to be special. As for the strikers, I guess we'll find out exactly how mint Leon Best is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing compared to the damage done by Ashley. IMO Joey simply expressed what the locker room was thinking; others were merely too limit or chary to say anything.

So you're fine with him taking a shot at Santon as well? Anyway, I'm done with him. Going to focus on supporting the players we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sydneycove Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 FFS the signings we have made have been good. Compare with what others have done. Let alone the fact that Mav, Cabaye, Ba and Santon would waltz into any other team bar Man U, Man C, Chelsea and Arsenal and I am including Liverpool and Spurs in that.

Ba, Best and Shola will put more goals in than Martins, Viduka and Owen did in our relegation season. Are you really so stubborn that you can't admit our current team is better than our team from 08/09? FFS we scored 40 goals! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I still don't understand why we didn't just get Bendtner on loan. He still would've chosen Sunderland, as bad as it is to say. He has ties to Bruce who gave him his best season to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell Boi Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Seeing that 08/09 team brings back bad memories. I remember when Fulham scored at SJP on the last home game of the season and the heavens opened, it was so depressing, knew we were down then.

KaKa Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well, well, absolutely gutted for everyone tbh. Terrible stuff from the club stringing people along regarding this striker signing. Why not just say you weren't going to sign one if that was the case? They've clearly looked at the start we've had, and the goals Best has come in and scored again, and figured, why bother. Particularly as they were unable to move on any strikers during this window. I would therefore expect to now see Best right up there in the strikers pecking order, and really hope he will be given a chance alongside Ba, especially considering he seemed to be behind Loven to start the season. His overall play can be a bit erratic, but he has been banging in the goals everytime he starts a game. Hopefully with more playing time his overall play will be more consistent also. Seems Ba is coming around too, and so hopefully can begin to show a bit more of the pace and movement he did at West Ham, which should hopefully make for a decent partnership. This is the best we can hope for at this moment in time, unfortunately. Very short sighted stuff from the club. Genuine disbelief regarding the whole thing. Let's just route for Best, and really hope we've stumbled onto a bit of a player in him. More than we even currently think. Ba I believe will come good regardless.
