Jack Flash Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/9507274/Newcastle-manager-Alan-Pardew-is-content-with-his-squad-as-the-transfer-deadline-approaches.html “We’re not really trying to get players in,” said Pardew, whose side play Greek club Atromitos tonight following a 1-1 draw in Athens in the first leg of their Europa League qualifier. “I’m 100 per cent happy to go with what we’ve got. I think the squad can cope with Europe. “The young lads are going to get games this season. I’ve been saying to them, ‘This is your year.’ “I think we’re just watching the market and seeing if anything pops its head up to see if it’s appealing.” How spineless. Another window he's completely lied to us then. Or he's been lied to again by Ashley/Llambias. If he had any sense he'd have maintained a Hughton-like silence during the window. He's been burned before and yet again by the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Chances on improving on last season's finish are pretty much nil. Plenty people will be happy with a 7th or 8th placed finish, that's the worst thing. Still, at least we're not risking financial meltdown by recklessly overspending...

Wilson Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 that is depressing tbf, i had convinced myself that we weren't getting anyone else, but reading it is still like a kick in the stones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Aye I'll deffo be doing a Euro jaunt because unless we win a cup (), we have little chance if qualifying again next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Fuck this fucking club. Always fucking letting us down when it comes to the crunch. Love the players and everything, but we never even bother trying to progress beyond good deals. Nothing is ever done for our greater good. Fucking arseholes.

BONTEMPI Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Pardew is their puppet after all so he'd say nowt. If players end up wanting out and results start to slip, he's going to feel the pressure big style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Cheer the fuck up you miserable bastards. We still have a squad that is very similar to the one that finished fifth last year. Have some fucking faith in Pardew and the lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 You'd think people would have learned after last summer with some of the over-reactions again. Problem is, having finished 5th and talking up finishing in the top 4 this season. We are not going to do that without 2 or 3 senior players coming in. That is the frustration, its there for us to have a good go at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 By the way every time there have been rumours about players leaving, the club have clearly told all of the local journalists that there have been no offers. Have we really done that well to retain our good players if there have been no bids to turn down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Had accepted this about a week ago, so not too upset. But it's so frustrating that we can almost directly attribute poor runs of form last season to lack of depth and striker and in the back four and we haven't done anything to improve that.

We said in 2009 when we came up what the plan was, Llambias said after last summer's "disappointing" transfer window what the craic was after the meltdown...not sure why people think we're going to do things differently.

Jayson Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The reactions are utterly bizarre man. Everyone go back to August 2011 & review your posts. It may not go aswell as last season, but atleast entertain the idea that this isnt a complete disaster. You'd have thought Pards would have gained some trust by now.

Have we really done that well to retain our good players if there have been no bids to turn down? It didn't matter if there hasn't been a single bid. The club will still trumpet it as a glorious victory that we have retained our squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I may be in the minority here but I actually think it's harder to crack the top four this year than last. Man City/Man Utd/Chelsea spent ridiculous money. Arsenal will still be there, Spurs still there. Liverpool to look out for. I don't think we're two signings away from the CL, I think we're quite a distance away. Chelsea finishing 5th then winning the CL and blowing £100m fucked our chances, really.
