LRD Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 We won't pay 4m for a reserve keeper. Unless we sell Krul for big money and he's the replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have three players (Cabaye, Marveaux and Ben Arfa) who possess anything anywhere near top level creativity. Not that difficult to fit him into the team.

Skeletor Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not sure how Siem De Jong would fit into our team. We have one quality winger and only one quality striker. Signing him means we can't play either 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 effectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Here we go, everyone arguing over where De Jong would fit in our team and we havent even made a bid for him, never mind the fact that Ajax would probably refuse to sell him in the January window anyway, particularly for the sort of money we would bid. Its not going to happen period! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Play him with Cisse then? I think Remy was going to be played upfront anyway. By most accounts Pardew seems to want to go with two forwards.

Meh, just need the fullbacks to be a bit more disciplined and a mobile anchorman who can cover the flanks quickly. You can make anything work if you're willing and able to put in the planning/training hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
