Jack Flash Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Anyway, it'd be nice if we signed a striker. Where are we with that? Pardew in our special transfer hotel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Would anyone take Gomis? i would prefer another type coz i want us to play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. same same. point is he cant play next to cisse imo. If he comes in as back up for cisse and we get a LW/attacker with pace and goalscoring record then fine. have not seem him for some time though. think we really need to consider if we should be signing the types of player we all want or the types of player that pardew can work with i have a suspicion that signing the former will be our death note if we do as you suggest we will not develop and key players will leave in the summer! 100% sure of that! we're not developing anyway, i think we'll lose more key players when we're relegated after trying to get technically proficient dwarves to play like the wimbledon FA cup winning team know what you're saying but the football was awful, awful at times last season and players were happy 'cause they were winning well maybe the first step in the right direction would be to let pardew go oh well yeah but that's looking like the least likely of all the options at the moment isn't it, i was approaching it from the assumption that they'll never sack him, which i really believe I think they will like, but it'll take ages for the penny to drop and they'll have to find someone else willing to pander to them in the press, which might take a while.

Hughesy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Going direct at times would be perfectly logical if we actually had the players and/or setup to do so. Long - sorry lofted - balls up to an isolated striker's chest/head are just pointless yet we continue to it over and over again with Pardew often heard bellowing 'GET IT FORWARD!' from the touchline. It's even dafter now we're no longer have Ba's physicality. I agree with that. My point was that Anita's balls were, in the main, attempts to play the ball over the top of the defence for Cisse to run onto and not long balls up to Cisse's head.

Dave Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 16th of January today. What date is the cutoff for when you're officially panic-buying, and probably paying over the odds? Because we don't do that, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 1st. Any buys in January are panic buys based on a number of factors, namely that you didn't get your business done in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we don't do that, obviously. 1st of January was our cut off for signing anyone apart from Right Back, we will no doubt be short in the areas we need it most come 1st Feb. It worries me that we don't appear to have a first choice CB on radar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Isn't Gomis about 30 years old? Can't see us spending big money on someone that old, and shit. Maybe if we thought we could pick him up for £2-3m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly think these kinds of strikers would struggle in the PL. Battyboy Goomis is not the ans. He struggles to hit over 11 goals a season at top clubs in France while playing almost every game. A 1in 3 striker from ligue 1, who isn't going to get any better translates to a 1 in 4 player at best over here. Simply not good enough, I'd rather we signed no striker than pay more than £2-3m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can drop off and so on and has a bit of creativity. Otherwise we're back to square one with the greater spotted Pardclue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 http://www.voetbalcentraal.nl/nieuws/90206/aanvoerder-siem-de-jong-maakt-seizoen-af-bij-ajax It seems unlikely that Siem de Jong, captain of Ajax, will not end the season in coach Frank de Boer's team. Interest in the international is increasing, and Newcastle United are reportedly considering taking the offensive midfielder. ''If there were clubs interested we would refer them to Ajax, but currently there is nothing,'' said Louis Laros, the agent of De Jong in conversation with AD. He has previously said he wishes to end this season with Ajax. ''You never know if crazy things might happen, but for now we are not involved in talks with any club,'' said Laros. Paraphrased this.
