morpeth mag Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If we were to sign Sissoko, Haidara & Gouffran we could have a potential line up of: Krul Debuchy - Mbiwa - Colo - Haidara Cabaye - Sissoko Ben Arfa - Marveaux - Gouffran Cisse #frenchasfuck If Cisse was injured then Gouffran could play up top and Obertan could come in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Matt Spiro @mattspiro Houllier (Canal+): 'The #NUFC dressing room will be totally unbalanced. You cant stop French speaking French together. There'll be problems' Just buy more, and while we're at it ring Gerard and see if he fancies bringing balance to the dressing room.

Guest VanBarduck Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I do remember an unbeaten Arsenal side , with 5 french players in the starting XI... Those where the good times for them , now the man wearing the number 14 is named Walcott :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be problems' Incredibly short sighted view there. One of the reasons we have been able to attract quality French players here rather than the capital is we already have the likes of Ben Arfa and Cabaye here. It's a fantastic counter balance to the London clubs being able to grab players due to location and cosmopolitan nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Houllier who used the press to publicly decline our managerial position not so long ago before signing up for Villa if I remember right. Grand job he did there.

themanupstairs Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 This the same Houllier who had 15 or soFrench players on the books at one point during his time at Lolerpool? When did that happen? And if it did, maybe he's talking from bad experience. I disagree with him, but his opinion is more credible than many others in the game tbh.

merlin Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Story doing the rounds that we may have tried to get Van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon. Really like this kid, he's scored 19 goals in 36 games for them after joining from Holland in 2011 and looks quick and dangerous - good in the air too. We were looking at him before he moved to Portugal. There is also a possibility that W Ham are in for him - Sporting are in financial trouble and need to sell but apparently they turned down a recent bid of 15m Euros from CSKA. Can't see us matching that....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We need one more. Hatem is out for another 4/5 games. We need at least 6 wins and a couple of draws, I still don't think we have enough cutting edge. It's gonne be awfully close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
