Ronaldo Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Darren Bent above the budget of one of the richest clubs in world football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Reading too much into the Ryder tweet, but: I wonder if this signals that Pardew is being given "more say" in recruitment, but still not much at all. I say that because rumours like Bent, Tomkins and Pearce seem very odd for a club where Graham Carr has been raiding Ligue 1 for so long. I know there were those quotes about PL experience, but seriously, these sorts of players are shite and smack of a Pardew wishlist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It smacks of a couple of quotes being used by the media to make up a whole load of possible 'links' IMO. I doubt it says anything at all about our transfer policy.

Didnt Douglas or someone say its the quietest time in years in terms of actual work being done so far? Smacks more of complete fabrication rather than Pardew having a wish list. Like you say it hasnt got much to say about us at all really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 No doubt you're both right. I just have this nagging fear that, in the end-of-season review, Pardew might have said something like, "You need to let me sign true English grit" or some such - and actually got some traction with it. Plus I'm reading too much into a solitary tweet by a paid lackey. And it's the silly season and I'm bored As well as it being Darren freaking Bent!

Stifler Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 No way will we be in for Bent. Too old, Villa wanting too much for him and high wages. He is everything we avoid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'd happilly take Jozy Altidore in our squad competing for the striking role - he's actually a good all around footballer with strength, pace, and link-up play ability. Not sure he's a first 11 player b/c hes not nearly as lethal a finisher as Cisse, but If he were to come in and compete that would be excellent.

AlanSkÃrare Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I thought we were done signing has beens? I have no idea what sort of value this would represent. It also looks as if Pardew has had his demands of more experience heard here, which is a crime. Another of the completley pointless excuses for the abomination of football we served up this season.

Say what? None of that has actually happened. The lengths some people go to to slag off Pardew on here. Just going off the players we're getting linked with. If we're trying to rectify what went wrong last season by buying more Premier League experience, his argument has probably hit home. It's not going to lengths - is it? The fact that the board backed Pardew and stuck by him indicates that they have no idea how much his tactical ineptude and negative mentality contributed to our downfall.
