Guest bimpy474 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 So unless Pardew has a change of heart on tactics, Perch will be missed. If were going 4-4-2 he already has, It's going to be Cabaye (if he isn't sold) plus one other. I think it might be Sissoko more often than Tiote.

Skirge Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 We could do with signing a RB, we have Dbuch and although Taylor and MYM can cover RB I think we suffer a lot from having non specialist players in certain positions. Perch could play there and Simpson was a RB, we were desperate for two LB's we now have that but only one RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 People forget how ridiculously cursed we seem to be with injuries. Most years we tend to be top of the injury league. Ofcourse we will miss someone like Perch. Just off the top of my head; Krul - struggled with injuries recently particularly ones that can be recurring. Coloccini - has persistent back/hamstring trouble. S.Taylor - when did he last play a full season? Santon - quite a few hamstring pulls and also a known knee cartilage problem from when he first joined. Debuchy- again hamstrings. Missed a fair few games for lille and had a few problems for us in his first half season. Tiote- again muscle injuries Cabaye-groin etc Ben-Arfa- May be harsh but again hasn't yet played a full season for us in 3 years Shola - That's potentially 8 of our first 11 you know more than likely could miss chunks of next year and that's not to mention the likes of Vuckic, Gosling, Marveaux etc who also have their own history of problems.

Pilko Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Santon will be the second choice right-back, and then we have the left-back pool of Dummett, Haidara and Yanga-Mbwia to rely on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Anita is also a decent RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Depends what you mean by "missed", we finished 16th last season if certain players who played too much in a crap season are sold on and more talented players are given more chances it can only be a good thing. As i already stated we have 6 players ( all better than Perch IMO) in the role he was best at, we are not exactly going to struggle to get midfielders out on the pitch. Out of the ones let go only Simpson will be "missed" IMO because of pure numbers. It has nothing to do with tactics, more that we have more enough players to cope in that position.

How many times did we all keep saying it last year. We've got a decent first 11 but I cannot for the life of me think of a game where we put out our best team with everyone fit? Maybe spurs first game? except the only player who looked up to speed in that game was ben arfa so not sure it counts. Point is most likely we will rarely see our best 11 out unless we get lucky like we did in 11/12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Thought I'd post this in the rumours rather than the actual thread but been told tonight that Remy is staying in the hilton tonight, for talks with us tomorrow. Very much friend of a friend sort of stuff from a guy who supposedly works security at the hotel. I will will more than likely be proved wrong tomorrow.
