Deuce Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The total breakdown on here if we sign N'Gog.. would be amusing until it actually sunk in that we signed David N'Gog. A front 3 of N'Gog - Cisse - Obertan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It was in one of the rags today (Mirror or Sun) that Danny Graham wants to be allowed to leave to go home to Sunderland (?!). If they got that wrong and he wants to come here then he's better than nothing, especially for Pardew's style. Not that I'm saying Pardew prefers hoof ball, before Inochi jumps in to remonstrate, just saying Pardew might make decent use of the lad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 So how many clubs can we actually compete with on wages? We can't compete with Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, QPR and possibly West Ham. London gives Fulham an advantage. When you think of it like that, it explains why we won't buy anyone that costs ~£10m or more. Because we won't pay them accordingly. Top half every year suddenly seems like a reasonable target.

toontownman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Graham is currently better than anything we have past Cisse.... but so is David N'Gog. Certainly be less unhappy with Graham but why would he come here to sit on the bench when that is why he wants to leave Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly be less unhappy with Graham but why would he come here to sit on the bench when that is why he wants to leave Swansea. At this point I would settle for a 100% improvement on Shola which should not be to hard to achieve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Wages shouldn't be too much of a barrier if we keep signing young, moderately priced continental players like Santon, Anita, Tiote etc and a few low cost refurbishment players like Ben Arfa, Marveaux and Ba. It worked last year and probably would have this year if we'd kept doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could go 4-4-2, and by that I mean a proper 4-4-2 not Cisse on the wing. We could also rotate if we want to go with one striker, same as we should have done when Ba was here.

A very good point, and abit depressing. However, will our wage expenses rise with the level of income from next years PL should we stay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'd bring Graham home, just to bring Graham home. Certainly could do much worse for a Cisse back-up (who'd probably start though). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 "Gouffran was offered an extension but he did not like it. He only wants to go to England," (via Infosport+) Given the comments of the Bordeaux president, I think we might see Gouffran at NUFC either now or in the summer. Player is eager to move.

BONTEMPI Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What a surprise, fuck all happening. Need to string this fucking lot up. If Liverpool can drive wankers out then why can't we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What a surprise, f*** all happening. Need to string this f***ing lot up. If Liverpool can drive wankers out then why can't we? Probably because they actually do something about it most of the time whereas we tend to sit back and put up with it. Maybe I'm being harsh but it's true. I think the only time in recent history where we really tried to consistently get somebody out of the club was Souness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
