timeEd32 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas Clarification on the 'we need 2' point: two to avoid relegation. Am sure the squad will be strengthened beyond the 2 senior recruits but they'll be more likely to be Haidara type young players. My info is a chance of more than 2 senior recruits... One would be a start tho! Two good senior players to go straight into the first team and one or two promising young players would be an excellent outcome. Six months too late, but excellent nevertheless. It looks increasingly unlikely. You had to edit in the negative qualifier didn't you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 This two to stay up crap worries me slightly.. I mean we have a team already that should be midtable not loitering at the bottom. Also I hope our players don't read into those quotes either.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Find myself less and less interested in who we sign and don't sign. I just want us to play games and win them ffs. How can we be so pessimistic about beating Reading? Even with our injuries and small squad, surely we have too much for them? Fucking hell Pardew, sort this shit out man! That post could have gone in any one of several threads. It's just the overriding feeling for me. We need the games. We need the points more than we need the new players, if that makes any sense.

Guest Phil K Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 All he would end up with is a different set of people having a go at him, for a slightly different reason. And I don't think you can judge the tone of his interview from a tweet by George Caulkin. Anyway, who cares. Who cares ? Well i do, i'm not talking so much about what he's saying just how he is saying it. I want my manager to be upbeat, especially in adversity. I want him giving the team enthusiasm and guile, to go out and win against the odds. Not what we have now, a f***ing dour, useless tactically clueless idiot who is sending the team out as if they are already beat. So yes i f***ing care. Well said. Agree with every word Every time Pardew opens his mouth, I get MORE worried we're going down, not to return for a LONG time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Whether you believe Pardew's words or not, it's pretty concerning that we're now at the stage at which the manager is publically saying 'buy me two players or we're going down'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting in someone like that Thauvin lad would be good, but we need these kind of recruits now not in the summer, so that we can keep the likes of Sammy, Ferguson, Shola, Williamson and Obertan out of the team, they're just not good enough at the moment/ever. That's on top of getting in a couple of long overdue "purples". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my biggest concern - if he doesn't accept that his tactics, set piece routines, team selections etc. are even partly responsible for our league position (which he clearly doesn't) then we're in big trouble. Even with our injury problems we've usually put out teams that should at least be giving the opposition a decent run for their money but we've looked clueless, gutless and have been rolled over convincingly time after time. Pardew's demeanor and comments seem to suggest that he intends for us to carry on using the same tactics but that we need 2 new first team players to make it work? If we stay up this season it'll be in spite of Pardew, not because of him. TWAT! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Pardew man Can't imagine how he felt after we got gazumped by QPR for Remy. I reckon he would have just about taken a swing at Llambias. Pardew is cracking up. "2 or 3 players, no 3 or 4, 1 or 2, 2 for 1, 1 for all, all for one ... no more relegation!" What is the significance of these numbers anyway? Really needs to stop talking about players we're after in that way. It's embarrassing and depressing the way the numbers start to dwindle as his confidence plummets with each passing day.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I can't believe that anyone thinks that Pardew, Newcastle manager Pardew, doesn't think he's responsible for how the team plays, because George Caulkin tweeted that he wanted 1 or 2 players to help us stay up. I hope something happens soon, because the level of discussion on here has reached absolutely frightening depths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew's guff wouldn't be so bad if the idea was to put pressure on the board, but since it will have zero impact what's the point? All it does is send out negative vibes and undermine the confidence in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quayside Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 That Wraith clown reckons Darren Bent. Transfer windows supporting us are no fun anymore. Two of the more obvious Premiership strikers who seem to be on the market are Bent and Danny Graham so both are likely to get touted in rumours. I don't know what Villa are paying Bent but suspect it might be more than we would so that could kill that one off fairly sharpish? I like Danny Graham and would be happy to have him among our options, he's from Gateshead so maybe a Newcastle shirt might mean something other than a job to him.

toon25 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Would trade a couple of new faces for a new manager at this moment, like. Am convinced a more competent coach could get the best out of this bunch to keep us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
