Mole_Toonfan Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Player power wins 9 times out of 10...the 10th being Benteke. Fair play to Villa for the way they dealt with that, fairly sure our lot would be the polar opposite. It does but there is nothing to suggest that Ashley would sell him for cheap its just classic doom mongering as there are zero examples of us letting key players go for cheap unless their contract was up or had a clause. If he wants to go and i wouldn't blame him for doing so but he won't go for cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I personally don't think we will sign anyone unless Cabaye is sold, particularly after those Ashley quotes regarding the "I've only got 2bn left". If cabaye goes we will use the money. Honestly? Don't see why that would be the plan. They know we're desperate for a forward, we've already bid for Kone at least. I know we can be tight, but I wouldn't expect a summer with zero signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It would like. Any club willing to put that amount of money up will turn his head and we'll have little choice. Even if his head wasn't turned he'd be pushed out the door in a shot if someone put down £15m. Pards has already said we are overloaded in midfield.

Teasy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 How can anyone count Harper or Gosling when talking about players out?, you might as well count Kemen as an in in that case.. even Simpson is difficult to count. Perch is the only real player we've lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perch is the only real player we've lost. I wouldn't compare Gosling to Harper or Simpson tbh. Although i do think we are well covered in those positions without needing to sign replacements. As said as it stands winger and a striker would do me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perch is the only real player we've lost. Still senior players we are losing, Simpson was still a capable squad player behind Debuchy.

I wouldn't compare their Newcastle careers, but as far as usefulness Harper would see no more action than Gosling next season and Simpson not much more.

Teasy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Simpson who played about thirty games last season is difficult to count. Are we replaying last season next season then? We've signed players since than you know, if we'd had Debuchy and Yanga-Mbiwa from the start of last season how many games do you think Simpson would have gotten.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Simpson was a solid and usually reliable defender he definitely counts The reason i'm not bothered about him is because we have Debuchy, Santon, Haidara and Pardew seems to trust Dummett as well Yanga Mbiwa and Anita can play there. He's definitely more of a loss than Perch, Harper or Gosling though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perch was ok'ish, Harper still a senior keeper albeit extremely average, Gosling agreed terrible Harper was third choice keeper and could move to fourth choice anytime now with younger keepers coming through. Simpson counts as a senior player of course, but not a loss IMO, but then I detest him more than some, and of course Perch is a useful squad player but I'd much rather see players like Anita and Bigiramana given a chance instead.

He's definitely more of a loss than Perch, Harper or Gosling though. We obviously completely disagree on Simpson, he's ok as backup if we absolutely have to play him, but a constant and glaring weakness in the side when he was playing every week. Like you say we've got more than enough players to cover their so I'm not sure how you can laugh at the idea that he doesn't really count as a loss, how can we say "4 out none in" if some of the 4 out are players we ourselves admit aren't useful and don't need to be replaced.

Suppose, maybe that is the plan to have Tiote/Cabaye with Anita and Bigi as backups. Would still like maybe one more option although I suppose Jonas urgh and Sissokho could drop in there when injuries inevitably happen. Right back I take the point that Santon can drop in and should be looking at giving Tavernier chances if up to it. Keeper, not sure about Alnwick mainly because never seen him play.
