Cajun Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Some say that but when he tries to lower expectations he gets shot to shit again. He will be asked questions on a regular basis and will never be able to please everyone. At the end of the day [/Gerrard] it would be better for him if he got what the fans wanted, he just has to hope the board can provide this and try and keep as many as possible happy.

At the end of the day [/Gerrard] it would be better for him if he got what the fans wanted, he just has to hope the board can provide this and try and keep as many as possible happy. There's a happy medium between overstating how many players we're gonna buy and constantly flogging our key players for sale. The worst part for me is after we fail to get the players that he himself said we needed just a few weeks before the transfer window slams shut, he then patronizes the fans by saying that we have to realign our expectations and should realize that we have a good squad. And then when players injured, he moans that our squad is not big enough. Pardew is flip flipping worse than Romney and to me he lost a lot of credibility in the last transfer window. I just find it hard to believe what he says anymore especially on transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Quotes today on French radio. http://www.le10sport.com/football/france/ligue1/losc-debuchy-en-2013-ce-n-est-pas-sur-que-je-parte-80161 "I fought to go to Newcastle, the President didn't want that. I didn't want to clash with him. I don't have any regrets. I had regular contact with the people from Newcastle, there were several offers of over €6m. The episode is past, I am 200% for Lille" "I didn't want to leave for the sake of leaving. I wanted to join Newcastle. It's not certain if I will leave next year".

Pilko Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Doesn't sound like it's dead to me. I reckon we'll see if we can get him for the same price in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Says he won't be leaving Lille in the January window. I can see us flogging Simpson, stuttering through the second half of the season with Tavernier, Perch, Anita, Ferguson & Santon at full-back and going back for him in the summer.

Mole_Toonfan Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If we are leaving the search till next summer i can't see us going back in for him as he will be 28 then and with Ashley around i can't see us spending the cash required. Even if Simpson goes we will look elsewhere IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 nobody would be silly enough to buy simpson. Aye, who would buy the right-back from a side that finished 5th... The lad gets way too much stick on here and its a shame because despite his flaws, he has proved himself an able and competent Premier League full-back. A player lets not forget who has played a huge part in our revival over the years too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 nobody would be silly enough to buy simpson. Aye, who would buy the right-back from a side that finished 5th... This line bugs the hell out of me. What's to say we wouldn't have finished 3rd or 4th with a decent RB? (not saying we would have). Djimi Traore won the Champions League, it doesn't mean Real Madrid would have taken him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
