Mistle17 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 And it's absolutely pitiful we're not willin to cough up for Siem De Jong. Although Pardew wouldn't have a clue how to use him anyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Cannot stand this 'and, of course, it's the mighty Premier Legaue' bollocks. He's playing against sunderland, man. God help our poor Luuk when he has to face Crystal Palace, Hull, Fulham, and Stoke? Send him back now, he'll never make it! Sums up Pardew quite well. De Jong hasn't been here "preparing" for the game the whole week, of course he can't start then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Not match fit, who would have thought that? Might have been a good idea to get him on New Year's Day in that case instead of waiting until two days before the derby. c***s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Better off playing him when he has the loud crowd backing him in the derby to score and be a hero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'd throw him in rather than start Shola. Go for it in the first hour and hope we're ahead by enough before our better players get tired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 He HAS to start we have no other choice, Shola upfront alone is a scary fkn thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Dream on. Pardew is the epitome of caution, fear and negativity. He will never start tomorrow. Never. Get used to the idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 It will be Shola on his own and we will look shit and get beat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 There's no way in hell we should be starting de Jong against the mackems. Maybe a cameo from the bench. But as it stands he's had no time whatsoever to get to know his teammates, get his fitness up, or get his confidence back. Dropping him into a derby game with a team he's never played with, in a league he's never played in, with all the expectation that you're already putting on him... it would be madness.

ujpest doza Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hatem had been ill all week in the build up to the game according to Pardew. That will be why he was fatigued. He simple has to start. How many times has this kid been ill?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 how unfit can this lad be for fucks sake? sounds like bullshit, he simply hasn't had enough time for pardew to sit him down with the dossier and explain his defensive duties in enough detail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 how unfit can this lad be for fucks sake? sounds like bullshit, he simply hasn't had enough time for pardew to sit him down with the dossier and explain his defensive duties in enough detail He hasn't started a game this season has he? As Wullie pointed out though, Shola hasn't been match fit since 2006 so even if not fully fit De Jong would be a better option by the simple fact he can move.

Nobody Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The fact that Pardew won't start him today sums him up very well. Cautious, negative cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I just hope when he does bring him on its who are chasing the game. He needs a huge welcome and I'm not sure he will get one if we are behind. Feelings are shit enough as it is right now after another shit transfer window.

Flip Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The fact that Pardew won't start him today sums him up very well. Cautious, negative c***. I'd obviously start De Jong over Shola but let's not forget that the German league has a long winter break and add that to the fact that he hasn't played many games and I don't think it's that ridiculous that De Jong won't start. If we only had Gouff or Cisse fit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 We desperately need the first goal, our entire gameplan depends on it. Even if he only lasted until half time, De Jong should be on from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppaz Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Wasn't this kid away at a fitness camp with his German club getting his fitness levels up just prior to us signing him? Granted he might not be sharp but he has got to be fit enough to play an hour. Will probably get the token 30 mins at the end of the game when HBA gets cramp.
