Hanshithispantz Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Cisse is hardly slow though, which is the point here. When Pardew says pace and power how probably doesn't mean Obafemi Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Berba? Berba isn't quick and he isn't a target man, Pards is talking Obertan like pace and none of those players mentioned in other posts have that type of pace. Pards is describing Remy if you actually read the full quotes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pards is describing Remy if you actually read the full quotes. Not too many people have Obertan like pace though. He was just using him as an example. Remy does make sense though. Pardew is a nitwit. Ben Arfa and Marv can clearly go through the gears too. The guy is just talking trash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"However, the manager warned that while the club's need is great, their financial model will govern what they are able to do." I don't even worry about the financial model being a restriction anymore, as we continue to sign really good players. What is of concer now is the numbskull in charge of the team.

Wilson Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Pardew said: "I would like, if possible, to have a player with real power and pace. Sometimes, we lack a little bit of pace. "Obertan brings that to the team, but when Gabby is not in the team, that's something I would like to see in the player that comes in because that will help Papiss, and also somebody who is going to threaten at set-plays because it has been a weakness for us.

Yep although we made a decent start to the window, I'm not convinced we'll end up doing enough. TBH assuming no more out goings then if we don't bring in at the very least a CB and a Ba replacement then we will be screwed, that's the bare minimum we should expect and if the board can't make that happen due to the model then the model is fucked because you can throw it out of the window when you are playing championship football next year.

Skeletor Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Tbf it doesn't mean we want to hoof.... For one thing he mentioned pace and no hoofball merchant is pacey..... He basically described Remy and Aubameyang( from highlights i have seen) both are strong, pacey and threat in the air. I would still hope he is looking to put a new forward out wide and Cisse through the middle tbh. Agreed. Remy ticks both pace and aerial threat boxes.

Sounds like it'll be a central striker from that. 4-4-2 and hoofing it is then. I think that's what he wants given his quotes about getting someone who can play with Cisse better than Ba could. At least we'll have Debuchy to provide some width? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Pretty obvious why he said it, if you say you are struggling with cash instead of acting like you are loaded you will be stronger when it comes to negotiations.... Barca are masters of it, i remember in the summer they signed Cesc that they said they only had 30m to spend and gradually brought the price down. I'd rather Pardew say things like money is tight than we brag about how much money we have tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
