Hanshithispantz Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Not even a little bit? Not for me. With this team, only the basics needs to be in place. It will probably be in spite of him. If we're ahead against Villa come the 60th minute mark he'll probably replace Marv, Sissoko and Gouffran with Perch, Jonas and Shola. Do not underestimate Pardew's talent.

Jack Flash Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Giving a useless, detestable workman very good tools worked last season. I just hope we won't have to keep plying him with fantastic players every window to see results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 "What all our signings this window bring is essential competition for places and that is great for the remainder of the season." I have a lot of respect for him for these signings. I know he doesn't have as much input as some other managers do/did, but he's the man in the hotseat right now and at the very least he deserves credit for persuading the owner to spend this much. I certainly wasn't expecting us to spend anywhere near £20m. Aside from the blatant lies at the start of the season, he's always insisted that he needed a bigger and better squad and it's hard to argue with that given the daft 11 purples theory from his MD. Now we need to show much better on the pitch. Results are the most important thing at the moment, but a bit of good football wouldn't go amiss.

Sifu Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Alors Alan...over to you. The new signings will be a much needed boost for us and certainly for Pardew. But now it's time for him to show us what he's really made of...will he be up for the task? We shall see...like Cajun said last night, it's almost as if he's been given a clean slate.

Can't argue with the response. It does, and you're right, we can't. This is a shit or bust move for sure. We've signed some really quality here, for incredible money in the current market, it's nearly unbelievable in all honesty, haven't really had the time to process it all as they came tumbling in one after another Remember it not that long ago Mbiwa and Sissoko were getting the face, when mentioned with us (and rightly so too) but here they are none the less.

nufc4eva Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 What's important now is that they get the results to keep us up and then try and push up the league and at the end of the season they review what went wrong and make sure it doesn't happen again. They need to peddle Shola, Williamson and Jonas at the end of the season and bring in good squad players, preferably british and hungry, maybe look in championship and league 1 and see if any players can step up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'm in no doubt the Pardew fully realises he is on the precipice and very close to confirming the Charlatan that he is. It is make or break and these signings may well have saved his arse, maybe beyond the summer too. He certainly knows he wont get a job bigger than this, if he doesnt throw everything at it now welcome to punditry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BrightonMag Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 "I'm hoping it's too early for them, and that Sammy [Ameobi] and Shane Ferguson, James Tavernier and Adam Campbell come through. "They need to, because we can't keep buying players." I'm not particularly happy with the younger players getting a significant share of the blame for this season. IMO Ferguson has played better than Jonas this season, even though both have been a bit up and down (at least Ferguson as left midfield has shown some genuine beating his man, dribbling, and left wing crosses) and Campbell has looked very promising in the very few minutes we've seen him play. (as an aside, Dummet was fine when he came on at Brighton, and I did hear that he was man of the match when losing 5-0 to Celtic a while back) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
