AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Contingencies that we conveniently decide not to go for time after time. What's your view on our approach to transfers Dave? Do you think Carr only identifies one player for every position we need? Or do you think we want to buy our first choice but don't want to buy anyone else if we miss out?

Jack Flash Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 My problem is with the crazy analysis of every word Pardew says, and the idea that it's part of some PR strategy to brainwash unsuspecting fans. This blatantly happens to a certain extent btw. It's incredibly naive to think he's not being fed lines occasionally. I don't think it happens beyond a general desire to keep the fans happy and not create scandals. Obviously I don't know, but I would be extremely surprised if there's much planning behind it. The needless downplaying of our finances and the desperate touting of our players is certainly something that comes from the boardroom and is agenda driven. All this stuff should start kicking in again after the Reading game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Carr only identifies one player for every position we need? Or do you think we want to buy our first choice but don't want to buy anyone else if we miss out? Well the evidence of the summer seems to match the latter. Do you think we'll get a striker of the calibre of Remy in the next fortnight? By all accounts we've been assessing him for months. I don't blame them for him going to QPR for more money, but if there's an option B I would imagine it's a low-risk £3m player; probably one that is in dispute with his club.

I think it's one of them where for target 1 or maybe even 2 we'll pay an almost going rate for them, targets 3+ etc we'll most likely wait until there is a contract issue we can take advantage of. This is for 'purples' only though. Youth wise I don't think we're as fussy as there is less of a risk at stake. Obviously this is based on fuck all and I'll add disclaimer I don't think we should turn into Pompey/Leeds and pay everyone everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, you might be right I suppose. It just seems odd to try and buy a player at all if the club thinks we can get by without one. I mean, why bid for Remy if they don't think we need a striker? And if they do think we need a striker, surely they would look at more than one. Obviously possible that everyone involved is totally incompetent.

I'd suggest that there are a very small number of quality players that fit into our budget, so when a deal falls through it's not easy finding an alternative without diluting the quality of the signing quite a bit.

Benwell Lad Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The obsession of some with twisting words and trying to put a negative slant on anything Pardew, or anyone from the club, says is a shame because it just dilutes or even negates some of the more valid criticisms.

Guest malandro Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Both the club and Pardew never quite manage to be up front, there's always a lot of ambiguity and carefully worded get out clauses that give the impression (to anyone who doesn't just blindly buy into anything they say) that they are hiding something. They are always going on about recognising the need to improve their communication but it never happens, hence the PR lass recognising this problem for the umpteenth time at the recent fans meeting. Take today's utterances.. "I think now we've just got to find a way, that's what we're going to have to do. Our gameplan that we had last year and the way we played a little bit might need to change to just make sure that we continue being a stable Premiership side and then look to next year to start going back to attacking the top of the league." It means nothing, just vague random words thrown together. Reading between the lines it sounds like he is planning on reverting to a negative hard to beat approach. I could be wrong, but this is what happens when you have to read between the lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
