So that would be the 2 or 3 he was saying from the start? It was actually up to 3 or 4 last week, now 1 or 2 and soon it will be a player back from injury and 1 signing. Then before you know it we are into "we tried" territory. Familiar feel, gutted to see this club being run in such a way. No clear approach never seem to get where we want to. We make everything seem much harder than other clubs and it shouldn't be. If we can't get the "A" players then maybe we need to adapt and adjust and bring in gap fillers on short term loan / contracts. Why can't we sign the odd 29 year old on a 2 year deal - fine no resale value but fuck me the money you lose by going into the championship next year and not bouncing back will be astronomical. Ashley is a business man and it's all about managing risk, if the risk of going down is high and has a high financial implication then try and fucking mitigate it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 But, but, we're not meant to pay any attention to what Pardew says! The importance placed on every little quote is absolutely insane. It's bordering on obsession. So he might have said '3 or 4', now he says '1 or 2', it's not like his answers to every single question actually affect NUFC transfer policy. Everyone needs to grow up.

It's more a deep concern that we cannot seem to get bodies through the door, we need players in the right areas not a random left back or attacking midfielder we need players up front and in centre defence, and it needs to be players that can shore us up rather than be world beaters at this point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 He'll end up saying 'three or four' in his post match interview and everyone will have their formations out again. It's clear what we need, and I don't doubt we are making an effort to secure them. Whether we're doing enough, or if we will actually get them, is never clear with this lot. Whatever gets said in press conferences will have no effect either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line though is that he always does this, lowering the numbers of the targets the closer the deadline day we come, it´s not just this time. And still.
