ponsaelius Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 "Newcastle are prepared to be patient as long as it means landing the right man, and will refuse to pay over the odds, believing that both Yohan Cabaye and Hatem Ben Arfa could both play the “No 10” withdrawn striker role in support of Papiss Cisse if no deal is done." Letting us down gently there Two injured players, one who's not expected back till February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 When Cabaye is fit i'm expecting him to play that role regardless if a striker comes in or not The report does not make me feel any better by saying something i expect regardless of what we do in the window. If the club don't get how important it is to get a forward in this window, of all windows then i don't think they ever will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I know a 'negative news is true, whilst positive news is probably false' mentality exists but maybe we're playing games with Marseille by showing we have plans if this doesn't go through. Maybe we're showing we're not desperate so don't try hiking the price up. Oh, who am I kidding? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Complete waste of Ben Arfa. Cabaye can do it but he's never going to be brilliant at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Complete waste of Ben Arfa. Cabaye can do it but he's never going to be brilliant at it. Agree... Ben Arfa is best on the right cutting in... Marveaux possibly a better number 10 than Cabaye... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Still think it's worth giving a fully fit HBA a try as a #10 at some point. Even if it's just in Europe or something. Cabaye's best form for us has come there though, so I'd be happy if that's how we ended up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Arfa is best on the right cutting in... Marveaux possibly a better number 10 than Cabaye... To try Ben Arfa as a number 10 would be good. But Ben Arfa is more a right forward (not milfielder) so Cabaye number 10 and Ben Arfa right forward and Marveaux left forward (?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye although there isn't really enough between Cabaye and Marveaux in that role for Pardew to prefer Marveaux due to Cabaye offering much more defensively. Should be Anita-Cabaye-Marv when fit but Pardew needs defensive security. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 my worry would be that the "withdrawn striker" would mean a rigid 4-4-1-1 we have the capability for so much movement but it relies heavily on cabaye and ben arfa (with the squad we have at least one of them has to play for it to work). i'd be looking at.... krul back 4 with santon and debuchy pushing on tiote flexible 4 cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd be amazed if we signed three more players this window like I think we'll get a striker and about a 50/50 we get a CB. I think there's about a 50% chance of us getting a striker and a about a 25% chance of us getting a CB. Should make this a guessing competition: I'll take 98% on the striker and 2% on the centre-half... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Cabaye and Ben Arfa in a withdrawn role behind Shola when Cisse is unavailable. This is it. Our first XI would still be very good without replacing Ba. In theory Cisse up top, with HBA and Marveaux either side, with Cabaye, Tiote and Anita in the middle. Problem is, if anything happens to Cisse we're fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
