Stifler Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Help who? None of that lot are creators, with or without movement. Sissoko and Anita have great passes on them in my opinion. However our proper creators and those who create movement are Remy and Ben Arfa, one gets a fair crack of the whip, the other might as well stay at home with the chances he gets.

Dave Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Notice he mentioned the loss of Cabaye as well. Once again proving that those in charge of the club are utterly clueless when it comes to the importance of morale and the huge knock-on effects of selling our key players at vital times.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 We need to keep him or we're fucked for goals next season.

Dave Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Seriously though, I know ambition is nil, previous transfer windows have been wank and all that but we simply HAVE to make several first team signings this summer or we'll be in really deep shit next season. Pardew's not even close to good enough to manage without it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Ney chance he signs for us permanent is there?

I know this is controversial and some might not like to hear it, but if we'd shown some ambition to build on a decent first half of the season then the likes of Remy might well be more interested in staying for next season.

Cajun Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 If we have arranged a fee already he will sign, if not we probably wont but despite how prolific he has been I am not sure a top side will pick him up. Look at the strikers top clubs have spent big money on yet Ba scored a fuck load of goals for us as a centre forward, was signed for around £7m yet has hardly started a game for Chelsea.

Rocket science! Don't be daft. You haven't even considered science there. Edit: Ah shit, you considered rocket science, fair do's. Nah, you're right - any player that believes in their own talent wants to feel like they're at a club that is going places. Now we've made it explicitly clear that we're happy to plod along we will encounter this problem more and more. Imagine being a player and hearing your manager saying "Thank God we're not in Europe".

Yorkie Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Bit depressing when your best attacker doesn't belong to the club and it looks iffy whether he ever will. I know this is controversial and some might not like to hear it, but if we'd shown some ambition to build on a decent first half of the season then the likes of Remy might well be more interested in staying for next season. Rocket science! Yep, I completely believe that. I've said it about a million times now, but with the way this season was set up (and subsequently played out), it represented an absolutely massive opportunity for three particular teams to pull up some trees. Us, Spurs and Everton. Two of them have attempted to do that and could still do something very decent this year (although the top 4 do appear to have pulled away now, admittedly). We haven't attempted to do anything and we've faltered to an immovable mid-table position. Doesn't stretch as far as this league campaign either. The FA Cup draw has fallen really well for lower teams, with many of the better sides having to face each other. It's as winnable as it's ever been this year. Then there's next season. The opportunity in January that we missed was also huge with regards to long-term structure. We were on great form up to Christmas, had a terrific foundation of points... if we'd strengthened, we'd have made a go of the top 6, possibly given Cabaye something to consider, had more of a chance of keeping Remy, and put the squad in a great position for the next campaign - with two or three quality additions already integrated before August. This whole season has been one long massive opportunity and we haven't been remotely bothered. There is one target and that is to survive. Anything else means absolutely fuck all apart from one other bullet point: avoid EL at all costs. Meh. Don't know why I bothered even typing that. The board don't care about actual football so nothing exciting was ever going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Help who? None of that lot are creators, with or without movement. Movement is creation in the hands of the right manager. Our movement is usually erratic and into the wrong spaces, i.e, cutting inside instead of getting beyond the full backs or getting Ben Arfa to track back rather than attack their bastard defenders.

Big Geordie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I would love to see Remy sign permanently, but it's not gonna happen. He wants (and will get probably) CL football and we won't stump up what's required anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
