NewJerseyMag Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 This smacks of "We tried really hard but oh dear no luck never mind". That´s just flawed logic. So in the unfortunate event that he actually would like to join us, Ashley would then try to sabotage the deal in some other way just to make it look like we tried? I didnt say Ashley would sabotage it. When we mean to actually sign someone there generally isnt much news before hand. Therefore I belive this to be a PR stunt much like the bid for Wayne Rooney.

toontownman Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 To be fair we needed another striker in regardless of ba leaving. The days of having three or four quality strikers are firmly behind us. We can certainly make it to the summer with one more incoming striker, if we are lucky. But clearly need at least one more. Hopefully we can finally shift shola, xisco and ranger although it wouldn't surprise me to see any of them leading our line next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 We got Debuchy after Ba left so his fee was largely covered by Demba's departure. Maybe they're waiting to see if another player can be sold to cover the Remy fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It's little short of a disgrace that no-one has been lined up to replace Ba, who the club must have known was going for some time. It's gonna be another case of smoke and mirrors until the end of the window, which will ultimately end in disappointment with the club saying 'we tried, but couldn't get anyone over the line'. Same old rubbish from Ashley and Pardew. No planning to life after ba (our best/most important player), which they must known for some time was leaving. Just silly. At least a third choice striker should have been lined up as we need more than 1 striker anyway, in an ideal world. If cisse gets injured we will for sure go down. We have no other Atm who can do the job....shola forget it. He should get 5-10 minutes end of game if needed....tops! To learn after a week into the window that remy isn't interested is odd. What about that cb we have missed for so long.... The last many windows I go into the window believing and with confidence that Ashley will spend the money because it is so obviously what we have needed everytime. I know we do business out of the blue....but im not happy about this. We need a quality cb + striker/winger this window....and im sure it isnt easy to attract the Best when they see our style of play and League position. With the momentum we had in the summer we could have made a different...we could have secured our position in top 6 if we had signed debuchy, quality cb + striker/winger. Many would have come and it is easier to adjust and sell in the winter than being in desperat need of quality we wont pay for. Ashleys own strategy is becoming his worst enemy.

ExiledGeordie Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Why moan about being kept waiting til the end of January? You know that's exactly how this window will work and it's nobody's fault That may be true but we're simply not in a position to be be left high and dry come the end of the window. I appreciate that deals like this aren't done overnight but we can't afford to wait until the 11th hour to get a player because if that fails and we get nobody we're truly up s*** creek. Can you imagine a situation where we're playing the 2nd half of the season with all the pressure on Cisse to score the goals and more to the point stay fit with only bloody Shola as backup. God forbid if that happens............. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Agree. Despite hte fact we need at the very least 2 players. I expect we will get no one. Then Pardew will peddle the excuses for the board come Februrary 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
