huss9 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 even if remy had the slightest inclination of staying, I think pardew's talked him out of it. Ashley wins again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It's all about managing the fans and their expectations with Pardew and always has been. He'll mention the fact we probably won't sign him permanently in the summer more and more so the fans get used to the idea and by the time his loan expires the fan's expectations of seeing Remy next year will be zero and will therefore cause no upset/unrest. He's very quick to tell us what we, as a club, can't do. We can't sign top players, we can't pay big wages, we can't compete, we can't compete in Europe, we can't handle 2 games a week and we can't break into that top 7. The fan-base has heard so much negativity that it's become numb and de-sensitised to ambition. Some have been convinced that all of the s*** that spews from all sources within the club that mediocrity is actually success. Not investing, under the guise of financial prudence, is something to be applauded. Stagnation is spun as 'stability', fan's apathy is actively encouraged and any/all ambition is to be crushed. Losing out on Remy is inevitable, they won't even f***ing bother. They've got no intention of signing him and if Remy has an ounce of sense he'll not even consider the prospect. Bang on that.

Like Ba we needed him to do well, but not this well in order to keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shush Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 We are completely fucked when this guy leaves. We have no chance of signing him, he's too good and everyone knows he is good enough to be in a top 4 side. He will end up at Arsenal, maybe even Liverpool. Fuck knows what we will look like next season without him, the chance of getting in a comparable ability in player with pace and goals is massively unlikely.

Kanj Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Always extremes with this club - we're either good or we're shit. We either have a perfect set piece taker or we have nobody. It's bloody ridiculous. Soon or later, Ryan Taylor will be subbed on late in matches for his free kick ability, won't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we're crying out for a set piece taker like. Some practice drills and input from inventive coaches would probably help. Allardyce is a football dinosaur, but his set pieces were usually well thought out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Why are our left backs taking set pieces? They can't even cross the ball properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Remy would be an even better player if he picked his head when he was in or around the box. Sometimes we have better options on than him just shooting into the legs of a defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 In all seriousness though, he's a striker, sometimes he's going to shoot instead of pass. The best forwards in the world do it too, it's just nitpicking at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
