Skeletor Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 @robertsdanny: @MsiDouglas do you believe #nufc are in advanced talks with Remy? @MsiDouglas: @robertsdanny As I said in tweet, it's January so nothing is certain. I know they like (and have liked) Remy for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 He looks to have good movement, and is versatile in being good in the air and on the ground. Only worry is that he looks almost 100% right footed, and I was hoping we would go for someone to play on the left of a 433. Still, will definitely strengthen the squad. Balance on the wings. Doesn't one of the Ayews play on their left? Great player, by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 We need another striker anyway I suppose, as long as it's not at the expense of other positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 To be frank, signing somebody like Remy pretty much means one of your current two (I imagine Ba) is leaving. You don't sign somebody of his stature for a rotation role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think a player being right-footed would stop Pardew playing him on the left I think it's really important we get someone on the right actually. We've missed attacking balance for what feels like (and maybe is) years. Enrique, Gutierrez (of old), Santon have done well for us down the left recently. On the right, HBA has been doing a solo act - but isn't an out and out wideman - especially with his tendency to cut inside on his left. Obertan is rubbish in the Premiership and Barton couldn't exactly maraud. Then there's Simpson. Despite his creditable efforts recently, he isn't the cutting edge we need. Maybe Remy will allow HBA to go to the left/centre of a front 3/4. 4-3-3: Cabaye Tiote Anita Remy Ba/Cisse HBA 4-2-3-1: Anita Tiote Remy HBA Cabaye Ba/Cisse Although both of those would require movement and a style of play we seem light years away from discovering!

Incognito Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 People never learn. We've been down this road with this board many times before and ended up a fruitless chase . Someone usually moves the goalposts or it is all bollocks in the first place. And then we get the "we did all we could to get these deals over the line " rhetoric. Don't hold your breath folks.

You don't sign somebody of his stature for a rotation role. I'm quite amazed at how indifferent I'd be to Ba's departure. Such a wonderful talented player who's goalscoring record speaks for itself but I do wonder whether he is part of the reason we aren't functioning as well as we should. I'd still rather keep him mind..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I think we're forgetting that Ba can play football as well, but Pardew still has us lump it up to him (tbf, this has stopped a bit since we've went 433) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right in a way - but posting possible formations isn't an OTT reaction, it's just hope/debate. Fans need hope - especially Newcastle fans. Also, that last sentence is very bad science.

Well it seems a bit idiotic to criticise something that hasn't happened. Also, we all know that most quotes and rumours about transfers end up being wrong. I doubt Pardew is going to reveal exact transfer deals to the Chronicle. I'm saying we're going to sign 'enough' players, we probably won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Pardew's just trying to lower expectations like he always does. Then if we buy more than one player he can then take to the press about how amazing Mike was at backing him in his time of need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 We can get Barton to put in a good word for us. Oh and then Amalfatino's brother will be saying that his brother has told him it's a shit club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
