Sorry I'm just not used to a run of posts about potential line ups without a post stating "yeah but knowing Pardew he will start Jonas/Williamson/Shola/Krul up front etc..."  O0

Alan Pardew faces former club Southampton on Sunday confident the team have filled the gap created when Demba Ba moved to Chelsea.

 

According to the Newcastle manager, it was a case of 'who needs Ba when we've got Moussa Sissoko'.

 

'The key point is that I've always wanted a No 10 here. I've always felt we lacked what I would call a natural, modern-day No 10,' he declared.

 

'Moussa has given us that since joining us from Toulouse. Whereas Demba was an out-and-out striker with Papiss [Cisse] and it didn't quite work, I think the fans are excited that it looks like Moussa and Papiss, or Moussa and Shola [Ameobi], work well.

 

'Moussa has added to us. I was desperate to bring him to this club - it was a no-brainer for me. He hasn't proved me wrong - and I don't think he will. I don't think this is just a great start. I think he's a top player and he'll take that forward for the rest of his career here hopefully.'

Don't see him as a number 10 myself.

 

Why not? He's been fantastic there.

 

I think he'd be more involved in the game if he was deployed further back, in more of a 'box-to-box' role, where his physical qualities would be better utilised and he would still have license to make marauding runs forward. With the way we seem to play, I think he might often find himself isolated just behind the striker.

 

Agree he's looked very good so far.

"Moussa and Shola [Ameobi], work well."

Saw that too, just didn´t want to be the first to comment on it :)

 

This is what a mean about some of the hypocrisy about the stick he got over the Williamson quotes. :lol:
