Wullie Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 .com "We are delighted to have brought Loic Remy to the club in this window and we believe he will form an exciting and effective partnership with Papiss Cisse. "Joe has worked hard on numerous targets, particularly an additional offensive player. However some of the options that were available within our financial means were not as good as the players we already had and there is no point bringing in new players unless they can improve us and take us forward. "We did the majority of our business in the January window, signing five excellent first team players. "With the strong squad we have we should all approach the season in a positive, optimistic frame of mind." Almost unique in being transfer-related comments from Alan Pardew that don't include the term "over the line", this latest release confirms that the club were never seriously chasing any targets in the last window, despite these brave words from the manager on August 23rd: "We have to make sure we get one or two transfers over the line before deadline." The sheer unadulterated flannel of this statement is even pronounced when one recalls Pardew's message to the fans after avoiding relegation at the end of last season: "We're very, very lucky to have the support that we got and therefore we owe them a debt next year to make sure that we serve up a better standard of football and better quality of results. "We showed we’ve got great players. We’ve had some performances out there which were top drawer. We know, in that (dressing) room, we’ve got 80 per cent of the team. "We still need to make sure we get two or three recruits in there which take us forward. If we can do that, they’ll grow as well, and we’ll be much, much better next year. "You hear managers taking about needing three players to make the perfect side – Arsene would probably say the same – but we genuinely, genuinely need a couple in that first team that complement the others."

Yorkie Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Supposed statement from Pardew regarding the transfer window. Clearly not him. Note the use of 'were'.

Lotus Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I love that people are still sticking up for him, as if he's on our side As others have already said, Keegan was a man who was on our side, one of us, and he didn't want to be part of taking the p*ss out of the fans. Pardew willingly signed up to talk us into continuing to hand over the cash. Bollocks to him. I don't think anyone believes that really, I certainly don't. But I do believe he would want signings in, like any manager. Can I respond to this? You don't think anyone believes what? That Pardew is on our side in the sense he wants those above out the club. This is an amazing post. Like anybody buying Newcastle United is going to keep Alan Pardew in post for a single second. Wow. Have to say Brett, fair play, you're totally entitled to you opinion. I thought before you were a (probably) young optimist. However, that statement is fanboyesque and bizarre. I have no idea how you draw your conclusions but i know you let don't let evidence cloud your wishful thinking. To be fair to Brett, I think I've misread it, thank God. Well that went well for you and Lotus, try again tomorrow lads What did i miss? Pardew wants the people above him out of the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Isn't this essentially how they got rid of Keegan? By forcing him out just after the window, by not backing him at all in the summer. It's the same stunt isn't it? Llambias probably didn't want to deal with the drama again, and so they brought Joe in as the hit man this time around.

Si Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I know it's all bullshit anyway so shouldn't be analyzed but this line annoys me: - "However, some of the options available within our financial means were not as good as the players we already had. There is no point bringing in new players unless they can improve us and take us forward." Were we looking at shit targets, or could the club, Graham , Joe and Alan not identify a single player within our budget that would have improved us? I know it's a bullshit excuse but it's such a shit one why even make it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the c***s running the club Pardew is still at the best club he is ever going to manage, they will find it a lot tougher to shift him imo. Yup, Pardew doesn't have an ounce of decency or self respect in him. He will sit there and take the money until he is sacked with his full pay off. That resignation of Llambias is a clear indicator that something isn't right somewhere, and I think it centres around Pardew. The nincompoop had a shocking season and then came out criticizing Mike Ashley, and demanding older English players. This must be Mikes revenge. To get rid without paying him a dime. Has to be. I've convinced myself of it anyway. In the meanwhile we're in limbo. This Pardew statement can otherwise be translated as: Do your worst Mike I'm not shifting.

Incognito Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The statement proves to me what we've known all along. Pardew, whose remit ,as we were told by Golfmag, was to reduce the wage bill, is a patsy. He is complicit in all of this because he's known since day one what is expected of him. Ashley is simply happy with Newcastle United being a Premiership club, as it is being used by Ashley as a corporate advertising billboard for his company. The only way we'll see investment is if, like January, Ashley is fearful for our Premiership survival. In short, he'll only invest if we're shit.
