Ash Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Caulkin should have said 'terrifyingly' rather than 'interestingly'. Imagine Bent as a #10, ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 While we're at it, let's bring back Steve Harper as a striker in case Gomis falls through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I don't remember him playing that role at Charlton at all. He'll likely want Bent in the Ba role when he was with Best, as the slightly deeper striker ghosting into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Why buy a striker who can hold the ball up and combine with another striker when you can buy one who can't and you can try and make him do it anyway?

Crayola Kid Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Is the no10 thing Pardew's way to evade direct questions about Cisse leaving? From day one of the confirmed link to Bent, the worry has been that Cisse would be leaving. Since then, the Wonga shirt thing has become serious enough for Cisse to miss the Portugal trip. He's a goner IMO, and Pards is spouting this 'clever' (in PardsWorld, obvs) story about playing both together just to avoid going public just yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Villa aren't going to drop the price, because we are in a mess thanks to the clueless twins of Pardew and Kinnear, so just bide time for Newcastle to panic before deadline day after 3 big defeats. You know, if Ashley ran Sports Direct like he's running Newcastle, with useless incompetents like K & P in managerial roles, he'd be bankrupt.

Jack Flash Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 We've handled this transfer so badly. We waited and waited for the price to drop but with Benteke staying and Cisse "leaving" the price has probably doubled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Darren Bent, a player whose general all round play is questionable and who is more famed for scoring goals rather than creating them for others, is potentially going to be signed to play in the number 10 role? What sorcery is this? Pardew been sniffing paint again? Should have kept Harper on and play him as a striker then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 We've handled this transfer so badly.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Metro ( i know i know) said we have turned to Gomis. I actually think this is a good thing, Gomis at least Pardew to play his long ball game and make it effective. Also said in the same report we also want Remy, which is also a good thing as i feel that both Gomis and Remy represent the types of strikers we lack. Target Man to hold the ball up and a pacey forward who runs and stretches defences. Although it does say also if we did get those two in then it could mean Cisse would leave. http://metro.co.uk/2013/07/21/newcastle-close-on-bafetimbi-gomis-and-loic-remy-to-raise-doubts-over-future-of-papiss-cisse-3891848/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I bet with a proper/decent target man such as Gomis playing the long ball style will look a lot better, whilst still daft and stupid, it'll at least be effective a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the game against Rio Ave but it sounded like reading bits and pieces we were more effective with Shola on the pitch So i think i agree with this, its never going to be pretty with this moron in charge but if we can get a forward to hold the ball up and bring others into play we might be more effective at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
