Guest bimpy474 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If Cisse is staying we don't need Bent. Assuming we get others.. Yep, if we get Gomis and Remy. I think we are aiming at 2 out of the 3. I was thinking earlier about some saying JFK is holding up this and that. I think the big mouth prat has found out it's not as easy as he thinks it is. I'm certain he can't wait to get a player signed, so he can run his mouth off about how great he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Flick ons from whom? As stupid as Pardew is, signing Bent would surely help us move away from that type of rubbish. While what you put makes sense, just think about who our manager is. Shola RW, Cisse RW, hoofball to Cisse etc. Is it so far fetched ?. I know, dude. I'm holding onto the fact that when Ba left and Gouffran/Sissoko came in we used far less hoofball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If Cisse is staying we don't need Bent. Assuming we get others.. He's just a back up plan to everything it seems. Cisse goes.... get Bent, Gomis doesn't come.... get Bent. You would think we would get back ups which are similar to the primary target, but alas not.

I have to admit i do think Pardew is going to give keeping the ball and playing better a go, my worry would be if we lose a few games he'll return to percentage stuff.

Well we can only hope he eases off on the "keeping it tight, nick a goal stuff". Against some teams that is more than warranted, but against strugglers and weaker teams at home, it's mental. If he does ease off then we should see better football with the players expressing themselves much more. I hope anyhoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you are putting the responsibility for lack of movement at the players feet. I would say that Sissoko and Gouffran demonstrated lots of movement when they first arrived and then this faded out the longer they spent here trying to fit into Pardew's defensive formation.

Varadi Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm pretty much 50/50 between 'let's just get him and end the transfer hoodoo' and my other overwhelming urge of 'he's fucking shit + unsuited please god no' I agree there are some concerns about whether he's the type of player we need, but Darren Bent is certainly not "fucking shit" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as you can guarantee anything, he will score. Buying from France doesn't mean they'll score in the prem. Bent WILL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be a team set up to play to his strengths, that's definitely true, but some of the stick he's getting on here is getting a bit daft. He's not "fucking shit" at all. He might be a poor signing and not suit the way you play, that's true enough (and that's why we're selling him, too), but that doesn't make him shit at all.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The style of play and suitability, along with if he wants guaranteed starts, is my worry. As a player for the price mooted he's a decent buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term signing that doesn't give me any hope for the football we'll play this coming season but that's more a reflection upon AP than him.

midds Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Not exactly thrilled by the thought of signing Bent atm. Don't think he's a particularly good footballer but can finish chances if they're provided for him. However, the thought of Cisse getting a bad injury early in the season is horrific. We need strikers/forwards and he'd be a better option than Shola to bring off the bench if we're chasing a game/goal. Bent and Cisse certainly couldn't play in the same team though. Those 2 as the spearhead of a 4-4-2 is just ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Fulham would be the better team for Bent... We don't do service to forwards as Cisse is finding out... I agree. I'm not really sure why he's even keen on us tbh, unless that was because he thought the Fulham option had gone. But if it's because he wants to play for a bigger club then fair play to him. I still think with Cisse here he's not the right striker for us, but will do a good job for someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
