Mick Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 When everyone's fit, I imagine it'll still be Tiote, Anita, Sissoko, HBA, Gouffran, Remy. Is that not top 8 quality to you? f*** it, we're only 5 behind Everton man, their main striker is f***ed, they have to come to St James'...why not finish higher still? Have some belief even if the club don't man. We're good enough. We'll go 4-4-2 at the first opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We'll finish 8th, comfortably adrift of 7th and 9th. Our own shitty unambitious little island. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What's so funny? He wasn't in the side, Cabaye leaves, he's now in the side. He'll not be playing long, who do you think will drop out for de Jong? When everyone's fit, I imagine it'll still be Tiote, Anita, Sissoko, HBA, Gouffran, Remy. Is that not top 8 quality to you? Fuck it, we're only 5 behind Everton man, their main striker is fucked, they have to come to St James'...why not finish higher still? Have some belief even if the club don't man. We're good enough. Who's scoring the goals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's goals in this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 De Jong = Cisse - woefully lacking confidence, playing minutes.. except at least Cisse has had time to adapt to the league and has scored goals here. De Jong is a complete gamble. Given our previous form coaching players with confidence issues I don't see him staying on past May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 By the same token, we needed a striker and have one. We've lost the player who makes us tick and we've loaned a player who hasn't started a game in almost a year. We've also effectively gained Ben Arfa though by default. Even Joe Kinnear wouldn't try and claim that. I don't think the club are particularly bothered about top 6-7 to get us into Europe but I still see no reason we can't get there. There's still enough about us to do it. Tiote, Sissoko, Anita, Ben Arfa, Gouffran, Remy, De Jong. There's still 7 very good players in those positions. Can you fucking imagine their reaction if we stumbled into the Europa places? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 De Jong is probably gonna be massively shite. He will probably struggle at first but it would be nice to think he won't get the typical game and a half before he is labled as shite and we have decided he isn't good enough.

duo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 By the way how can people continue to believe we want to be in Europe when we're two wins from 5th and yet are so obviously content to tread water to the end of the season after having sold our best performer without a replacement? Any sort of modest investment would give us a better shout. The only thing to ensure we don't do better than where we are at the moment is what we've done. Agreed. If we kept Cabaye and just add a couple of player we could have been in with a shout of even 4th. Someone was on Talksport the other day saying this season is more important that ever to get into the Champions League due to the money now for those in the competition. He said you are talking a generation gap between those who qualify and those who don't. Very much feel it's a missed opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
