SteveMc Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The potential saving grace we have is that the manager has very little input here. So recruitment will hopefully happen and if/ when Pardew is sacked the new guy will not be looking to start all over in terms of personnel . With that said I'm still happy for us to sign good players. Those who aren't are going a step too far imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 There's no way Pardew would want Siem, He'd definitely have a Mark Noble if it was his choice, i suppose it's a good thing (if Pardew goes), we're still trying to sign decent footballers rather than workhorse shit fuckbrain would want.

However, Liverpool are understood to be leading the chase, which also includes Napoli, for the 23-year-old Ghanian international. Udinese value Badu, who has three goals this season, in the region of £7million. Another defensive midfielder? We need goal scorers and creators!

Center forward (x2), attacking midfielder, central midfielder, winger, center back (x2), and probably fullback are far higher on the list of needs than DM.

Not scoring goals is holding the team back. Hardly anyone in our squad scores goals. I said 'high priority' not 'higher priority'. We certainly need changes in the strikeforce, but we also need a better player than Tiote in that anchor position. No reason why we can't do both. I don't think Anita is strong enough for that particular position, not for the Premiership anyway. He may well improve though with a better player than Tiote around him. The anchorman does see a lot of the ball, and if they can't pass well that can really disrupt the fluency of a side, particularly on the counter attack. That's my reasoning.

Quite right, but none of it means a thing while Pardew plays formations that cut out any kind of attacking impetus. So when you say counter attack, in our case that means counter.........meh.

Yorkie Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Next season's squad is going to be as unbalanced as it's ever been. We'll either not sign/replace enough, or cherry-pick players that do us no good in a long-term system/philosophy, as if Pardew's got one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 My only positive looking toward next season is we'll actually need to actually sign someone so may well do, regardless if they're good or not. That home game against West Ham with no new players is easily the most depressing I've ever attended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
