Deuce Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/9305592/transfer-news-remy-cabella-boost-for-newcastle-united Apologies if Giggs but not seen this anywhere on here.. What's the point? He'd be played out of position, misused, blamed for being French, etc. Imagine the re-sale value if we get him for cheap and he plays well for a year, though.

Guest bimpy474 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Great, a player unsuited to 4-4-2 as a CM, no doubt that'll be Pardew's plan on how to use him. Funny how we seem to buy players suited to 4-3-3 style formations and then Pardew refuses to use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how we seem to buy players suited to 4-3-3 style formations and then Pardew refuses to use it. He'll play in the hole off the big man if we buy him. 4-4-1-1. Too flaky to hold the full backs hand in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Tbf he's happy playing 3 centre mids. The problem is he refuses to play with proper wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of having a great scout if you're going let a League One manager, manage and choose defensive runners and jumpers. Can see Carr walking away.

Then do that for every outfield position, it's just so depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Wouldn't call Carr a great scout, like. Doesn't take a genius to offer average players better money. Well he's recommended some good players which we haven't bid enough for or just fucked about, Aubameyang, Grenier, Cabella, MYM (will be good if he gets away from Pardew), Cabaye, and god knows who else we haven't heard about. Whether he's great or not, what's the point of even employing him if we're not going to buy anyone, and/or let Pardew choose utter shite because they might suit his shite football better. Rather than choose shite, get a good manager in who plays good football and buy the players Carr recommendeds. Pipe dream as it needs a shift from Jabba, which isn't going to happen.

Everyone on here with a hint of footballing knowledge knew who Yohan Cabaye was when we signed him, man. As if you could attribute that signing to good scouting.

Ronaldo Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Doesn't the club employ a group of people who investigate and suggest players based on their contractual vulnerability? Either way I wouldn't call it scouting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you call it then? http://m.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/super-scout-graham-carr-lifts-lid-on-newcastle-united-s-transfer-process-1-4412399 Not sure, but signing Cabaye based on the fact he was available for £4m isn't the product of good scouting. Everyone could've told you that a highly rated 25-year-old France international available for that price was a must sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
