Ikon Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 There's always a chance that MYM will come good as a centre back, in the same way that Colo recovered from a bad first season in English football. But Colo's learning curve played some part in our relegation, and I don't think we can afford to wait for MYM to come good. He's never looked particularly confident or imposing, which obviously is vital in a CB. Time to cut our losses. I'm sure he'd come good. He has already shown promise there before he was dropped when Colo was back, unfair like! The cunt in charge refuses to play him. Would like to see a big commanding CB come in to partner him, would be class. I rate Colo as well but against "some" teams we need more power back there.

Ikon Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Personally I can't understand how anyone would be anything other than bloody outraged if we sold Yanga-Mbiwa. It would be infuriating in so many ways, not least because he's a good player. Aye, it's criminal. Feels like he has wasted way too much time coming here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 We need 2 strikers, a left and rightback and a CB and another wingforward maybe. that's 5/6 players on top of Cabella. Like f*** it'll happen like, but it should!! I dont agree on the left back, but we definately need 2 strikers, a right back, a CB and someone like Payet. Don't think Santon or Haidara are good enough. Haidara has potential though. Good backup players. I agree, but its not a priority position.

Yorkie Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It would make me think of the fucking trollops at CB that we've given much more time to down the years (some of whom actually in MYM's place). I'm talking the likes of, yes, Taylor and Williamson, but also going further back than that - from the depressing list of people like Bramble, Ramage, Cacapa, Rozehnal - wank defenders that have conned wages and appearances out of us. Mapou was a rare signing in the sense that he came with pedigree, potential and genuine talent... to be shipped out 18 months in? Give me strength. I'd say he's more worthy of a place at the club than Colo now as well, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Cacapa was brilliant against Portsmouth, was it? (No, what team was it against when he got subbed at half time if not even earlier.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Aye Pompey. Obviously, Cacapa didn't play much for us, ultimately, but when you think of the multitude of shit CBs we've had down the years, it would be so galling to lose one who might actually be class.

Ikon Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Indeed! Apart from Woodgate and Colo and MYM/bramble (at least potentially) we haven't exactly signed quality in these positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I suspect that MYM wants to go, which of course is another consideration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Remember Boumsong for 8 million, when rangers picked him up on a free that summer. And we flogged a steady preformer in ahughes for 1 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 That was his market value at the time though. Remember him being linked with Liverpool at the same time as Djibril Cisse from Auxerre. He was highly-rated, a full international and had impressed in 4 months at Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I suspect that MYM wants to go, which of course is another consideration. Well that just sums it up, doesn't it? The club has every capability of being a shit-ton better than it is, but it consciously isn't. The likes of him, Debuchy and Yanga-Mbiwa might not be gagging to leave if we didn't have a terrible manager working under the instruction of withholding the club's potential.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Think it's a bit naive to think Debuchy & Mbiwa came for any other reason than to use us as a stepping stone tbf. It's worked for Cabaye & Debuchy, but let's face it, even if things had went well the last 18 months he'd have been thinking of a move to Arsenal/Man Utd/Monaco or whoever in the same way this summer.

Yorkie Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I still think, amidst the post-Fergie league shake up, the club has had the infrastructure and context surrounding it to build something that would make these players want to stay and fight for something. For more than a season or two, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Would be one of many decisions over the past few years that reiterates what a terribly run club we are. No point in investing emotion into it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Another inevitability. What a waste not letting him fulfill his potential here and cutting him off. Hope he does well to prove what a huge mistake we've made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Three CB's left. two who are far from good enough and Colo who is in decline, utter fucking joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 He's a poor athlete getting worse by the week up against super athletes. Not to mention his horrible deficiencies as a captain. Time for MYM to be thrown in with a real solid leader I'm looking forward to Colo showing up idiots like you next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 All the signings in the world are f*cking pointless when we keep selling our best players and keeping the garbage. MYM and Williamson was by far our best partnership last year, but instead of keeping them together Pardew splits them the first chance he gets. Just f*ck off, no point caring about signings when the defense will continue to be utterly garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just f*ck off, no point caring about signings when the defense will continue to be utterly garbage. Isn't it 127 goals conceded in 2 seasons with mullerings galore. Hope they have a CB lined up but I guess we can only choose those that are either free or are in the last year of their contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Even if they have a CB lined up it makes no difference. Colo is passed it, Williamson is limited and Taylor is garbage. We'd need two CBs of quality and like f*ck that's happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 For us to get two centre-backs we'd sell another one of the three remaining. Can't think of many clubs with 5 senior centre-backs in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
