Dokko Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The club doesn't want to go anywhere, on the basis of that We don't really need anyone, not unless we pick up a big injury, even then we'd probably just play it out. Even a key sale we could cope with as long as it's not Krul. In: Gomis would be great but I'm not holding my breath. No chance of Remy the player himself won't commit he'll want to see what is on offer in the summer ie arsenal or Tottenham. Out: Obertan, Cisse & Marv need to be moved on permanently while we need to get Sammy out on loan. Shola can go if Gomis comes in. Decent off for Cabaye and I think we could cope playing Anita. I really can't see us signing anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think we'll get Gomis and loan a few out. That'll be it IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Pardew's comments foreshadow a transfer window with no signings or, at best, a thoroughly generous signing of Gomis that we should all be extremely grateful for. He really likes to champion last January too, whether it's claiming we spent double what we did or, this time, claiming it was really difficult. Er, we lost a game then signed five players immediately cos they were all pre-agreed for the summer. Meh. No expectations for the coming transfer window, as usual. There's no speculating regarding the intentions of the 'sign-ers' at this club. Two or three quality additions could even give us a fighting chance of getting into the CL, but we took that punt before with Cisse and it had ungodly ramifications (EL qualification), so we won't do that again. I'd be content if we got Gomis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Barely even realized it was almost January. Two or three years back I'd be counting down the days till the window open. (And then again until it "slammed shut" and we signed nobody.) Dialing down expectations helps keep you sane. Like Yorkie, I'd be content with anybody who'll push Shola out of the team. Anything else is a bonus and an extremely unlikely one at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
basjen Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think we'll get Gomis and loan a few out. That'll be it IMO. Why loan? I think we'll sign him on a pre-contract and let Shola run out his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 We need to replace Shola fucking Ameobi, who is still starting Premier League matches for us in 2013/14. I've nowt against the bloke but he's shit. Totally unacceptable situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent improvements to the squad over nobody at all thanks, see the summer when people were saying thank fuck we didn't sign this player or that player because they weren't the perfect signing. Instead we bought nobody but these people were presumably still happy as Larry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've actually bought in every January window since 2010. So does just about every club in the football league. Whoopy-do. The point is, just because we invested properly for the first time in years last January doesn't mean we'll do it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 It felt obvious to me that we didn't sign anyone in the summer because we didn't sell Cabaye (or anyone else for reasonable money). Not sure why that situation would have changed. The club have absolutely no intention of spending money for any reason other than to preserve our league status, and I'm not sure how much more they could do to make that clear to us.
