NUFC_Chris Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Think we must have one or two going out if this is true. Personally think it's just daft rumours though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Surely if Pardew was going to be a Star Wars character he'd be Boba Frett? :lol: Nah Bubba Fett always goes on the offensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Don't think we need him tbh. Was under the impression that Grenier plays as an advanced playmaker and I think we'd struggle to accommodate him and De Jong in the same side. Would much rather we focussed our attentions on a striker and a centre back first. Isn't De Jong more of a second striker than a playmaker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Think we must have one or two going out if this is true. Personally think it's just daft rumours though. Not sure how we'd fit Tiote, Anita, Colback, Cabella, Sissoko, Gouffran and Grenier all into the same midfield over just 40 matches. Far too many purples there.

Kanj Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Change out our CBs and LBs (and tactics) and you could easily play a disciplined formation with Sissoko & Grenier in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'm holding onto the hope that Pardew will eventually remember that Sissoko is a CM. It's all I've got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2014/newcastle-had-clement-grenier-offer-rebuffed-several-weeks-ago/ Get French Football News understands that Newcastle United made an offer for Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier during the World Cup, only to have it rebuffed. The sum offered was judged to be insufficient by Lyon, but the player was also not keen to join the Magpies, having solicited interest and a bid from Arsenal for his services last summer. The player has every intention of leaving the club this summer, but for a team that can offer continental football, preferably in Spain, Italy or England. What a sensible lad.

Would much rather we focussed our attentions on a striker and a centre back first. Yeah but we do though. The only creative player in the current starting eleven is Cabella and whose gonna get him the ball with regularity? Currently right now the deeper midfielders are Colback, Tiote, Sissoko and Anita. I can't be the only one who see's the problem with that? The ball is just gonna stick in the middle of the pitch and what tiny creative talent we have will just get isolated.

We need someone like Clement or a central-based creative player to fill the hole that Cabaye left badly. It's not just creativity, its ball possession, intelligence, free kick specialist, etc. We may have spread some of the Cabaye goals between Cabella and De Jong but they aren't going to keep us ticking in the areas Cabaye did.

toontownman Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Well if it turns out he ends up elsewhere I am putting the blame firmly on Yohan. Clearly hasn't tried hard enough to convince him to come to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
