Nobody Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Does this mean we give up on Cabella? they seem to be very similar. It absolutely does IMO. We've gone for the cheap option instead of who would be the best for our team. Not surprising but an absolute fucking disgrace considering how much money we've got in the bank.

Guest ManDoon Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It might not be the best place to ask it, but I was wondering this morning about if our wildest dreams came true and Pardew was sacked and we by some chance got a half decent manager, Ashley would then stop signing decent players. Is Ashley buying good players as Pardew Offsetting, basically. There is definitely an element of that. Take the January where we bought a few was purely as Pardew had us struggling so we had to buy them. Same this season, he will have given Ashley a load of excuses about needing players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm sure the forum will get round to the discussion of Cabella vs De Jong, but the reality is we were only interested in the cheaper one. Glad we've replaced Cabaye, but Pardews shit team set ups and reactionary tactics are here to stay for the foreseeable unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who claims that they foresaw potential relegation after finishing fifth and having little turnover is revising history also. Fwiw, I genuinely believe we would have brought Debuchy anyway and targeted the other players purchased in that window over the next summer----when they were cheaper.

Yeah, however, I think I'm more comfortable with Siem, because he is a bit more gritty, and so it is extremely unlikely he's going to be left out of the team, or faffed about with, due to Pardew thinking he isn't hard enough.

Yorkie Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Has there been any semblance of a fee whispered around? Apologies if Giggs. From what I've read, he's obviously the sort of signing we ought to be making. A couple more attackers should see that we don't get relegated.

Willow Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 £6m is a great fee tbh. They need to keep this up though and get another 4-5 in quick, but we all know that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Does this mean we give up on Cabella? they seem to be very similar. Media don't seem to think so, more that we have given up on Grenier. It worries me greatly that now we have signed De Jong, the club see Cabella as a Ben Arfa replacement. Ridiculous as that is but the clubs actions under Ashley has wired me to think that way.
