Nobody Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 How about we play our best right winger out there, with Sissoko and Anita at cm? Problem fucking solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
powellnufc Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sissoko just doesn't have the vision or passing ability to suit the attacking midfield role, De Jong would be much more effective there. Ideally Ben Arfa would replace Gouffran out wide, but that's not likely to happen unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Isn't one of the good things at the moment that our players tend to swap positions? Reckon De Jong will be swapping with Cabella who'll be outside more in place of the Gouff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sissoko's better on the wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have no problem with Sissoko on the wing to accommodate De Jong in the middle. Pretty sure he had the highest number of assists and chances created for us last season, he's powerful and can use that to beat his man and is capable of putting in a good cross as he proved last year by setting up a few of our goals. He also has a good engine and will track back which is obviously a necessity for Pardew. I would rather see HBA there like most people but realistically that's clearly not gonna happen.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I would prefer Gouffran out for De Jong. Keep Anita in, I like my little technical players. Think both will be out when both De Jong and Tiote are fit, not what I'd do but reckon it is what Pardew will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've got the feeling this bloke is just going to be a class act for us on & off the pitch for the next few years. Really excited to see him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I'm not so sure with De Jong. Can see it with Cabella but don't think De Jong is the profile of player the top 5-6 would go for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I'm not so sure with De Jong. Can see it with Cabella but don't think De Jong is the profile of player the top 5-6 would go for. He's got a good record of playing blinders against them though. He's a top player IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 No pressure Siem, but if you turn out to be anything but the new Messi we are royally fucked. No defence, no strikers who can score, and fucklips for a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why is that at all relevant ? Because I can see De Jong being here in 2-3 years even if he's doing well, I doubt that'd be the case with Cabella.

He's not on that level from what I've seen but he looks good enough to do a good job in our side. Only saw him in the 20 minutes or so before he went off injured in New Zealand but you could already see he looked a cut above the rest of our players. Main worry is that it looks like he might be a bit injury prone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Meant to put in this thread this morning I had a dream last night that AP left this guy on the bench and went with an unchanged lineup today...

I really need to be having better dreams! The infinite possibilities of the human mind, the unrestricted freedom of a fantasy world free of the constraints of reality and you're not on a yacht with Cheryl Cole, you're looking at Alan Pardew's teamsheet.
