Gallowgate Toon Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Some good work but so much more needs doing. Also, absolutely pointless bringing in a bunch of players at once, why not just build incrementally rather than not spending a penny for 18 months? Dicks.

merlin Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Reasonable so far, but unfinished - we need a proven striker and a decent RB, from what I've seen Janmaat is worth buying at his age. We also need a proven CB to replace Colo OR Williamson(he's never going to be a top performer in the PL). We will probably get the RB, but not convinced about the others.....

Dan Gleebals Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Got absolutely nothing to base this on given the facts, but have a feeling we might spend big (by our standards) on a striker this summer. If Ashley/Pardew want to curb the unrest on the terraces, they need to! Not that it will make any difference to Pardew and his management credentials.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 As usual I think I'm slightly pleased because my expectations were so low. If we get Janmaat as well then it's miles ahead of what I thought we'd do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 After Janmaat signs, we desperately need a quality centre-half, two strikers and a young back up right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Enners Valencia is signing for West Ham. I know the fee is £12m but his international record, and what I saw in the WC suggests he's going to get them goals. That's one area where penny pinching might come back to bite us on the arse.

Lotus Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 We'll need commanding CB to have anything resembling a decent season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 No chance we'll sign a CB. Although I did think that about a RB and a CAM as well, so we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Are there any 'proven' strikers available for the paltry sums we are likely to spend? Remy, but there again i find it highly unlikely a CL club doesn't come in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which seems unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Transfer flurries like this don't half take the absolute piss out of Pardew's "the transfer window is really hard " bullshit. Know little about the players we've signed but we're on track to doing the bare minimum required: replacing players lost. Cabella might even be an upgrade on Cabaye?

Know little about the players we've signed but we're on track to doing the bare minimum required: replacing players lost. Cabella might even be an upgrade on Cabaye? Different players in all honesty. Cabaye could do a job much deeper which I don't think Cabella is capable of. Also cabaye has made the step Cabella is hoping to make already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm quite happy with the players coming in and sky have avoided us with the exception of the obvious man city game, so pardew should have a quiet start to the season but I still can't shake off my hatred for his arrogance and I just know the first game we win it will be all down to him and his tactics/signings and we should all be grateful to him.

nufc4eva Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 The fact we have actually upped our offers to get the players we want this time is encouraging as is the securing a replacement before allowing Debuchy to go. Appears a slight change in strategy, whether that is down to Charnley or they have something horrific round the corner fuck knows. In ideal world we wouldn't be getting rid of Debuchy but he may have been pushing and 12 million is decent for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 It doesn't take a lot to get it right, but it's easy to get it wrong when the likes of jfk are involved. Charnley seems like a sensible bloke, not nasty like lambias not vindictive like Ashley, so maybe, finally, we've got someone happy to work within the club restraints but also someone Ashley trusts to make footballing decisions, who can also make the right calls at the tight time. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Still need a RB, CB (if MYM leaves) and 2 strikers for it to be considered a good window. Bring in Jaanmaat, Remy and Revierre and I'll be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexthegreat Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 the squad had the look of relegation certainties a week ago. This completed business (along with the reported intent to add a few more faces) shows we are serious with our stated aim of finishing in the top 10 every year and getting all the players on the cheap from France and Holland. I'm still looking forward to seeing new players though - signing exciting attackers hasnt happened much under Ashley. Jonas, BenArfa, and Cisse are the only forward players I can think of whose arrival caused any excitement. Ba slipped under the radar a bit iirc. I suppose you could say Xisco. Loan deals for Remy and DeJong shouldn't count for a club our size. It's really not been much to go on over the last 7 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
