Interpolic Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It always looked a foolishly shortsighted decision to leave us for Palace, and so it is proving. When you've spent your entire career on Spurs bench or at crap clubs on loan then you might want to stick with it when you're finally on a roll at a decent club.

U2 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 We will be in a position to sign someone better than him next summer. You'd expect he fancied himself to play ahead of Zaha on the right. He probably saw himself as an England international, was a big money signing for his new manager and had performed brilliantly the previous year. Didn't work out though, for whatever reason. Oh wait, I know. Pardew signed a right winger - who made it quite clear that is his favourite position - and fancied himself strong enough to convert him to play on the left.

geordie_b Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Has there been a recent (last 20 years) player that had left us and went on to better things? Hamman is the only one I could think of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Glad it's backfired on him and wouldn't go near him if we get promoted. Hopefully he goes the other way with twatcunt himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 We will be in a position to sign someone better than him next summer. This is where I stand as well. He was a lot better than I thought when we signed him tbh, but there'll be better out there, and I would rather have someone who really understands what it means to be here.

afar Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I would take him back in a heartbeat, but we would have the same issue as he has right now, we've got a Ritchie playing in the same position. What we really need is someone who actually wants to play on the left, Atsu and Aarons (if he can get and stay fit) are ideal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
