ExiledGeordie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The signing of Mbiwa is massive. The combination of him coming into the fold to add steel, Cabaye playing regularly again and getting HBA back into action could be the deciding factors in staying up. Sissoko coming in would just be one hell of an extra bonus. We're still in the shit but atleast the squad has had a much needed lift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I think this is probably the best we could have done this window, I wonder if we'd have got all these other players had we got Remy, I'm happier with these lot than I would have been just Remy, we've pretty much strengthend every weak position in the squad. If we get Sissoko, Gouffran and Haidaira, we basically upgraded half of our first team.

Beren Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The dickhead in charge's attacking strategy is actually to hit balls at the opposition defence and a) hope there is a defensive spillage b) hope Ba/Cisse can finish from any spillage. THAT IS THE FULL EXTENT OF OUR ATTACKING PLAY. It's been the same with Cabaye, HBA and Colo in the team at different points this season. I'm at a non-sarcastic 9, because I don't think we'll get rid of Pardew until very late in the day. Right, I'm at 10. Keeping Colo + new signings, I'll go to 8/9.

loki679 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't think you can underestimate the effect these new signings will have on the morale of the squad. We're bringing in some real quality and the players will look at that and feel we're moving forward with some ambition. I'm sure they'll get a big boost from this window and hopefully that will be reflected in our performances. Still fearful but i'm back down to an 8 now.

Decky Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Sticking with 9 until I see us play again. Nothing has changed really, we have signed good players granted, but we already have a set of very good players and look where we are. Pardew has cost us points time and time again, my view will only change if I see an improvement from Pardew over the coming fixtures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of this board if you lose at Villa, are terrible and pick up a couple of injuries on the way. There will be actual blood. Can't see it. I reckoned you'd win this game even before all the signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Moving from a nervous 9 to a paltry 6. We're still in the shit right up to our necks. Aye, we've bought some good players but we need results immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 6. With the players we've signed and Taylor and HBA still to come back into the side I think we can be confident of being much better away from home and giving even the really good sides a real test at home once confidence improves a bit.

Yorkie Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 At first i was this: It remains a possibility but my gut instinct is we'll stutter to 14th, about 5 points above the dropzone. Fortunately i think we're better than the real shit in the league. Can't see how QPR and Reading are going to get out of it. After Reading I was this: If you can't get a point at home to Reading, you've got to concede that the writing really could be on the wall. Now I'm probably back to this: It remains a possibility but my gut instinct is we'll stutter to 14th, about 5 points above the dropzone. Fortunately i think we're better than the real shit in the league. Can't see how QPR and Reading are going to get out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
