David Kelly 1244 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Backed Pardew over Ben Arfa just like he backed Souness over Bellamy and Robert. Like this club of ours is he destined to forever repeat the same mistakes?Leazes was right all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Argument isn't wether anyone succeeded or not, it was whether carr was wrong to recommend them. If Carr didn't recommend Ben Arfa at £5.5m then he really would deserve the criticism he's getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Accounting profit after amortisation on Mbiwa & Santon Bit of profit on Townsend Massive profit on Wijnaldum Doubled our money on Debuchy Unfathomable profit on Sissoko Mbemba our best CB Lascelles our new captain and maybe our best CB Does Carr deserve any re-reappraisal following all the criticism re Thauvin & Cabella?

PaddockLad 17245 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 He's been more good than bad, some slight criticism justifiable, but iyam we'd have been straight back down without him in 2010/11. You've got to look at some of the yes men and chancers Ashley has employed over the years to realise he's the only one who's had even the slightest idea what they've been doing when it comes to the football side of the club. His role probably got beyond him though, I think for most of his time here he has basically "been" the football side of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he's been in the same boat as a lot of our managers in fighting against the tide when it comes to signings. Recommend Lacazette as a prime target but get Doumbia, Mitrovic and Toney as cheaper options. Only slight criticism I would give him is that when he was getting fullsome praise for Cabaye, Tiote, Cisse, Ba and that he was straight onto Talksport giving it Billy Big Bollocks. He should know it's not an exact science and there's so much that can go wrong, whatever talent a player he finds has (see Ben Arfa). Was a bit of a dickish Pardew type move to bask in the credit.

Aubameyang too, I strangely saw quite a bit if him playing for St Etienne, he looked brilliant and I secretly got more excited than a man of my "advanced years" should have when we appeared to be in with a chance.

Ayatollah Hermione 13863 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Thank fuck for that. Identified some very good players, no question but his track record is littered with players completely unsuitable for English football, not to mention massive injury problems. There's that link with that French agency where he was definitely pocketing some back handers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35073 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Had too much influence and was, in effect, the DoF. Again, I think that's down to the owner being a bit clueless and also perhaps being loyal to a fault with the people he trusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
