Happy Face 29 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 The quote... Graham Carr: “I think Alan Pardew’s done a great job because he’s actually organised the side into a winning side. Cheick Tiote has improved. Hatem Ben Arfa, he was a little bit temperamental in France. He’s a talented player who played for the French national side two years ago. He had a problem, he fell asleep on the bench when he was at Lyon. But I think Alan Pardew’s putting an arm around him now and has got him playing to his true capabilities. Yohan Cabaye had a get out clause in his contract which was a major signing for us. He was valued at £10 million, but we found out he had a clause for £4.5 million, so that really gave us the green light to go out and sign him and the club worked hard, actually, to get him. Papiss Cisse scored twenty odd goals two years ago in the Bundesliga. He was liked by Bayern Munich, They wanted £15 million when we first enquired (he actually had a buyout clause in his contract of roughly that amount – wt), and then it was twelve, and we actually got him for eight in the last window which we thought was value for money.” http://www.nufcblog....d/#.T3xH4PDpG8B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 pardew sacked before christmas after a holocaust of a start to the season One of my favourites i couldn't have got it more wrong, i'm happy to say. but the prediction didn't feel that silly at the time - we'd just sold key senior players and bought in a bunch most of us had never heard of. it didn't sound like the recipe for success but fair play to all involved - it worked a treat. i'm hoping this summer we hang on to our players and build the squad rather than selling the senior pros again. if that happens, i'll be making a much more confident prediction this summer. i think he strategy was a bit of a gamble last summer - selling a bunch of senior players is unlikely to work every year. last summer was the equivalent of us selling tiote, ba and colocini this summer.

Happy Face 29 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 I predict next seasons position predictions to be largely incorrect due to being too positive, rather than this season where they're all (so far) proving to be too negative.

But we replaced with better players, so by your comment that would be equal to us replacing them with better I actually can see many fringe players going and maybe one we wouldnt want to lose but maybe 3 genuine first teamers joining.

JawD 99 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 So come on, I think its about time we stuck a few in so here we go. We wont get in the CL but will get in the EL (Ok, not much of a prediction given how close we are to the event but still) We will sell one of our big players in the summer We will invest in the squad with new players coming in for the first team More new players will come in than starting 11 players go out (So I dont include Smith, Lovenkrands, Ranger as outgoings) We will sign a Centre half, full back and midfielder at least. Krul will not be sold this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 We will qualify for the Champions League (What would you expect me to say) Shane will score before the end of the season. Season ticket holders will get free entry to the first European tie of next season as a thank you. We will win the FA Cup next season. Tiote, Ba and Krul will move on. Overall, the squad will be stronger again next season Alex will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) It's just creepy when you do it CT. Anyway, I think Ben Arfa is now at the point of brilliance where he can be referred to simply as Hatem and nothing more, Brazil style. Actually I think I'll just refer to him as "H" from now on. (Partially in tribute to the guy from Steps) PS my prediction of this being Wenger's last season at Arsenal is looking well fucked now, maybe by some bizarre twist he'll take the England job or something...

Happy Face 29 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 @YourService We'll finish 7th Deano We'll finish 7th Ewerk We'll finish 8th Stevie We'll finish 7th Tiote's Nutz We'll finish 7th Toonotl We'll finish 7th JonTheMag Cabaye will have at least 7 assists (Premier League fantasy game says 8, whoscored.com says 6. I'm going to give it). Ben Arfa will make less than 15 league appearances (He's on 15 after the late surge) By the end of the season, at least half of our starting 11 will speak French [Cabaye, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Ba, Cisse, Marveaux, Obertan - I'll give it, though only 5 are starters] Lovenkrands and Best will be our starting forwards for at least one league game. Vuckic, Ferguson, and Sammy Ameobi will score their first Premier League goals for us this season. Ranger will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
