trophyshy 7083 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) CT says Pardew is. Not sure why. I don't think he is. I am saying that the statement doesn't stand up to basic scrutiny with respect to the supposed infrastructure at the club, casting the scouting team in a negative light. I appreciate, as does CT, that this is nothing to do with reality and is surely an unintended consequence of a poorly written piece of propaganda. What the statement should read is 'How Much?! We're not spending that!', but they've tried to be smart arses about it, and failed, naturally. Edited September 3, 2013 by trophyshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Aubameyang & Thauvin not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Who is blaming Carr?Some people are reading far too much into Pardews statement. However some of the options that were available within our financial means were not as good as the players we already had and there is no point bringing in new players unless they can improve us and take us forward. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130903/statement-from-alan-pardew-summer-transfer-window_2281670_3446911 The fact it Pardew said "some", suggests not all.

So some of the players available (within our financial means) were not as good as what we've got. Therefore some of the players available (within our financial means) were as good (or better?) than what we've got. Why didn't we buy them then?

trophyshy 7083 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 At least Llambeasy put out statements which could handle a modicum of scrutiny. Who do we think actually wrote this, Ashley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 6 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Perhaps we can field the stumbling block instead of Shola? We lost none of the better players and less fixtures, so it's not all doom and gloom. Cisse's form is a bigger concern than any signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17256 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The key word in this for me is "available"....someone tell me who decides if a player is available? Its hardly likely to be the fuckin scout of the buying club is it CT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33183 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm not turning on Carr at all. My point (like HMHM) is that on reading it, it looks like he's carrying the can. I was been sarcastic as you well know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7083 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The cunt in charge is the biggest concern, buy aye, why not, let's worry about Cisse's form. Do you think Remy will help Cisse to improve? Assuming he stays out of jail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to see how Remy will help Cisse stay on side or hit the target, but he should give much better balance to the team, which should improve everyone.

trophyshy 7083 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think Remy in a free role, and by that I mean not in prison, will directly and indirectly create considerably more chances for Cisse, which should improve his return if not his all round game.

Dr Gloom 21917 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) some on here were getting sniffy at the likes of gomis at one point. clearly no better than shola. it's all carr's fault. Edited September 3, 2013 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
