trooper 940 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Not expecting to sign anyone but if Cisse was to go and De Jong was to come in, we'd be in no better a position than we were 1st Jan. Only a matter of time before Remy starts thinking about the WC and where he'll be playing next season. That leaves us with Shola, out of contract in the summer, as our no 1 CF. Given that Cisse's forgotten how to score I cant see it being a big problem. The big problem for me as I've said in a previous post would be the departure of Remy (11 goals) & Cabaye (7 goals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabaye seems to be the only 'asset' that looks to be going. I can see Remy playing out the last 10 or so games not really giving a toss tho.

Ayatollah Hermione 13762 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Shame that we've just turfed Cisse out after he was roundly ruined by Pardew's tactics last season. Leaves us in the shit if Remy goes down with a lengthy injury and rather than try and get him back into scoring form by playing to his strengths, we'll just try and make some money back off him. If he wants to go then, fair enough but I bet they're glad to see the back of him rather than working with him to improve his form. Remy will have to perform all season if he wants to go to Brazil and keep better teams in the hunt for him. As soon as he started finding form, it was obvious that this would be the only year we'd have him since he's much too good to be leading our line. The same goes for Cabaye and tbh, it's not that we're a bad side, it's just they're players who are coming to the age where they'll be wanting their best years at a club where they can win trophies and they're both good enough to do it. Shame but we'll live. When we're left with no strikers in June, at least then we know they'll be forced to sign some.

When we're left with no strikers in June, at least then we know they'll be forced to sign some. and he was still top scorer, still making his runs in the last minute of injury time, still hoping for an all-too-rare pass even at that stage of games...without that we'd have been Bournemouth and Yeovil this season. Cisse could still be leading the line for us this season iyam. Pardew will be humilitated yet again by the fat man if Cisse is allowed to leave and no one comes in next week. He'll take it on the chin of course. He always fuckin does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Seen the Montpellier manager has had a dig at us now saying something along the lines of newcastle isn't the club for cabella, if he improves aspects he'll go to Tottenham or Chelsea in 6 months. What have we done to this lot? They can't resent us this much over losing MYM, unless we fucked them over in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5151 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Has he just said that now? Just wondering if that's the chain of events happening behind the scenes - Cabaye is getting ready to move and we've got Cabella on standby. And Montpellier want to keep him if they can. This guy is trying to get him to stay until summer so as not to suffer in his attempt to keep Montpellier up I reckon. I sympathise with that, he's basically doing what we'd want Pardew to do about Cabaye - but if he loses Cabella now, he can blame PSG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 £14m offer from PSG, Cabella a no go until summer (at which point he probably would go to Spurs or a more fashionable club) and his club have a major chip against us, plus De Jong claims he's not had any offers - big Joe's working his magic again this window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5151 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I reckon our transfers are like a house of cards - if someone goes, everything will start happening. We're just playing a waiting game. Or at least I hope that's what they're doing, and not just sitting there with their thumbs up their arses. EDIT - I was going to correct 'house of cards' for dominoes, but then I thought about it a bit more and realised that an inevitable, messy collapse that no one has any real control over is exactly how it'd happen at this club.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If Cabaye does go, which this morning looks very likely, then the money needs to be re-invested in at least two players but sadly I just can't see it.
