ewerk 31202 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Days without as much as a rumor of a striker coming in. Pardew said after City that our goals would be coming from SDJ and Cisse. I think we can give up on getting a proven striker in during this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Did anyone EVER have any hope that Ashley would pay top whack for a "proven" striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inochi 0 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Plenty, I imagine. I think we'd have spent on either Lacazette or Remy, as they were our 'main' targets. History has shown that if our main targets don't come off (often at the price we want to pay) in one window, we're happy to sit tight, to the obvious detriment of the team.

PaddockLad 17654 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Did anyone EVER have any hope that Ashley would pay top whack for a "proven" striker? Inochi's right, but the Ukraine crisis put that one to bed for this window I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4222 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 De Jong isn't a centre midfielder tbh, he would be playing off the striker, colback or Anita will definitely play if we have 3 in midfield True, I just wanted to accomodate all of those players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 As much as we know exactly what this regime is all about, the total lack of any sort of enthusiasm in terms of signing a goalscorer this month still fucking sickens me. This will be a long and tedious season without any shadow of a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4222 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Possible but Sissoko's not a DM anymore than De Jong is a CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not to mention the potential for foreign objects being lobbed from the away end. All that time building his Leazes Lad Twitter following up. Surrender the account. I know there's another Steve who sits in the Leazes end that will take it on. Had Ashley's cards marked from the start he did as well, and you won't need to worry about security on the account, his computer's like a fortress. Somebody tried to infect it for calling it right from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I wouldn't want him. Something about him annoys me, maybe the haircut. Ability wise I think I'd prefer to try and get Cisse firing again than have Welbeck. I don't think he's beyond redemption, his shitness did coincide with us going flat and shit. He went on his goal rampage when he joined a team already playing with confidence, so if we're still playing with the energy that we displayed on Sunday when he comes back, who knows.

Rayvin 5296 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 he'd be crazy money with the english inflation Still young enough to have resale though. I'd take him. No question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4857 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 we won't pay crazy money resale value or not though Guardian reckons 20 million for him. Considering Balotelli has just moved for 16 thats a ludicrous price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
