Inochi 0 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The Mag saying that we've been linked with Enner Valencia, of scoring against England and World Cup fame. Can't see anything elsewhere, so may just be the usual click baiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Where?I've read him blame the World Cup for our end of season form (http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-blames-world-cup-7292601), but not for a lack of new signings. Â To be honest I find what he's said a little more ridiculous than what you've told us he's said. It is an excuse. A legitimate one clubs across the continent can attribute to their relative lack of transfer activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inochi 0 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Pretty poor form to be using the excuse of players having one eye on the World Cup, after he left Remy out of the squad to protect him for... the World Cup.

Â Almost as ridiculous as hoping to have most of your transfer business done before the WC starts only to find that your MD is on his holidays immediately prior to the WC.

Why do they take holiday during windows ffs? Kinnear done the same, there is 2 times a year they're actually needed and that's when they go on holiday? Only at our club.

Kinnear done the same, there is 2 times a year they're actually needed and that's when they go on holiday? Only at our club. Probably because they do fuck all until the window is due to close. The paoers always refer to "preparing a bid" but what does that actually mean? Probably that the fat man will let you send a fax with "ok we'll give you 9 million sovs for cabella, squire" scrawled on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMoUsE 0 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I can't imagine any MD would go on holiday during the transfer window. More likely they are away negotiating but the papers always do trot the line about holidays out. Probably cos that's what they're fed by clubs not wanting to raise fans hopes. But in our case more than likely they're all off on holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46062 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 People being on holiday means nothing. They have phones and ipads and are paid enough to conduct some business while they're away. That's not a reason for not signing anyone, it's an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31215 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 TBF it's not easy showing a club/player that you're serious when you're talking to them while covered in factor 50 on a Benidorm beach. Charnley is supposed to be our negotiator, we have no one else capable of speaking to another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoslingBeast 0 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'm beginning to think the potential signing of Shola Ameobi as our new striker will be our only addition upfront this summer. He will definitely be like a new signing for Pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
