Would anyone agree with the conspiracy that Taylor got sent off on purpose to get rid of Pardew? Similar to Gerrard missing the peno under Hodgson?

:pac:

Ah jaysus, wrong thread for this craic.

Taylor is one of Pardew's top men in the squad, as in, I'd say Taylor believes in Pardew's abilities as much as his own.


So. NO, that's a pretty ridiculous assertion IMO.

According to the lads over at NUFC.com, we're closing in on two targets.

Less than two weeks before the transfer window closes - and boosted by an influx of funds from the expected sale of Yohan Cabaye - we understand that NUFC officials are currently overseas, concluding permanent deals to sign two players. More as we get it...

They're usually not too far off the money..

Moneymaker

Obviously Willian and Thiago Silva. :P

mohamed sissoko is available on a free aint he, bit defensive but would still have him
thauvin would be great and gomis, easily have all 3 for under 16m

Vurnon San Benito

If we get Thauvin, it would represent unbelievable business.

Gomis looks set to be one of them for sure, but I wouldn't mind another defender

But not all of those publications are fan sites. .com are. Cite their source or don't say anything at all tbh.

Yeah from my experience with that website they rarely put up transfer news without any substance, unlike that Cwarr prick on Twitter :mad:

Guessing Thauvin myself....

Vurnon San Benito

What's beginning to annoy me is the North-East press, constant switching of allegiances. When things are going good, fully supportive of Ashley regime, then when poor turn of events they're embarrassing at times to be honest.

Few journos from up there that I follow, George Caulkin and Mark Douglas.

After following for a couple of years, decided to unfollow Lee Ryder, the guy spouts a lot of nonsense.
Luke Edwards is OK, but completely against Ashley after whole dressing-room debacle.

So in terms of NUFC.com, I'd trust them ahead of most/all journos up North to be honest.

Moneymaker

Simon Bird usually writes decent stuff i've found.

M5

Those journos cant say that much lads, some have been banned in the past for reporting facts in a non flattering light

Pepe LeFrits

I bet you'll sign Miralem Pjanic.

I thought Bale and Rooney myself

Vurnon San Benito

Imagine if like, MA and JK were fully confident Arsenal would offer £20m in the next two days and instead of waiting for funds, went and bought Thauvin, Gomis, only for Arsenal to cool interest in Cabaye and then he ended up staying.

I would love to see the look on Ashley's face after that :pac:

the more likely outcome is that the cabaye deal will go through an hour before the window shuts and we will just fail to get the others across the line!

Surely you know the drill at this stage Doocey!

Hence my use of "imagine" which by definition is:

Verb
1. Form a mental image or concept of.
2. Believe (something unreal or untrue) to exist or be so

Nufc.com: Update: social networking sites carried photos of messrs Pardew, Carr, Kinnear and club secretary Lee Charnley leaving Nice Airport on Tuesday evening.

Hmmmm

Vurnon San Benito

Quite a few photos of the three drifting around, no question about it being them.

Have a look at Kinnear waiting for his flight:



In all fairness, football aside - the guy looks wrecked, almost ill. Whether that's fatigue or not, not nice viewing.

On the flipside, let's hope they've got a few over the line :pac:

Jesus Christ. I don't like the man but that doesn't make good viewing. He looks in a state.

Either that, or he called Gomis' agent a cúnt so many times that he's exhausted!

Apparently he's promised the guy in the photo with him (cut out of this one) that we'll have 3 in by Saturday.

1 would be a pleasant surprise.

from the chronicle
When asked if he feared getting through the window without being able to add to his current squad, Pardew said: “If it doesn’t (happen), like anything in life, we’re going to have to get on with it with what we’ve got.

“We’ve still got a very good team with Remy on top of it.

“We lost Demba and got the other guys in in January. I still think one more would be the perfect scenario.”

1 more is the perfect senario he says? were possibly losing out best player and he wants 1 more in? the ambition of this club is nothing short of shocking.
I am starting to think ashley doesnt want to give pardew money till he sees how the season starts and decides if he will finally sack him or not.

That_Guy

My prediction:

We'll sign someone but he'll be a youth squad player. Pardew will say "we tried for a top quality player but we couldn't get it over the line".

Cabaye will leave on deadline day and we'll inevitably replace him with nobody.

We'll be absolute poison in the run up to January and we'll panic buy in January but Cisse will leave, Debuchy will leave and perhaps Ben Arfa.

Our replacements will be utter crap.

Pardew will be sacked or walk and in will step Kinnear until the remainder of the season.

Kinnear will keep us up by the skin of our teeth and Ashley will say, "mmm, yiou know what? He got this team working quite well despite the players that left. I think I'll give him a second stint as manager"

M5

And vucikc is off. Lots stripped from the wage bill. Very little added

That_Guy

Vuckic off on loan.... Jesus.

Moneymaker

He looked like he was ready to step up before a bad injury last season and now he's shipped out?

Just what the fuuck is going on? Perch, Simpson, Ferguson, Vuckic and soon to be Cabaye all moved on.

We'll have no players left at all at this rate.

That_Guy

And Kinnear has been saying that he'll have 3 players in before Saturday.

Sky Bet have Kinnear at 13/2 to sign ANY player of note....

Moneymaker

I bet we sign no-one and WHam win on Saturday(again).

Could be fun seeing 50,000 strong lynch mob.

TaosHum

tbf, Vuckic could do with some regular football. Loan spell will do him some good. Hopefully this means they have something else lined up (hopefully).

Honestly, he could've done a job this season. I'd like to have seen him in Cabaye's position if he does indeed leave.

Why League 1 level though? Surely Championship is the level he should be playing at. Ridiculous.

In fairness im not sure the lads up to the standard, i know there was high hopes for him but not premier league quality

He's probably not much worst than Marveaux/Anita and Jonas.

We need cover, the squat was far to thin last year. Clearly Ashley and Co think that we were overstocked due to the Europa league last year.... Be prepared for other departures

I agree he should be playing at a higher than league 1, especially when he was playing with Cardiff a couple of seasons ago. But still, I'd rather see him playing league 1 than with the u21's.

I don't think Pardew would have used him, considering he refuses to use Anita as it is.

he is only 21 remember!

That_Guy

I wouldn't really have cared that much about Vuckic going on loan but because we've not replenished the squad with new faces, it's a bigger deal than what it probably should be.

Moneymaker

Knowing Pardew he'd end up sticking Vuckic at right back or something equally stupid.

He must the biggest proponent of 'Square pegs in round holes' I have ever seen.

That_Guy

So with Debuchy clearly not applying himself and Tavernier injured with a broken foot what the hell do we do for RB?

Santon?

What happens if Dummett gets injured at LB? Jonas?

Jesus.

*bangs head off desk*

I missed when I really didn't give a fúck about transfers and the likes but this is just taking the piss.

EDIT: Forgot about Haidaira.

cadete

in fairness anita was the only good thing we had around xmas last year i thought he was goin really well, and marv playin advanced midfield(not left wing) done well a few times last year aswell
I dunno where bigi has gone either, great wee player

The Pardew effect... Sissoko/Debuchy and Haidara all looked like world beaters when they arrived. 5/6 training sessions knocked that out of them though!

M5

Cabaye's replacement rumored to be Yoann Gourcuff. Dumb and dumber allegedly in Lyon last night watching him play...

All sounds fine until you ask why are we only looking at players now. Surely if we were even remotely interested in the player before yesterday we would have more than enough information on the lad.....

slingerz

why the obsession with french players!!

M5

Also PSG have expressed an interest in Cabaye, bidding war would be nice....
