PaddockLad 14528 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 In most people's line ups it would be difficult to see where Sinclair or Ince would fit in. Most people's first choice is a narrow 3 of Cabaye,Sissoko and Tiote, with Remy and Gouffran either side of Cisse. Bringing in a wide left player screams 442 to me.

JonTheMag 4 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Both could play in the LW position that Remy is expecting to play in the front of a 4-3-3. Could also, drop Cabaye back to partner Sissoko, bring Ben Arfa into the middle, and play Sinclair or Ince on the right, which could be good at home against lesser teams.

Gouffran infront of Ben Arfa? :lol:I agree though. Thing is, whether it means 442 or not, we need more quality out wide.Rather than 442 or 433 we would use a variation of the later which he have done for a while. 4231.

Well that does beg the question why wouldnt you play Remy after chasing him for 18 months? I appreciate its about options, but something doesnt add up.Dont know about your second plan, it sounds confused and far fetched iyam; HBA doesnt really play in the middle, 18 months of squealing from FM fanboys hasnt changed Pardews mind on that one and as for where Sissoko fits in..you're suggesting he plays further back than Cabaye??..

Its going to be interesting to see what happens. I frankly havent got clue what to expect. Where does Gomis fit in to this masterplan?...theres going to be a stronger bench if these two moves come off, that cant be bad...or can it?..Ashley doesnt strike me as wanting millions of £££££££s sat on the bench.

Remy's recovering from an injury at the moment, and the likes of him and Ben Arfa will all likely miss spells this season, as that's been the pattern in their previous seasons. Of course Remy would be the first choice, but having one of Sinclair and Ince would provide a genuine attacking weapon off the bench as well as cover for the inevitable injuries of Remy/HBA. And I don't think it is quite far-fetched, and is coming from more than just FM fanboyishness. Hasn't Ben Arfa been playing through the middle in a 4-2-3-1 during a few of these pre-season games? And you're right that should've been drop Sissoko back to partner Cabaye. I loathe posting formation schematics, but my idea is basically this: --------Cisse Remy--HBA--Sinclair/Ince ------Cabaye--Sissoko Against weaker teams at home, I think that could be quite effective. But both you and HHman are right. It's unlikely Ashley will make an outlay for these players just to have them as alternatives. But then again, we did buy Anita!

See James McCarthy this summer Fair points Jon....no doubt Pardew will conspire to make of pigs ear team out of a sow's purse squad though...

JonTheMag 4 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Of course. Was making an argument for why Ince/Sinclair would be great acquisitions, not for a second suggesting that we'll ever actually sign them! And wasn't Anita more of a Tiote replacement than Cabaye?

StellarStripes 0 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 5mil for Sinclair or 8mil for Ince. Sure as fuck we should be in for them. That is nothing for English talent. More to the point, that is fuck all for quality options in our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobos 297 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Makes me feel better after your "I hate your posts more than anyone" Cant get much lower than stealing from a charity.

ewerk 26192 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Stewart Downing set to sign for West Ham. So that's now £55m of King Kenny's signings sold at a loss of £34m. Edit: Plus another £5m loss on Charlie Adam. Edited August 12, 2013 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
