Kevin Carr's Gloves 3243 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Motivation levels from the manager towards the players. Look by the sounds of things you are a young'n. You've been brought up playing Championship Manager and think bringing in the best talent equates to how well the team performs. Sorry to say that that isn't always the case. You'll experience it next season the hard way, and years thereafter. Could you try and be a bit more patronising there I am sure that would help the "young'ns" of today understand how much more incredibly knowledgeable you are about football compared to them.

jonasjuice 0 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Can we just hurry up and decide whether we should be focusing on getting more Brit's or getting a new manager, so I can get super focussed and make it happen without all this confusion please.

trophyshy 6441 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I think our net will be negative and we'll get no one special over the line. Get focussed on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graing 15 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Never fear. Pards is just waiting until after the Cup. Wouldn't want us to make a play for what could turn out to be damaged goods and such. I'm sure there will be a veritable flurry of activity afterwards.... Or we'll sign some marginal striker from a 2nd tier euro league team and get a nearly washed-up midfielder on loan. Good times ahead. Really thought that they would have done something by now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 They have done something. According to the chronicle, this Spanish kid has signed and they're just waiting for their league to finish before announcing it. It also says our hope is two strikers and Cabella. I think we've got next to no chance of signing Cabella since we're trying to do it on the cheap again and apparently there are better ran clubs sniffing around. And if that's all we're after we're fucked because we're already two central midfielders down on the start of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the striker from the 2nd tier euro league team I mentioned, though perhaps I was a bit harsh with my characterization of him. Maybe he'll turn out great. I don't think Montpellier will accept bargain offers for Cabella and I think there are other PL clubs bidding. I think that talk about Siem de Jong will bubble up again although I think maybe his value has gone up since the club last floated interest in him.

Getting in shit players that are being released by teams that were relegated or were on the verge of being relegated is the way to get teams to perform. Way to go old gaffer! I am so fortunate to be able to bathe in the glow of your vast intellect and experience! Cant wait till I finish Championship Manager, grow up, and be able to think up such wonderful revolutionary ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/four-newcastle-players-offered-french-clubs/ 4 frenchies offered to french clubs Obertan M'biwa Marveaux Ben Arfa According to the article we'll have to unload these to help towards player sales. Obviously Obertan and Marveaux wont be misses, Ben Arfa while sad is to be expected with the way Pardew has been treating him. I'm mostly bothered by them wanting rid of M'Biwa, the lads barely been given a chance and there's obviously talent there, I always saw him as the long term solution to Colo as our ball playing centre half. Again our transfer policies are confusing if this is true, the bloke hasn't played many games and a lot of them have been out of position, his value will have surely decreased. Thinking about my point yesterday, I think I was trying to say I'd like to see us chase players that would fit Pardew's system better rather than just talented players in general, I've no real clue what the blokes system is as it's a bit of a mess but whatever it is if we're sticking with him those should be the type of players targeted. The more talented the better obviously but we should aim for talents that fit in more with Pardew's style. This M'biwa mess is an example, obviously a talented lad but Pardew has no clue how to use him properly, he clearly prefers a Williamson type which makes it all the more frustrating we didn't chase Douglas who by all accounts is that sort of player but obviously better than Williamson. Again all hypothetical but it just worries me that we're sticking with this bloke and targeting anyone that looks like they may go on to be a talented player and increase in value regardless of the system they fit best.

BLACKANDWHITEGEORDIE 0 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 If Pardew is letting YMB leave, he is sending totally the wrong message to young French players. Everyone knows he and his so called coaches are useless when it comes to coaching skilful, talented players so why would they even dream of signing for us. Ashley will rue the day he did not take the opportunity to sack Pardew following his thug tactics last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
