Alex 30260 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The other thing is Cisse didn't get that many clear cut chances during his dry spell. Top striker means 1 in 2 Alan. Riviere looking at him looks a 1 in 3/4. He won't get 4 chances a game in many games, maybe the 3 home games against struggling sides ie Palace etc... Chron pumping some story about a new bid for Remy shows the lack of real determination to get a striker... Expect a Lee Ryder 'exclusive' tomorrow telling us the deal has stalled over personal terms.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I still believe in Cisse as well. Just needs decent service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 We don't have anyone who can supply enough chances to our striker (s) for us to do anything other than finish mid-table at best.I don't expect us to finish higher than last season.

Alex 30260 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 He needs quality service, that's for sure. Whether you think he's good enough or not his game is all about movement as he's not a target man type (not strong enough) and he isn't lightning quick either.

trooper 940 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Pardews even taken the fun out of guessing if we'd sign a striker before the window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Latest news is YMB is going to Marseille on loan with a view to them buying and we are putting one final bid in for Remy. I assume Richards will be the man to replace YMB given the article in the Italian paper last night. Remy and Richards in would make this a pretty fantastic transfer window tbf. It's a big if though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 All of the signs slapping every supporter in the face that we aren't signing a striker, Ryder publishes a 'fresh enquiry for Remy' article. Wouldn't make much of a detective would he? Even worse that no one saw it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a big if though You'd have thought if we were serious about getting Remy we'd have been straight in for him when the Liverpool deal fell through. I think the spendings done in this window I hope I'm wrong but from Pardew's statement it looks like he's sticking with Cisse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8954 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 You'd have thought if we were serious about getting Remy we'd have been straight in for him when the Liverpool deal fell through. I think the spendings done in this window I hope I'm wrong but from Pardew's statement it looks like he's sticking with Cisse. I'm not convinced we are going for Remy again, but it makes sense to wait for the waters to calm before going in again, surely? There's no point approaching QPR if they are still expecting Champions League clubs to come a-courting. Now that it appears nobody is willing to risk it for Remy apart from us, we could get him for less money, or a deal that is structured in a way that benefits us more than one that was built when it appeared as if Remy was off to the top table?

aimaad22 3427 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 3 days to go and not even a rumour of a striker. After failing to score in 3 games. We're asking for trouble, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you ever get bored of trying to think of excuses for the club. Not buying a front line striker would amount to a massive failure, especially when you consider Ba still hasn't been replaced.

I'd love a new top forward , but would also love to see Cisse recapture that sublime first 6 months form. I'm sure most agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12450 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 But he wont ever look like he did that first 6 months man, it was a mental purple patch. I hope he can come round to being a serviceable premier league striker, that would chip in with 15 or so goals but in all honesty it hasn't looked likely for whatever reason it is.
