Ashley's going to be taking a couple of risks this transfer window apparently: We wonât play safe. We could play safe and finish 14th or 15th in the season for the next 4 or 5 years, but where is the ambition in that,â said Pardew. (Taken from here - vote for allardyce in the poll on that site btw) What do you make of it? 3rd article in an hour you say? I dont know what's come over me. I might celebrate by linking some metallica, oh and you'd better wave to show your appreciation for the efforts i've put in...
I agree, Tiote, Cabaye and even Ben Arfa are risks, but you'd rather that than Reo Coker on a free to cement our place in 12th wouldnt you? Also:
Fair play. We need to bolster the squad to maintain some forward momentum or run the risk of slipping backwards. If the players brought in move the squad in terms of ability further up the table then first expected; I have no issue with that as long as it's sustainable.
I was looking for the poll and found Elle Liberachi instead. I may be some time... EDIT: Obligatory wave... please log in to view this image
