I remember when Pardew said he didn’t rate him. We should have known he was going to turn out class. #unpardewed
I've just come online tonight and when I saw the picture my first thought was that he was giving Charnley a mouthful
That's not true. He got him on the pitch even when there were already 6 other left backs on the field. So he clearly did rate him.
All you had to do to get a game during the Pardew years was say you were a left-back. I suspect even Haidara would have 50 appearances under his belt by now if he was still manager.
Haidara was actually scouted as a goalkeeper but when he heard of the silver fox's love of left backs he ticked a different box on Carr's mail shot.
Well he's already got 37 so it's hardly a massive exaggeration. "I bet Haidara would have played 13 more games".
It’s another 26%. It’s the difference between shagging 4 really fit birds in a week instead if 3. I’d rather have 4.
Well clearly, but if a mate said to me he was shagging 3 fit birds a week it's hardly a wild leap of the imagination to think he could have 4. So if he claimed he was going to have 4 the following week I wouldn't claim it was a massive exaggeration. Just saying, I strongly suspect you weren't aware of how many games Haidara did actually play for us.
