Graham's not at Newcastles level says Pardrew

[Jarramag88]

Danny Graham is a good lad. Now that he is here having opted to sign for SAFC, even though he was booed before he even arrived shows that he is full of Northern spirit. A rare commodity in this age of cheap french imports, don't you think? Not that all your players are bad, but these unknown players are a bit faceless... No character.... all a bit remote.... Haway Danny lad!

How can you call our new players faceless with no character if you don't know them haha.
Sissoko will be immense. He won't be at Newcastle for long. Same with mbwia. Both top draw.

Here man, I bet Danny Graham shags more pussy then Sissoko and Mbwia put together! (Assuming he doesn't have a regular girl ofcourse!)

considering we only play one up top and graham's most likely come to be an impact sub, pardeux may have a point..?

But have we played 1 up top because MoN simply didn't trust either Campbell, Ji, Saha, McFadden or Wickham to play the 2nd striker role properly? He has bought Graham and targeted the player for several weeks. Reason? Because Graham offers more that just a striker he works his socks off for the team and that's why he will trust going with 2 strikers as when not in possession, Graham will work back and add more than any of the above.

Its not a rigid 4-4-2 we want but a flexible formation that has 2 goalscorers in it but with the work ethic required to allow it in the first place and especially when not playing the top 4 or 5 clubs.


Prepare to be surprised imo, starting today. He hasn't just paid £5m and chased a player for 4 or 5 weeks only to sit him on the bench lads. Trust me.

Do you not think, maybe, that it was not exactly money well spent when you already have Wickham on your books. A player who is probably better than Graham already and can only improve? If MO'N does not rate him, and sees him as someone who needs to go then I'd agree and say Graham is a good signing. Would you play Fletch just off Graham?

Cheers Pardew. If I was Danny Graham and read that id be determined to score against Newcastle and ram those comments down his throat.

If I wad Oneill id print a massive copy out and put it above his kit on derby day just so its fresh in his memory.

As for Newcastle, he's better than any of there strikers atm. You could only argue for Cisse

Atleast, thats how I feel. Haway Danny lad!

p.s. I think it's about time we reverted to atleast 5 homegrown players in the first team... England might get past a qualification group then too.

Well mate, only 2 games into our new signings but going on what I've watched I'd say they are anything but faceless with no character. Full of fight today and gouffran played great. We would Of lost that game 3 weeks ago. Sissoko is an absolute machine. He will have no troubles in this league.

In his 15 mins QWOP he looked far better than Wickham and nearly scored with his first touch. He should have been on form the start and I dont think we would have lost the game. Simples.

Probably already been said but he said Graham isn't at "that" level. That being Remy's level. It's true.. Remy has scored in every PL game he's played this season. Graham hasn't.
