He should get enough money this season to start moulding his team and he will then be accountable for what he puts together. Hughton didnt make any bad signings other than say Perch but he was only ever a squad player, small fee and wages. How well Pardews signings do will determine if he is deemed a success.
The Cabaye signing for £4.3m i think is a great deal.... time will tell
If we can get the players being touted... Barnetta, Gardner, Neil Taylor, Ba and Erdinc i will be very happy and excited for next season. I would like to see us go for Reo Coker on a free too.
Because we have a bit money we are linked with everyone so i would like to see a few more confirmations through in the next couple of weeks.
Bit of a yes man but with our board to work with you cant really hold a grudge for that, alot of the high level stuff is out of his hands i.e. offering contracts. Be interesting to see what happens on the Enrique, Barton and Nolan front but if the approach is the club will no longer be held to ransom by its players i am happy with that.
Get rid of Enrique and get in M'Bengue
Keep Barton on until the end of the season and if we can get £5m for Nolan let him go, 5 year deal for a 28 year old slow midfielder is bad business and i cant blame the club for only offering 3. If he is kept on i hope it doesnt nring any negativity to the dressing room
