Pardew Confirms "No Striker in Jan"

Tiote, maybe but I've said that all along. Anyone else, no chance!

 

It isn't a question of honesty, it is a case of sensible negotiation. You don't walk into a market and advertise a desperate need for a product and expect to get a decent price.

I consider myself an honest person but I will try every trick in the book to get a decent price for something when I am buying. I would expect our club to do the same.

 

You lot just can't accept we won't buy a striker and your clutching at straws now.

 

Simpson I bet you a tenner. We won't give in to any wage demands and to be honest as horrifying the thought is I'm preying Colo signs very soon.

 

We might be. He is worth £10K but that's not the point

 

I don't see anyone claiming to say we will. I'm claiming regardless of the CB being a priority, we'll still be looking at strikers.

 

Again, DT arrives on the scene as the voice of reason!

Mr T, take a lesson, the key to any useful debate or discussion is to not talk about situations with multiple outcomes so as-a-matter-of-factly. If everyone was so set in stone and sure to happen, we all wouldn't waste our time talking about everything on here. And its obnoxious for you to talk to us all like we're all idiots and clueless when you can't know how its going to turn out, because it's impossible to! Say what you think will happen, but give up this 'it's a fact!' barrage, its annoying.

 

I agree but the fact our number one target failed his medical I pleased we won't buy until they tick all the boxes.

 

This! ... and we will buy if we find the right one for a reasonable price.

 

I don't think your all idiots and I apologise if that's how I come across,however I always seem to end up being right a few months down the line. I even get most results correct and have been known to win money predicting lottery numbers.

 

I think you're taking yourself far too seriously Mr Tiote!

 

Great effort IWC

Don't know about you but I really can't think of any way of proceeding in light of his response!? Only mrtiote ...!

 

I agree with what Pardew said. In January we'll be paying over the odds, and on top of that the teams selling know that we have £35M burning in our pockets. But if we are patient then we'll get some good deals in summer, à la Cabaye, when our targets run out of contract... Of course with Ba and Tiote off to the ACoN, we'll be low in numbers and quality in certain areas but unlike last year we're pretty much safe. So instead of moaning maybe we should just give some of our fringe players a chance to show if their worthy to play the first team ...

 

Oh come on! I'm litterally the Simon Cowell of these boards.

 

Don't insult Simon Cowell like that!

 

If Barca/Madrid wanted him they'd get him.

 

Congrats, first time you've made me laugh.

 

Oh drop the charm sweetheart I'm tired of explaining myself to you. You have your opinion and I have mine I agree to disagree now drop it until Feb 1st.

 

An opinion, but, but, I thought you took what you say as fact?! My word it comes across like that anyway!

 

I'm basically saying I know I'm right on 1st Feb. On this day you will kneel before me and chant my name.
