I just want to say, im not having a go but for those of you who think we should sell tiote and ba, your wrong. Over the past 2 seasons, pardew, ashley and Graham Carr and given us one of THE balanced squads in the premier league, but through europa, it has been cut thin. We should never think about selling Tiote, he's irreplaceable. Tiote is the best in the prem on what he does, and no don't just say, "Yh best at getting red carded" coz hes not. Tiote does go in for stupid challenges and can be a liability but he is one of the only ones in our team who can make those crucial tackles and rid danger. Hes so strong and can get out of dangerous situations coz of his power and skill and is described as a "walking wall". He is what gives us that balance in the 433, sitting in that hole with anita or jonas while cabaye sets up HBA on the devastating counter attack.
Demba Ba, we owe him, hes done a lot for us, and personally, i don't think he's greedy. His agent is the one who's greedy, he's the one who leaked out the release clause, just so he could pocket up to £3m. He twists all of demba's words, i know demba wants to stay and so does pardew (evidence) and another piece of evidence is if you go on dembas twitter, hes put "Here we go again" and thats 99% likely hes talking about all this speculation. We need to keep Ba as we've got a really good system for him and papiss to work together. Whoevers on goalscoring form, gets the CF role, but if you watched the wigan match, him and cisse were constantly swapping, which is really good. so e.g if cisse is on the wing and scores and ba doesn't, cisse gets the CF role but still swap during the match. Cisse and ba worked their socks off when they have played on the wings, especially ba, he's fantastic with combinations with hatem.
I love our team, and its a class one, simpson is good defensively but is over confident attacking, thats where debuchy would be an excellent buy, so would douglas. then maybe we can have anita and sissoko battling for the CM role, and have jonas in europe and cup and maybe cover. Marveaux and sammy are constantly battling for LW with shane ferguson.

Demba Ba - we owe him? You're joking aren't you? We were the club who saw past his knee injury susceptibility and supported him when other BPL teams wouldn't. We're the team who has stood by him and celebrated him even as his reps agitate for a move elsewhere. We're the team who stocks his ruddy syrup in the club shop!
If that isn't good enough for him, let him go. We shouldn't let him hold us to random, as great a player as he is.
A source expects 2/3 players to leave in January dye to the teams situation and lack of ambition of tge owner
For definate Ba Simpson possibly Jrull and Ben Arfa with targets Jonas and Santon but
these wil be resisted
Ashley will use money or most of it to bring
Ain replacements meaning the swuad
remains the same weak
There will be no money available from
the large amount if income to date or rthe 70% increase from tv money due at the
end if the season as there us no assurance
Athe club will be in the Premiership
Time to get real as this team and fans has been shafted by Ashley
shafted
No I'm not joking. Yes we are the one that gambled on him but look what he's repaid us with? He's scored 26 goals for us and a lot of them are quality, when we dropped him against Everton, he showed us it was a mistake.without him we would never be in the europa league. We shouldnt let him go, he's a top quality player and if he decides to be loyal in jan, keep him! Id be heartbroken if he left.
