Yup. Brilliant Pardew, he never even MENTIONED this position needing to be filled after he binned Jedinak. Sam is a proper manager. I just don't see the amount of posts anymore questioning his management like I did for Brilliant Pardew. The team is much better balanced. Sam is starting to get the best out of the players. He knows how. As opposed to thoroughly p1ssing them off.
Don't get me wrong I wanted Pardew gone from April and think he damaged us. But I think a lot of managers don't publicly identify their priority positions for all manner of reasons. Surely even he knew we lacked at left back and defensive midfield. SURELY

Surely even he knew we lacked at left back and defensive midfield. SURELY Not convinced that he did, he ignored the possibility of us needing a recognised DM, just assumed Cabaye or Ledley would suffice. As for left back, again I think he saw it as an extremely low priority. For as much money we spent in the Summer we ended up with a weaker more unbalanced team until it was rectified in January. Just taking our summer transfer activity into account, I would have rather we not signed Benteke and bought cheapers £10m+/- options to strengthen the strength in depth of our squad. The true cost of selling Jedinak has been £8m to replace him with Milivojevic (12m-4m) plus 7 months of the season watching gutless leaderless performances that dragged us into the relegation spots, hopefully HOPEFULLY we have turned the corner now but the price we've payed is 7 months wasted playing a half filled and unbalanced squad.

To be fair though Luka>Jedi

Quite soon I think. His performances are improving and with that will come the confidence to shoot more and score.

And the real cost was being at one stage 2nd from bottom with only 13 games to play in addition to the £8m figure of Luka and his wages that must be considerably more than Jedinak's were. Plus if we had kept him we may have not really needed to sign Milivojevic in January and used the funds elsewhere. If we had kept Jedinak then I have no doubts Allardyce would have been able to steady the ship sooner than he has done.

Jedinak wasn't commanding a regular place, rightly or wrongly, but not having a decent DM was a mistake. However, Milivojevic is a massive upgrade on Jedinak both in ability to dispossess attackers and accuracy and effectiveness of passing the ball.

He probably would have in an Allardyce team. Funny thing is that Pardew would probably still be in a job if he had played Jedinak.

We could have set up the exact same way we do now with Jedinak as the anchor at the base of the midfield triangle. Pardew tried using Jedinak as the exact same box to box player like McArthur and Puncheon are, it's like asking Zaha to play like David Silva and then wonder why you're not getting results. Had we not sold Jedinak and had he not even played up until Allardyce's appointment; I'd still be sure that Allardyce would have been able to settle on a formation and system sooner and picked up a few more points in those first 7 games before Milivojevic came in and it's going to be those 7 games that will have cost us if we do go down.
