So? 95 goals man. Even on top form thats another 4 years. What is he, 28 now?

The way things stand we are very likely going to need replacements for all the following players in the summer: Cabaye, Remy, Coloccini, Jonas, Ameobi Add to that the complete lack of ambition and/or games means Taylor, Ben Arfa and Debuchy may want out.

I would think its very possible that PSG haven't bid formally yet but are in talks. We have realised that talk of getting £20m+ just isnt going to happen so have released this 'rejection' of a £14m bid in the hope it will dampen fans expectations and leave us thinking they have done well to get £16-18m for him.

Someone tell PSG Dan Gosling is available for £14m

This. This next derby is very important.

soooo many goals

Is Salah not an out and out winger?

They are at a bowling centre out there, Khalifa its called.

But are we at least getting close to being on the verge of monitoring him?

Going by Dummet's instagram they are in Ferrari world today, so I guess there is a chance he is flying out late for the actual training camp.

Nail on head Dave. The last thing I want is for Ben Arfa to leave but if he isn't then it is a crazy decision by Pardew to allow him not to travel and Ben Arfa to not want to.

Anita to fullback? sounds very unpardew but I like

I would say the opposite. Had we went in 2-0 I fully expected a completely different second half with us sitting back. Can't afford to do that now. Better that they scored just before half time than just after.

Never even got a free kick!

Southampton playing like Pardew is in charge since two early goals.

Expected worse (Shola) but hoped for better (Ben Arfa)

If Cabaye went, would Sissoko offer more protection to the middle allowing Ben Arfa and Cabella to float behind Remy?

Would like to think its how we would approach todays game too.

My guess is he'll be on bench for couple of months a bit like Santon unless there's injuries. Then first choice once Cabaye has left. So he's a central midfielder? He seems to be an attacking midfielder, a typical Chelsea type. Would suit a 4-2-3-1?

almost....

This Southampton domination is almost making Owen bareable.

So predictable. He will do well to make half time now.

Good luck with that, about 99% done deal to Toronto I dont doubt that, the story was something about a loan deal which doesnt make sense what Spurs then have to do with it. However, the point is, IF he is able to offer first refusal to Spurs then we cant have any deal in place or price set with the loan deal.

Exactly what i thought. Like a fifa 14 chip it looked slow motion. Some pass to put him through too
