Springboard? If he plays well enough to warrant interest from some of the top European clubs we'll have certainly got our moneys worth.
Ambition is fine with me.
With Colo confirmed and those words from Pardew I reckon we'll put out a decent team.
He simply has to start Mbiwa. Our defence will be ridiculous if he does. Swapping Simpson and Williams for Yanga-Mbiwa and Debuchy :lol: mwahahaha
Hopefully playing alongside an actual footballer will help re-motivate him (as I suspect he probably feels down about football at the moment, not just his personal problems).

Glad my favourite ever defender is staying! What a couple of weeks. I'm exhausted.
We have Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Cisse, Debuchy, Mbiwa, Sissoko...
What the f***? If Pardew can't get results out of these lads he needs put down. If we didn't have a coward as manager I'd be predicting great things next season.
Ameobi wide
I remember being raging when I came down for a match and Ameobi was wide left with N'Zogbia on the bench. Think Luque was playing as well. Never did I think, about 4/5 years on, the same f***ing thing would be happening.
