It's close to where he is from and from looking at us from the outside, even with Rafa, we are a club 'run' by Mike Ashley.
Would you join us ?
Pardew has probably told him exactly what Ashley is like, hence the change of mind.
Dude it's only a loan till the end of the season. He must be absolutely mad!
It's the kind of decision I'd expect an English guy to make though. Pardew would have been sucking up to him, and he's probably got mates at West Brom.
Completely daft.
Yup. Pards probably called him "Dan the Man" in the first 5 seconds which sealed the deal. The player will have looked at both managers and thought, "fuck this, at least I can wing it with that other clown".
