Those two having fatigue is my main worry.

Good bet it will be Santon at RB and Haidara at LB while Debuchy is out for the next matches.

Cardiff: Marshall; McNaughton, Hudson ©, Turner, John; Whittingham, Kim, Gunnarsson, Cowie; Odemwingie, Cornelius Subs: Lewis; Caulker, Campbell, Brayford, Smith, Noone, Conway

Elliot; Santon, S Taylor, Yanga-Mbiwa, Haidara; Tiote ©, Anita; Ben Arfa, Sissoko, Gouffran; Cisse Subs: Alnwick, Dummett, Williamson, Obertan, Sammy Ameobi, Shola Ameobi, Remy

Pardew has sussed out the mole.

Harsh.

Elliot, Haidara, Taylor, MYM, Anita, Ben Arfa, Cisse + 4 from Willo, Santon, Tiote, Gouffran, Sissoko, Remy, Shola (Cabaye, Colo and Debuchy out for sure) if your source is correct. Elliot MYM Willo Taylor Haidara Hatem Anita Tiote Gouffran Shola Cisse Probably.

Any idea who's gonna play today?

He'll just have to refuse any new contract, play on for another year before getting his move. There's no way we will miss out on a transfer fee with a year left by then.

Should have done the same to Gomis last summer too. Inept DoF didn't catch on to the loophole! we got taken to court over Jonas! Practically every player who used that ruling got taken to court!

@LaurensJuliens exactly. And no complications, some players have done it in the past, some wi in the future too. 'No complications'.

Exactly. If this clause was so straight forward, we would have seen a lot more top level footballers move by now. You would have expected a sports journalist to do more research rather than being so eager to come up with something. He's actually making his own point worse too by claiming Cabaye's wages are £60-£70k per week. As if. Quite funny watching him defend himself against the current tweetstorm.

Didn't even get the Webster ruling correct. Said ruling says you can buy out your contract after 3 years if you sign it before the age of 28, and after 2 years if signed after age 28. Nothing to do with the length of the contract.

Heh. For a man his size, he didn't even dominate us aerially.

Anyone seen much of him? Didn't impress me when we played Anzhi.

I hope this turns the spotlight on players abusing refs instead. Too often they have gotten away with worse.

Think it's more a case of them being rested / the others given a chance.

So now Kinnear is responsible for the change in playing style this season? Best eva signing.

Done. Can't make up my mind over the Solskjaers.

That's some strong endorsement of the new guy by giving him a rolling contract.

Gomis is becoming more and more the player I want even if he isn't that great. We desperately need a forward with strength to get Shola out of the side. Especially when a target man is never far from his tactics. Just give him what he wants for once and get rid of Shola.

Was their POTY in 2012.

Both I think.
