I really wouldn't be surprised if we buy Hoilett, then it's as Best's replacement. Completely different type of player, but if we are playing the way Pardew keeps alluding to then he will probably fill Best's gap in the squad.
Can play wide and central, after Pardew mentioned about copying Spain it really wouldn't surprise me. If Ba and Cisse went to afcon we used Hoilett in a false 9 role.
Would be a complete turn-around from the beginning of last season but it wouldn't surprise me.
