Jesse Pinkman

A lot of the Ligue 1 fans on reddit seem to think that Marseille are robbing us blind if we pay the reported fee and they get Cabella, slightly worrying.

He actually had one of the best games I've seen him play yesterday, can't remember any outlandish mistakes apart from his positioning before the situation where he had to pull someone back. He reminds me of Nicky Butt plays it safe all game and does a couple of blocks and is seen as a MOTM. Every time he gets the ball he does about 3 ball rolls maybe changes direction 3/4 times then passes it 10 yard sideways. He needs to be 2 steps further a head and know where to pass as he receives the ball.

I'm one of his biggest critics, but I thought the Colback, Anita midfield worked well today. He's obviously not the most expansive player, but I thought he looked decent under pressure on the ball today. He also definitely saved a point for us in those closing minutes.

Rondon to West Brom, that's a better signing than our signing of Mitrovic to be honest.

To be fair he didn't actually mention Obertan. I can see him playing Perez left wing and Sissoko right wing, with a midfield 3 of Colback Wijnaldum and De Jong.

Yeah was chatting to a few Palace fans on reddit earlier and they were fuming when I mentioned that Cisse point. They were all claiming he has turned Glen Murray into a great player and Zaha could be "world class" under Pardew. I was sick a little in my mouth.

Mate of mine is a groundsman at a league 2 club and he said the captain and a few senior players were on 3-4k a week.

People are way overreacting to those quotes. So he has an interview with Atletico but clubs can't agree a fee. Do you really expect him to turn Atletico down on the hunch that we may approach him in the future. We hadn't even shown any concrete interest at that stage (all we had done was send a scout to watch him, lots of teams probably did). He seems to be suggesting that he was close to moving a few times but is now happy to come to the Premier league, seems pretty standard.

From what I've seen, he seems a very similar sort of player to Giroud.

First the Austin shennanigans earlier and now this, something is obviously going on behind the scenes. However since we can seemingly fall into a barrel of tits and come out sucking our thumb I presume we will end up with neither.

I can see it as I'm on my phone it's a thumbs up

Whoosh.

Next thing we will be linked with Pablo Aimar, utterly ridiculous.

Extremely lazy journalism, we will be linked with a lot of ex-Valencia players due to Cathro.

Looks like a similar sort of character to Ketsbaia, lets hope he starts kicking the crap out of a sports direct advertising board.

The way I'm looking at it is if you had offered to me a year a go that Pardew would fuck off to Palace for 3 million but Cabaye would join him, I'd have bitten your hand off!

Every time I hear Cathro speak I like the guy more. He seems to be the polar opposite of what we have had the last 4/5 years. Intelligent, technical and hard-working coach.

Wouldn't surprise me if we get this deal lined up and then delay until Sissoko is sold.

I think they'll get 18-20m to be honest. Some team will panic and splash out on him. This is why we should have snapped him up for 15m within 2 weeks of the end of the season. With interest intensifying the price will keep going up and up.

Wait people think Joe Hart is better than Cech, one of the all time top 3 Premier League keepers?

If he doesn't have kids he should be looking at divorce. Silly woman. The metrocentre is a dump mind. Full of gap-toothed mackems most days. Every time I go there I never end up buying anything, always think I can get it for half the price off the Internet.

Richard Keogh is terrible, he's Williamson level. Seen him play a few times and he's awful.

Looks like we are one of the few clubs not scouting the U21 Euro's... http://i.imgur.com/P79ROAj.jpg
