This won't happen

We shouldn't, he's probably our best player. Actually scratch that... He IS our best player

I think some here are determined to hate Colback. I didn't even like him when he was on our side, he was very good today though. Fair play to him.

Read an interview he gave about the young players Chelsea have sold, said they didn't want to fight for their place. Mentioned Zouma saying he had the right attitude

Depay - Mata - Pedro Behind Rooney is a title challenging front four

The guy is a f***ing thug and shouldn't be allowed on a football pitch. Once he retires from football it won't be long before ends up going to jail. Thug is a tad harsh, reckless at times yes. Shouldn't be allowed on a football pitch?

Unpopular opinion and I expect to get pelters. Lee Cattermole is a very good midfielder. I'd rather have him than Fer. Haven't seen much of M'Vila

Been on a Palace forum, I've honestly never had posts met with such intense hate before. Even here. I suppose I'll go back there in 6 months when they realise he's not very good and Pardew is constantly playing him on the wing. In the meantime I'll join in the Pards hate on here

Turned into a world beater for about 6/7 games. By co-incidence it just happened to be when his contract was about to run out. We then gave him about £60,000 a week to do not a lot for a year. He keeps his head down and is played through the middle then there's a player there somewhere. I doubt Alan Pardew is the man to unlock his potential. Frees up wages to improve other places and we have 3 other strikers, 2 of which are arguably better than Wickham. I'm behind this

We need to free up wages, after his little golden spell and new contract he's supposedly one of our top earners. Makes sense, I think he'd be good if played through the middle, Poyet put him there due to lack of options and it worked, but he hasn't really done much or developed in four or so years. Time will tell, hopefully we're bringing in new faces in other areas

Would say so. Not a chance Decent purchases so far and we've barely made a dent on our transfer cash yet. It looks like we've sat down and thought about who we're going to buy, and have realised we need to start spending a bit more money. Three more decent signings and we'll finish top half. You sound like a Mackem

Fancy Barca to come back and win this comfortably second half. Blind looks quite good as a centre half

He turned down PSG, signing for Sunderland and supported them since he was a child apparently. I can dream...

Di Maria, going nowhere

Darren Lewis reporting that Villa are in talks to sign Adebayor

Congerton link. Took him to Hamburg or something. I've never even heard of him tbh.

Aye, he'll be in here saying he was the next Beckenbauer until he picked up a thigh strain in August 2012 any second. Re Evans I wouldn't spit on the daft c*** if he was on fire personally, I've got morals and recognise my responsibility to be a role model to kids and that. What did he do like?

Put 20 quid on at 9/2 with SkyBet

I've fifty quid on with my Man Utd supporting mate that he is. What makes you say this?

I'd have him back at Sunderland in a heartbeat for that price. Best centre half I've seen play for us bar Bould.

"I'm proving that there still is loyalty in football" he says, with his 8m release clause. God, what a c***. Darren Bent Karma.... Not really. For a start, you didn't have to accept the huge amount of money we offered you for Bent, but you did. We had to accept it, as he had a release clause. Do that or keep a player who'd quite clearly had his head turned. That clause didn't have to be put in the contract but it was. Same scenario. Both will move/did move for money. Both will make/has made a pigs ear of what could have been a fantastic career.

Is he captain now?

"I'm proving that there still is loyalty in football" he says, with his 8m release clause. God, what a c***. Darren Bent Karma....

That's sickening. Delph to Man City's bench. Now an England regular, captain of a Premier League club. A club which has nursed him through serious injury and played him despite receiving stick. That's just disgusting.

I wouldn't count on it. Saying that Leicester probably have better players to fit his system than we did. Vardy, Schlupp, Mahrez, Albrighton... Dat pace on the counter
