His attitude is either appalling or Pardew doesn't know how to use him. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle. I think market value, you're looking at about £2m-3m for Marveaux.

You're right. I spent the same amount in Asda last night. Loose change! You must have kitted yourself out in George.

£8.5m is not quite substantial.

£8.5m.

Why are we not funding this?!

Said no woman ever.

You're not throwing a match if you sell a player, fucking hell how ludicrous. We should still beat Sunderland and Norwich if our manager shows balls.

It isn't as though Cabaye would have a £5m spare to pay us to buy out his deal.

Yeah Mr Pardew! Science!

I don't think we would sack him if we finished outside the top ten, as if our ambitions are that lofty.

Ben Arfa wide right or not at all. Still don't understand why he was removed from that position.

Thought this one would go through still but Cabaye will still need to be replaced and he won't be.

We will always be part of "the rest" under Ashley's regime. Can't wait for the excuses from Pardew. Fact is, we have shown zero ambition during Cabaye's time here. He's a quality player and we're a club full of potential being ran by jokers.

It is a shame that we won't get an answer as to what Joe Kinnear meant by no one will leave this window.

Did Kinnear say that before or after Jonas left? Don't answer that...

If they want him badly, they'll pay what we ask for him. I think our reported valuation is a fair one. If they don't meet that, then I think Cabaye should question himself what kind of a role they see for him going forward.

I like Santon, I think the criticism on here can be over the top at times. I don't think either Haidara or Dummett are ready to step-up and it remains to be seen if they're even as good as Santon.

Is this why you took so long at the bar? Writing that bollocks?

Carrick in his prime, definitely would swap. Not now though. Rooney is a quality player. He's worth that to Man United easily.

Great signing that.

Just taking pressure off his own team I guess as this is normally the point of the season that their title challenge drifts off.

He has to think also that they can afford any player and there are better centre mids in the world. He might play until the summer but I am assuming he expects to have a France career beyond the World Cup. A move may be good from his point of view but PSG is not the most stable of options. Money wise it's a good move for a 28 year old I'd bet.

Why did I know Taylor would be involved?

I do like Wenger whinging about Chelsea selling a player to Man United, a direct rival. Erm.. Cole, Nasri, Toure, van Persie, Clichy, Adebayor.... Plenty more.

AS Roma have came straight out and denied reports that they are in talks to sell Pjanic to anyone.
