Deckard 13 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 3 years and then he will be off to MLS. He stands head and shoulders above anything they have at the moment, it's actually quite weird. I'm trying to think of a stranger transfer in terms of a player being so much better than the team he signed for. Especially of someone who would be considered in their prime. Tevez to WH maybe?

Mr. Snrub Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Tevez to WH maybe? Him and Mascherano weren't good enough for West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest n4e Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I think Cabaye was always rated a little too highly on here, same with Debuchy. I was never that bothered about him leaving, we got an alright deal, we could have and should have commanded more money from PSG but still I think we had him in his prime. He might have a good season with Palace with the Euro's coming next summer, after that though he'll be on the decline. This season is make or break for him, if he does well he will get one last tournament with France. In all honesty it's a massive gamble from Crystal Palace and a big price and no doubt a big chunk out of their wages. On balance it's not a chance I would take. I honestly think he'll be nothing special there, especially with Pardew as manger who will revert to bypassing him and the midfield with his long ball tactics soon enough. Proven Premier league quality under a manager who he played his best football under is not much of a gamble for me. It's a good signing for them as much as some will try and pretend it isn't.

Guest Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 At the time, Owen to Newcastle. 25 years old, England centre-forward, had done well in Spain...to Newcastle who'd just finished 14th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm not arsed but I am surprised a better club didn't come in for him. I'm not. The top clubs can afford to buy players with his attributes plus some pace, height and athleticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Even that fee is not unreasonable even though it is higher than we have ever paid for a player since Ashley took over. Is it not 10.5m "rising to" 13m based on.. stuff? Cabella at 12m is close at least Only Shearer and Owen have been signed by us for over 13m though.
