Skeletor Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Not too fussed tbh, he's a great player technically, but the premier was too fast for him, he struggled to keep up in a lot of games. That said, I would like to see him playing under a footballing coach. Our style under the fraud didn't do him any favours. I actually think he excels when he's the big fish in the small pond. He hasn't made waves at PSG playing under Blanc nor France with Deschamps. They're apparently good managers. Play Cabaye in that advanced position like Pards did from Sep-Jan and Cabaye will do the business. That's where he seems to like to play. Being the main man.

Astroblack Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Blanc never played him in an advanced role, he was always the cleaner and the one to keep things ticking over behind more advanced midfielders for France. Yeah exactly. I don't think he likes that. He prefers to score and create goals. He knows Pardew will play him there for Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly. I don't think he likes that. He prefers to score and create goals. He knows Pardew will play him there for Palace. From what I recall he was used mostly as a sitting player for Pardew as well. It used to really frustrate me seeing him playing behind Tiote in a lot of the games. Whether he was told to sit back or just does it naturally I don't know, but that's where he usually ended up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pards teams love to play attacking football on the front foot so it must have been the other one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he playing as some sort of number 10 with Anita and Tiote playing in midfield? I always felt that was his most effective role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll go there if it's his best option. Villa might be a risk he can't afford at his age. Pardew? Shit, Pardew fucking loves him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've never been close to getting into the Champions League. A lot of French people have probably never heard of them. He'd be better off going back to Lille if his only ambition is to play regular football so he can play for France in the Euros Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I can't understand why only Villa and Palace are in for him? Aside from Chelsea and maybe Arsenal surely any other Premier league team could benefit from him. Even Arsenal imo Not a chance, just like Sissoko he'd ride the bench. True, but riding the bench at Arsenal invariably means he'd still get 35 matches on account of all the injuries they'd suffer at CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Also is it not very plausible that the papers have assumed he wants to play regular football and linked him to Palace just because he used to play under Pardew? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I wasn't especially gutted when he left due to the inevitability of it all - in fact, his sale was probably the moment it clicked for me that I was apathetic as opposed to having an emotional, tangible support for the club (which soon morphed into having a desire to lose). But I'd be mortified if he went to Palace, fuck that would absolutely stink. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
