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

 

Alan Shearer is one of the all time top 3 Premier League strikers, but right now I'd say Victor Anichebe is better than he is.

 

Just because a player was good doesn't mean they still are. And putting my grumpy old man hat on, bloody hate the 'Premier League era' bollocks. There's a hundred years of football casually dismissed because people can't be bothered to know football history.

 

For what it's worth, I'd say on recent form there's not much difference between Hart and Cech.

Football is so broken; player leaves a team that's 5th at Christmas for a big team who never plays him. Comes back to a lesser side a year and a half later. Don't even think I can handle the injustice of that, should've just done everything possible to keep him for another half season, signed a striker in January and moved on. For some reason Cabaye irks me more than any other thing we've mismanaged under Ashley.

Club kept to their word for once in letting him go. Daft like, but suppose I can see why he wanted to test himself at the top level in the CL.

 

No idea why he seems to rate Pardew or why he'd wanna go to Palace.

Must be a London thing with his agent finding no other interested parties. I can't believe that he'd want to play for Pardew as a deciding factor.

Why?

 

Cabaye is a pretty good footballer, as demonstrated by PSG wanting him in the first place. As a regular France international, I'd imagine he'd still have options at European teams in the CL, rather than just Crystal Palace. He basically went on strike when with us to try to get a move to Arsenal, and Crystal Palace can only be a comedown compared to them. So I'm going to conclude that London is still a go-er for him and his missus, and more so than a CL team in a different country, but Arsenal mustn't be interested, as mustn't Chelsea. So he's happy to join Palace in London and prepared to come out with some spiel about liking Pardew if its good for PR. I can't believe that a midfielder as skilful as Cabaye rates Pardew as a football brain.

There's the Euro at the end of the season, if Cabaye wants to have a chance to make the squad he needs to be a definite starter.

 

While that's true, do you think the French management will take in many Crystal Palace games? Midfielders at French teams in the CL would have higher profile exposure. It also sounds like a high profile club will sign Morgan Schneiderlin. Even without it, Southampton are higher profile than Crystal Palace.
