Does he still have the quality though? To which I would say we just don't know - he hasn't played for 18 months has he? Whilst you don't lose that ability overnight at the age he is you need regular football.


Good point; there are still people fretting about Chamakh's match fitness and he wasn't out for anything like that and has been back for quite a few games.

This was my only concern too, but surely Parish won't make the same mistake twice after what happened with Aruna Dindane if anyone remembers him?

Yes I do.
He was a Holloway signing from a Qatari side and I think he was over 30 when he signed.
A few years before he joined us, Paul Hart signed him on 'Loan' for Portsmouth.

Not sure you can call Ameobi a mistake. Pardew says he was brought in mainly as a coaching option more so than as a player. AP also credited his attitude and influence towards the squad as another factor for his signing. Also did a job to cover injuries the couple of sub appearances he had

I think Adebayor is out to prove that he can still cut it and wants to make a statement. If we get him on loan just to the end of the season and he puts a hatful of goals away for us that keeps us in the top ten it will be a job well done.

Chamakh has suffered with injuries though. Adebayor will need to get match fit, but surely every player is different when returning to full fitness? Did he not get frozen out at Spurs before and then come in for Sherwood and make an instant impact for them?

although he's going to be a way off match fitness, by not playing much in the last couple of years he's probably extended his career by the same amount because his body has had a rest and not been subject to the rigours of training and match days. I was skeptical of this theory at first but was told so by a sports therapist who was working on an injury I had at the time unless she was just trying to make me feel better about it

Not sure why speculation is continuing regarding Adebayor when Pardew dismissed the rumours ages ago - Alan is not interested in him.

This is what I posted :

"Pardew is now saying that Adebayor is "In the mix" and that generally Palace have to work within a small market"

I certainly did NOT mention anything about been "Informed" about this so please don't allow scurrilous allegations to affect your judgement.
