This one has gone quiet on all fronts. He's definitely not going to liverpool, chelsea were never after him. So it's down to us, west ham and west brom i think.


Apparently he wants to stay in London with his young family so hopefully rules out Pulis.

lets hope he signs for us.

If we do sign cabaye I wouldn't be surprised if Austin followed shortly after. It would be a strikers dream to play infront of someone of Cabayes quality!

If Gestede is going for 8/9 million ( yesterday's papers), mings has gone for 8, Kane would probably be 25+ , sterling is 40 million. Lallana was 25 , shaw was over 20, McCormack went for 11, zaha went for 11ish.
How is Austin not worth 15 million?

Unfortunately that's the market. He's not worth £15m, but we'd have to pay £15m to get him. If every pencil in Britain was fixed at £20, i'd have to spend £20 on a pencil. Value is relative. Which is why we might have to look abroad to buy our pencils at a normal rate


Which is why maybe the rumours are now turning to Hull's N'Doye snd QPR's Philips? For £8-10 m we could get a decent target man plus a good goalscoring wide player? Put the two together might add 15 goals a season, for less cash upfront and lower wages?


I don't think they will add 15 goals a season, as other players that have contributed goals would need to be dropped in order for them to play.
Who would you drop for these 2?

Well, maybe N'Doye could play the loan striker role, but I agree It would be more difficult to slot Philips in without dropping Bolassie or Zaha, which personally I would't want to see

Wasn't knocking you mate. But it doesn't matter who we sign. I'd still start Murray first game. WHOEVER comes in has to earn their place.

Agreed.

If that happened and we kept dann, we'd be looking at top half definitely, possible top 7

I just wonder if we don't have Remy lined up and Cabaye is the domino that tips the stack. Things have been very, very quiet on the Remy front...really, not many rumours for an available player of his stature yet we now appear to be second favourites to get him in the betting. I can't help wondering if Remy is waiting to see if Cabaye signs before making his own mind up about Palace. The two have a lot in common; both have played for Pardew before (and with each other), and both are on the fringes of the French squad and wanting to impress before Euro 16 next year. That means there's no point either of them going to a big club where they might not have a central role. I think if we get one, we may get both and if Cabaye doesn't sign, we won't get either. If we do somehow sign Cabaye and Remy, other than missing the entire season because I'll spend the next ten months banging one out, we are going to be looking at competing for a Euro League position.

Syd stop it now your getting me all excited, not the thought of you banging one out, but my summer wish list was always as follows:

Cabaye Austin & Remy.
I think though I would prefer to win a cup than to Finish in the top 7.

It would just be nice to have ONE major trophy. And please no one come back with ZDS. I said major trophy.

I disagree.

How do they earn their place if they're not playing ? IF we spend big on someone then they've already earned their place, otherwise we wouldn't pay a big fee? We can't make big signings then leave them benched, we're not a Chelsea or a Man City.

Lovely thoughts, but I can't help thinking: cost.

I can see us buying one £10M+ player; but 2, or 3? Splashing out £20M-30M on 2 players with a hike in wages needs to pay for itself somehow. So...

Extra TV matches if we perform well; running up losses that we know will be paid under the following season's TV deal; sponsorship contract not in line with Championship rates like the cruddy Neteller deal; proper nationwide merchandising and Cabaye shirt sales.

There, business case made. Get 'em both in!

PS Remy more likely over Austin for the reasons you give. I can't see us buying both. I would rather we lured Friend from Borough and got a decent CB.

If we base form on the end of last season. Who will we bring in better than how Murray was playing?
No one.

If we get Cabaye and Remy in early enough then they can impress and earn their spot in pre-season.....if they dont Gel in time then we have plenty of cover for both positions till they find their feet.
