I've heard that we are within a chance of signing Sissoko before deadline.

This is madness. £25m + for a player who turns up every third game and isn't really what we need. We should still be looking to spend whatever is left on a proper creative CAM and someone who can cover LB and LM and not blowing it all on this lazy t***
Is this Pardew's ego, pursuing a player he got for less than a tenth of the money at Newcastle?
I think it may well be

My mate seems to know that cpfc put a bid of around 27m for sissoko. Whether he sign is another matter, as other are interested everton, wba but been told that sissoko is a target for cpfc.

There is a certainly interest in sissoko. I asked my mate. He said that were preparing an offer of around 27m. I think Juventus had an offer of 20m flat out rejected last week.

I don't think Sisoko will be going anywhere unless Newcastle drop their valuation. Palace will not be offering as much as £27m. Nobody will.
Juventus are likely to offer the most for him as they have been keen on him from the start and have the Zaza money to spend.
I will be very surprised to see Sisoko in a Palace shirt any time soon, unless as I said Newcastle drop their price dramatically. That I don't see happening.
