He'd have walked by now, if true, knowing that his old club would take him back and that player power would ensure that he could end up back there, without too much grief.

Another wonderful Pardew signing.

Up there with McCarthy, Adebayor, Sanogo, Lee, Mutch, Wickham.

Good.

Bit harsh on Wickham, who was very good when fit, and Lee, who was really signed as a squad back up. Sanogo was definitely s**t though fortunately a loan signing, Adebayor was just odd (but short term) and McCarthy was just plain pointless.

What concerns me with some of the Pardew signings, is that it seems like he never saw them play. Mutch was good enough when he was at Cardiff, but its pretty clear that his time at QPR really reduced his ability and skill level. Adebayor was unfit, Sanogo wasn't Premiership material and McCarthy was worse than our back up keeper.

If anyone's curious:

"Comme vous le savez je prends rarement la parole dans les médias, mais je vous avoue que je suis surpris par ce que j'ai pu lire hier sur footmercato. En effet, ce dernier a révélé qu'un protocole d'accord avait été conclu entre l'Olympique de Marseille et moi même pour un retour cet été.
Je suis étonné de voir que footmercato connait mieux mon avenir que moi. Comme je l'ai déjà évoqué il y a quelques semaines : malgré mon attachement à l'Olympique de Marseille il n'y a à l'heure actuelle aucun contact entre les dirigeants et moi.
Ce qui m'importe aujourdhui c'est mon présent et il est à Crystal Palace. Je me focalise sur mon club et notre maintien en Premier League.
Ma seule préoccupation sont les efforts que mes coéquipiers et moi même devons fournir pour atteindre nos objectifs.

"As you know I rarely take the floor in the media, but I confess that I am surprised by what I read yesterday on footmercato. Indeed, the latter has revealed that a memorandum of agreement was concluded between the olympique de Marseille and myself for a return this summer.
I'm surprised that footmercato knows more about my future than me. As I have already mentioned a few weeks ago: despite my commitment to the olympique de Marseille there is currently no contact between the leaders and me.
What is important to me today it's my present and he's in crystal palace. I focuses on my club and our maintenance in premier league.
My only concern are the efforts that my teammates and myself must provide in order to achieve our goals."

Even if he does want to go back, at least he seems to want things to be kept quiet.
