A 100% upgrade on the two wide men we have, he's more direct with a far better end product, but it will take some work too get it over the line that's if he wants to come.

....and as a Londoner he will like the red and blue army. That should swing it

No uncertainty, AP still has two years left on his contract

Surely he should back himself to be good enough to play even if we don't sell Bolasie

.... Why is life so difficult?!

We were always going to struggle to make signings this summer. Whatever we'd have 'settled for' before the season started, in the eyes of the world, we've gone backwards. Our slump in 2016, no matter how good the first half of the season was, is what people remember and there's no kudos in coming second in the FA cup, particularly when you didn't give a great account of yourselves on the day.

We have the worst infrastructure of just about any team in the PL and a good proportion of the Championship. We're neither a fashionable nor a 'big' club and are famously parsimonious when it comes to our transfer dealings. Pardew divides opinion and is known for being inconsistent. When you're not looking at us through red and blue tinted specs, we're not a particularly attractive prospect. And before anyone mentions Cabaye, he'd fallen out of favour at PSG and wanted regular games to get called up for the Euros, plus he knew AP; in other circumstances, he'd never have looked twice at us.
