Bournemouths playing style is more suited to him than us. He likes to collect the ball from the back four not chase Damo style punts so if its style he will choose them but after seeing the quality of our signings he may well choose us. Hope he speaks to Chammy about us that may well swing it.

So does Cabaye and Jimmac like to collect the ball deep. It's because Delaney is always playing and the lack of positional awareness and top prem ability that the ball gets whacked. I also blame Pardew for this but he has the opportunity now to address it more easily as the reasons mentioned have been addressed.

I think what the manager says in terms of team and individual plans swing it more and Bournemouth's a long drive from a Barnet.

The upside of signing him is far outweighed by all of his issues. He is not what we need. Let's hope he goes somewhere else.

He will end up at Bournemouth under Arsène Wenger's instruction. He will want him away from London to concentrate on football and not London life IE clubing and doing what he shouldn't

Not at all, they came with one intention, that was to nick a goal, then to park the bus, that is exactly what they did, they had 6-7 players literally parked in their 6 yard box during the second half, the only time they didn't, Dann scored, they won't be able to do that for the entire season, and stay in the premier league.

Aaahhh,but that's what Pards has been referring to when mentioning the word 'transition' its the style of play...whereas most numpties on here refer to it as us just staying up and that we should be grateful for it (causing them to go in meltdown) over the word.

With the likes of Benteke, Remy, hopefully Racon and Wiltshire we'll be far better suited to playing a more fluid style of football rather than the direct one we have up until now.

You can only play the system that the quality of your players allows...
