you know what...even if he doesnt end up with us, at least weve got the bollocks to make such an offer for a player. its a sensible offer given what he could be worth in3 years time.

I don't think I've ever agreed with you before but I do now Whether or not we sign him is better to see this that being linked with bloody Jordan Rhodes again!!
Another exciting pre-season ....... |

exactly...if we are going after proper players and end up with lesser players its better than not trying. i dont beleive we will get this belguim guy whose name i cannot be bothered to spell, or saido berahino or andros townend...at least were in the market for proper PL players rather than rhodes/friend/bumphukneverheardof

I reckon this is just Parish flashing his wad so that other, more realistic targets know we mean business.

Whether Palace are being played by the player is another matter. But it is clear the willingness to spend big if needs be is there. Surely, in of itself that is good news, even if this transfer does not come off? Or did I miss something and we didn't sign Cabaye last year? Edited by NickinOX (28 Jun 2016 10.52pm)

yes, just seen that he's joining Chelsea. Credit to Parish and the board for coming so close to signing a player of this quality. Unfortunately, we will always be facing competition for players like this, no matter what we offer the selling club and the player. Landing Cabaye was a real coup. Of course, his experience with Pardew was a major factor in his signing. We just have to hope that, if we keep attempting to sign players like this, now and then we will be successful.
