Don't think it will be a case of who to drop so much. There's time to see who deserves the positions the most. Also yala, wilf, punch, Townsend are all different players and have different strengths and weaknesses so we can see who is best fit for opponents defence. Bolaise has great strength, zaha is very skilful, Townsend has a good long range shot. Think it's a great signing, the variety in the options we will have will make us even stronger now.

Of all the signings, if this happens , what a player. I've always been a fan of his and he was one of those that I always thought "if only". If this happens then we really will be an attacking force. I won't mine so much if Bolaise gets played up front knowing we've got Wilf and Townsend running defenders ragged.

Great point ! No reason why they can't all play. Townsend right yala left and wilf in the middle all 3 causing chaos with there skill. Plus I believe zahas tricks would result in lots of free kick central and he has the quick feet to skip inside and open up shots.

Question is who we drop to play him? Zaha? Do we play Townsend in that centre attacking role? 38 matches x 2 wingers = 76 matches. If you were to split those equally it's 25 each before cup games. That is not too bad but you know one of them will get injured for a while. Zaha hasn't for a while. There's then coming on as sub, playing centrally, which I hope Pardew doesn't do with Bolasie anymore.

Whilst we are feeling slightly positive, it may also take the pressure off of Sako a bit, and he could start to become the decent player many know he can be!!!

Wonder if we'll give him a release clause if he does sign. if so, £12m is no 'steal'. Somebody will just nab him if he performs.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Or two of them running the defence to bits before the other comes on fresh as a daisy for the last half hour. Great options. Great signing!!

Has anyone in the league got better options on the wing than us if this comes off?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |
