We're too proud at times. Yes we are currently a bigger club than Bournemouth and yes we have more quality without a shadow of a doubt now but not everyone has been ignoring the way we've played over the last year. A lot of people don't like Cabaye but I genuinely think his performances are due to the tactics (or lack of) we set up with. His role seems to be the same as everyone else to run around like a headless chicken and win everything rather than floating and dictating the game. Wilshere will know full well that bournemouths style of play will suit him more than us, rightly or wrongly they try and play football and he would take them to the next level. I just can't see him suiting our gung Ho approach. It's a shame because we've genuinely had an unbelievable window and Wilshere would be the icing on the cake!

We're the Arthur over ere!

Odds on loan deals don't count,so will the stake be repayed,?

I know,but will they repay the stake?

Wants to stay in England. So back to where we were first thing this morning. Bournmouth or Palace.

Milan are back in the pot supposedly now. This is going to run until the death and I fear we might well miss out on this one.

SSN just said Bournemouth are now favourite and a report from Palace training ground says Pardew still working hard to get a mid-fielder, whether Wilshire or someone else. Must be a difficult choice: do they keep going for Wilshire or give up on him and go for Everton's McArthur?

The right place at the right time
