Paying for Cabaye Sell - Guediora (£2m), Bannan (£2m), Williams (very sadly)(£2m) Clyne Sell On Fee - (£2.5m) CPFC 10 - (£1.5m rising to £4.5m) Wages From three player sales - £50k pw released CPFC 10 - £50k pw. So for a potential net outlay of up to £4.5m in transfer fees (assuming all three above are sold) and £50k pw in wages extra (£100k pw) - we get a quality player. Just my thoughts.
mayday?

If Cabaye comes in, is that the end for Jedinak? Suggestions that Jedinak was unhappy at the club.

Let's be realistic, in the current climate Cabaye is a £100,000 a week player and we can't avoid paying that sort of wage unless we want to move to the next level. The alternative is we take a massive gamble on an unproven talent who steps up to the plate straight away, which is risky at best. Market forces dictate that if demand for proven, established top 10 internationals outstrips supply then bullets have to be bitten if we are to build on what the board and Pardew have done, and their vision for the club.

The fact it is on the BBC suggests it is very near to done. They aren't the average tabloid fare of reporting rumours. Normally if it is on there the deal is either as good as done or can only be hijacked. As far as I am concerned, it's not speculation any more: we have had a bid accepted and we have agreed personal terms in principal. Yes someone could still gazump us but think it would be unlikely now. Cabaye - even if it is for the reported £100k a week (which would be a lot more than I would hope we would be paying) - represents a massive statement of intent from the club about where we want to go. And the fact that he is willing to come here - a man who was expecting to be playing champions league football this season - shows that we have a burgeoning reputation. Yes it's a lot of money. Yes it's a bit of a gamble. But he is a quality player and it is genuinely very exciting.
Amazing times...about to sign the best player we have ever signed. Who would have thought that after Hillsborough
I know what you are saying but Cabaye may be crap for us. Time will tell.

I've got to the point where I don't really care if he signs or not. If we have agreed a fee with PSG but he still hasn't signed that suggests to me that he would rather play for a bigger club and we don't want anyone playing for us who isn't 100% committed to the cause.

The significance of us beating Swansea on the last day and clinching 10th should not be underestimated. It makes us look - as a top-half club and with an improved league position on the year before - a much more attractive proposition. It seems silly but 11th or 12th and we may have been nowhere near Cabaye. The psychological advantage of saying 'we're a top-half club' is important.

I agree to an extent but I also believe that some players (not many, granted) are motivated by more than money. There appears to be a really great team spirit at the club right now, Dann is living in undoubtedly the greatest city on earth and he certainly isn't guaranteed to even get in to the Everton side. Jagielka and Stones are surely first choice up there at the moment? And as I said before, with the addition of Cabaye and maybe two others (partner for Dann and a 20+ striker) we will finish above Everton- so success also has to be a factor for him, surely?

Thing is though Kerms if we go down its hardly likely we wont shift Cabaye in the transfer market sharpish with a good sell on - he's no Andy Dorman or Owen Garvan

Sky Bet has suspended bets on Cabaye signing for Crystal Palace after a flurry of large bets on odds as short as 1/10.
Update Sky Sources are telling us that France international Yohan Cabaye is on the verge of joining Crystal Palace from PSG. So exciting!! Edited by NonSlipMatt (08 Jul 2015 12.41pm)
