I think Cabaye will fit in well with our new style. I don't think the last three games are as a result of him being out of the team, more that the team has started firing. I like Ledley, but I think Cabaye is a better player.

I agree but pretending it's genius when Ledley has only come in again since Jedi was sold is overdoing it. And you could also say that Puncheon is required at number 10 so even more need for Ledley there and less options.

Of course you have to be flexible and adapt but pretending Pardew sat there this summer and planned Jimmac and Ledley to be the answer is nonsense. We held on vs Mboro and dominated a very strange situation of a struggling Stoke team.

Cabaye will up his game now there's 2 better options in Townsend and Benteke showing themselves properly to pass to.

You talk sh1t pal. He always played Jedi before Ledley. Last season, this season. Now Jedi's gone, in comes Ledley. If we were offered £4 mil for Ledley and not Jedi it would be Ledley gone and Jedi winning balls but not able to link up with those around as effectively. Ledley would've been sold for less than £4 mil and I suppose the panic after selling Jedi and not getting another midfielder in and bringing the higher class Flamini never really happened because we had that McLedley partnership Pardew kept secret during 24 games with 2 wins. Yeah right.

COYP

Yeah why not rewrite history. Of course Ledley was always above Jedi in the pecking order and before Jedi was sold he wasn't actually playing on the pitch at all. How have we had it so wrong and Pardew manage to keep this magnificent midfield pairing so secret for so long, but ready to unleash it on Mboro and Stoke. You talk utter sh1t at times but i shouldn't be surprised with your memory going no further back than 8 days.

Great post, and great point. In answer, because McArthur is in fact the one who is by far our most gifted central midfielder, well maybe not, but certainly influential, just about ahead of Punch who unfortunately is too inconsistent to gain the accolade (if he was as consistent as JM I think uncle Woy would've come knocking).

Cabaye does have an element of the "when he's not in the team" factor, then again so did KG. I too await the game where he wins it single handedly for us - he should be able to shine against some of the poorer teams at least! I think the over-inflated transfer prices this season masks the fact that he should be doing better for a 10M player (this seasons 20M!)
