Take no notice he also thought Zaha & co would run as ragged

To be quite honest so did I, if it wasn't for his Palace connections a lot more people on here would admit to him being a really good player.

Not really doesn’t create or score enough goals plus his step over has been worked out now. No where near worth what Palace value him at.

Well he has been out of the team for a long time through injury. Palace would be doomed without him.

Think they are doomed with him this season.

He had a really poor game for them against us, which in itself is unusual as he normally plays well against us, but even so he created their only goal. I still think that Drinkwater is an upgrade on what we have at our disposal at the moment I agree that Palace over value Zaha.,but he is still a good player and I wonder how many would have him in our team if it weren't for his Palace connection.

Your not giving the Albion enough credit, he got nothing out of Montoya, moved over and Barnardo kept him quiet through the middle no change out of Dunk and co.
This......back four, no doubt following CH’s carefully thought out strategy for dealing with the Bambi-like twunt, did an absolute number on him, reducing him to a petulant, fouling crybaby.
It was beautiful to watch.

He's the sort of player West Ham sign on crazy wages. I don't see him as upgrade on what we have at all.

He's obviously a good player, or has been but can't help but think that this wouldn't work as CH would want a player who has been drilled in our formation and understands what's needed in terms of work ethic. It will also slow the development of Yves who I think is going to force his way into being a regular in the starting 11 by season end. If we had an injury crisis in midfield then it would make sense. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't disrupt things.

I agree about Yves as I rate him highly but people on here are saying he wouldnt improve our choices or squad which is utter rubbish. I think that he would push all of our midfield choices for selection and thus up their contribution even more than now.

I’ll make a prediction. If and it’s a big IF we decide to strengthen central midfield in the January window the player we bring in will almost certainly be unknown to the posters on this fine forum, and will not come from one of our rivals!
