Pardew cannot call Cabaye world class at this moment in time, the transfer is a somewhat gamble. it reminds me a little of the Arteta transfer. Arteta wasnt always world class for Everton but you knew he had quality.

Arsenal could indeed make him look a better player but Wenger needs to get him playing more good games than bad ones. We seem to get stuck with one good game in 20 from him. If Arsenal are going to pay £20 million for him then it's one of the worst transfers of the summer but around the £12 million mark for a player that becomes as good as his first season then you have one of the best signings of the summer.
The actual problem now is getting Yohan Cabaye out of Newcastle for less than £20 million, papers claim Cabaye will force his way out and force Ashley to lower the asking price by refusing to play, they're so wrong. Mike Ashley will let Cabaye rot in the reserves before he's made a fool of and continue to fine him. Cabaye should have known better than to play Mike Ashley.
On topic of this I'd like to thank Carlos Tevez for paving the way for players to do what they fancy when they want to move elsewhere, real professionalism by Carlos. Cabaye and now Bale seemingly.
