Manager Alan Pardew has hinted that he is done with his business in the transfer market this summer but now according to surprise reports from Sky Italia, it has been claimed that the 54-year old is planning a swoop for Davide Santon.
Dwight Gayle is unlikely to feature as he looks set for a move away.
“They bring teams onto them and then they spring on you with the pace of Bolasie, Zaha, and Puncheon…”
Jack Grealish could be in the Villa squad for the first time this season.
I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in January after a period of ill health and found myself waylaid in hospital as our FA Cup 5th Round showdown with Premier League Aston Villa came around. The 19-year-old midfielder made a goal-scoring return from a hamstring injury for the U21 team on Monday.
“One lesson we must take away [from the Arsenal loss] is their ability under pressure to retain the ball, we have improved on that, our training is geared towards it, but Arsenal were magnificent at that”.
Pardew said: “He’s very much our player and someone who has been brilliant for this football club”. “I think we can do that”. Should they push their midfield higher up the pitch to negate his effect on the game, it could leave gaps in between the midfield and defence for Cabaye to release his team mates into. The two games they’ve played they’ve been cohesive and Tim will be pleased with that. “So it makes for really exciting times at Crystal Palace right now”, McArthur added. Only two clashes have seen fewer goals per game on average (minimum 10 meetings).

“It’s good that the gaffer has put faith in me to play the number nine role and that’s where I should be play”.
