Palace are enjoying one heck of a revival under former Newcastle manager Pardew and that continued with the 2-0 win over West Brom.
Cabaye was a surprise signing for the London side and cost them £10million plus a rumoured £80,000 a week in wages.
But Pardew feels it's totally worth it to have a player in the Roy Keane mould in his squad,
"...there’s no player who can knock on my door and say, ‘I want the same money as Cabaye’. "If you increase the wage structure because someone has come in and they don’t deliver, then you have got a problem. But they can all come and knock on my door on Monday and ask for more money. Saying, ‘I want Yohan’s money’ and they’ll get a simple answer, ‘You’re not as good as him’. “He can smell what to do at the right time. It’s very important for a manager to have a lieutenant like that. Like Roy Keane at Man United.”Until we see Cabaye chasing after referees or growing a magnificent beard we'll hold our judgement on how close to Keane he really is.
