I was a big fan of Cabaye at Lille and thought he could have been even better for Newcastle with some tweaks but was still at a high level and thinking that he was bad (?) definitely the more surprising opinion. He was universially praised most of the time, became France starter and PSG grabbing him suggests some quality also.
For Palace though, Pardew notwithstanding and Jedinak being there, playing somewhat similar to what he did at Newcastle should be just great I think.
