It wouldn't even surprise me if we agree a deal with Arsenal and ask them to wait for the last day of the transfer window to finalise it, so they can claim they didn't have enough time to attract a replacement/reinvest the money, such is my distrust of them. .....

What does it say?

I dont know, but I have my opinion and your post seemed very much like a case of ''dont blame Cabaye no matter what because he's too good for us''. Answer this then, if he is refusing to play will you still back him because ''he deserves better''?

Yeah amazing he agreed to play 90 minutes of Football for his weekly £45,000 wage for a long as he did. What a tortured sole.. Seriously get a fucking grip. I can understand why he wouldnt want to play under Pardew. But he signed a very lucrative contract of which there are 3 yeara remaining, asking to leave is fine, refusing to play isnt.

so does every football club in the world don't delude yourself that its any other way. my opinion however I base off the who benefits line of logic, who benefits from Cabaye not playing? Ashley? not really if anything it hurts the clubs bargaining position on Cabaye as Arsenal can play the he doesn't want to be at your club line and are you really going to put up with a want away player lines to lower the price. Cabaye benefits if it forces us to sell him if he has said fuck that I'm not playing because I want to go to Arsenal in the hopes it will force us to sell him which nets him champions league football and a nice increase in his wage packet-he doesn't give half a shit about how much we get as a club. IF Ashley wants him sold and not to play, then that's what will happen (and is happening) Even if we get £15million for Cabaye, Ashley has made £10million profit. That's his reasoning right there. I'm not claiming I know whats happening or laying all the blame at Cabayes door at the moment. But jdckelly makes some good points and your response doesnt deal with any of them. It makes sense that Cabaye is a less valuable asset to the club if he's involved in a public fued with it. So why create a false fued and devalue your own player? Because we'll make a profit anyway isnt a reasonabe argument. We'll want as much as possible for him and to get as much as possible requires a strong bargaining position. There's also the question of why would Cabaye not speak out if he didnt refuse to play. I suppose we'll see if he does.

I'd question anything that comes from the club at the moment. But I suppose there's nothing stopping Cabaye from denying this. IF he has refused to play, we should just stop paying him. At some point he'll either be sold for the kind of money we're after, or he'll give up himself when the cash dries up. At the end of the day its a world cup year and he's on a reasonably long contract. We dont have to bow down to his bullshit.

Shola is starting? Holy fucking shit, this is nearly 2014. Absolutely no reason not to start Gouffran. Dont care what people say about Ameobi holding the ball up, his first touch is so bad he cant hold the ball up efdectively anyway.

Short term its definitely an advantage considering neither manager is good enough to adapt his style to different players. Though long term giving Allardyce such control/resources (or Pardew for that matter) will fuck them up completely. Obviously Ashleys doing a great job fucking us up right now, but should he finally fuck off we're in a very good state for someone else to move us forward. You wont be able to say the same about West Ham with the utter shit they have on massive contracts.

Fucking Bent man, him up front with Cisse would be dysfunctional in the extreme.

Merson's such a tit.

In a country without an insane tax rate that's probably 60-70k/w for the equivalent take home pay? I mean, I know it's not going to happen so it's stupid to dream up ways in which it's feasible. But it could be. Still hasn't been confirmed but if its true that France will move to a 75% tax his £100k per week wage will end up with the same take home pay as £46k per week would here.

If he'd rather waste a year of his career and miss his last opportunity to play at a World Cup so he can get a bigger signing on fee next summer then his attitude is appalling.

Sell to buy lads, sell to buy.. Absolutely nothing wrong with that sentence, Pards talking sense for once.

That confused me, think Ian might be right in that he means we don't just go in and do whatever it takes to sign a player. Real Madrid dictate transfers, they want a player, he's basically theirs simple as that. But yeah Pardew's not exactly eloquent like

Great, the definition of panic buying! Think he's talking in general, and simply trying to say that this is normally the crunch week where clubs either get their main target or decide to move on to another target which can open up new options for other clubs. I hate the fucker but I think this comment is fair enough once you unscramble it, doesn't say out about us necessarily panic buying to me. Think we've shown we don't really panic buy very often.

Yeah he needs some time to adapt that's all.

I don't think we should sell Debuchy, but IF we were to sell I'd want more than €24m for him and Cabaye, that's all.

€24m for the two please IF we were to sell I'd be holding out for at least €28m, €20m for Cabaye and €8m for Debuchy (we just paid €6m for Debuchy 6 months ago and have no need to sell).

I finish work at 16:45, just as the match ends, taking the fucking piss this working bollocks like. Second match I'll miss and we'll only be two games in.

Had to check google images just to make sure he doesn't always look 50

Hughes looks about 50 in that picture

Checked, 28/1 or 280/1 if you add Shola as first goal scorer Thats Sky Bet, you'll probably get better elsewhere.

You'd probably get over 30/1 for that, West Ham just dont score 3 away from home. Add shola as first goal scorer and you could be a rich man I'll go for 1:0 to us personally.

Unreal how people are so quick to jump to this conclusion. He is tho. Ah right, thanks for clearing that up. Last year it was depression..... what a fanny.... I'd be f**ing well depressed if I was on > one million squid a year. I don't know where to start with this one. Like the bloke is a fanny. A f**ing fortune for kicking a ball around and his head isn't right because someone "may" want to sign him. Jesus wept. I agree on the refusal to play if that was the case. But the comment about depression was quite stupid if you were being serious. Its not just feeling a bit sad because you're a fanny ffs, its an illness and money doesnt just make it go away.
