Agreed. If we kept Cabaye and just add a couple of player we could have been in with a shout of even 4th. Someone was on Talksport the other day saying this season is more important that ever to get into the Champions League due to the money now for those in the competition. He said you are talking a generation gap between those who qualify and those who don't. Very much feel it's a missed opportunity.
:lol:
Mata is a more valuable player than Cabaye.
Still think cabs is worth near 30m especially to a PSG type club
He's worth £30 mil to us just cause of what he brought to our team.
More money he keeps the quicker our loan to him is gone and he has no reason to stay
If you owned a business you could skim £40m a year off of, would you let it go?
…not to mention the millions in free advertising. Winner winner, Chicken dinner.
You'd almost think the intention was to not replace him and that the bid for Grenier was nothing more than a cheeky put for a player worth more than our offer.
