Mole_Toonfan Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Luke Edwards @LukeEdwardsTele Yohan Cabaye says he turned down move to #thfc in the summer, although my info was #nufc rejected an approach. Tapped up? Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas @LukeEdwardsTele Probably your info wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 He's a smart lad which cuts both ways, not going to make stupid lateral moves for the sake of it but probably aware of his own career more than any overriding club loyalty, he wanted to prove himself in the premier league and can see him going to man u or someone sometime. Hope he stays a few more seasons though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hatem garrincha Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Didn't he say in that French clip how HBA turned Spurs down? In that clip,Cabaye said "if I really wanted to go to Tottenham, it was possible in the summer" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hatem garrincha Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 The clip maker also said that Spur's offer was the only concrete offer made for Cabaye. (No offer from ManU or Arsenal) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I was petrified during the summer that Spurs wanted him. This wont calm those fears! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I get the impression most of the good players stuck around because they thought we would strengthen the team and kick on from what we achieved last season, I would imagine some of them being disillusioned by the window and possibly looking at the exit door in January or next summer. Think about it, your a talented player in demand with bigger, spending clubs with more ambition with no real ties to NUFC, why wouldn't you leave for a club showing more ambition to win something and not to mention a hefty pay increase, without sounding like the usual media arseholes, I really do think we'll lose at least one "key" player in January.

Sounds just like an opinion formed from lazy journalism actually. While of course we could and should have done more in the summer I still think there was a small net improvement by getting Anita,Bigi etc and only losing Best,Loven,Smith etc. There's always a chance of losing someone in football nowadays but we've probably net gained in the last 3 or 4 windows. I'd hope we do the same again in January, but more so and particularly in key positions. What I don't expect so see is any change in the "hardball" policy they have nowadays when it comes to buying and selling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Even if it were true, who cares? Why can't we just sit back and enjoy these players and if they leave then they leave then we deal with it when it happens. This club was here long before Yohan Cabaye and will be here long after Yohan Cabaye. Personally don't understand all this constant worrying about when/if players might leave, we have seen similar with Ben Arfa and others let's just enjoy them and be happy that they are our players and worry about these things when they happen.

Disco Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Wonder if they made a bid to the club or just sounded out his agent? Find it hard to believe the clubs PR machine wouldn't have been all over rejecting a bid. Spurs got a way better player in Dembele anyway IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Completely different players really, I guess it would be a matter of preference who you'd have in your midfield. I would go for Dembele personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 There are several things about Cabaye I dislike tbf. and that is how he uses the ball. As the excellent passer he is he picks a brilliant pass rather often, and thats nice. But he ain't got the speed nor dribbling ability to go past players wich really limits his play sometimes. It forces him to take hasted decisions sometimes, as he can't twist and turn with the ball to wait for a better opportunity. Charging It also comes when charging towards defences to draw them out, as it helps against striker insolation. He also likes to play it from the deep wich doesn't really help us in the 442 either as he often gets quite stationary trying to keep the ball down there. Know this post makes me sound like I think he's a garbadge player, wich he is not, it's just areas I really think the team would benefit from him improving on. If he could do theese things it would relieve the pressure of Jonas as the carrier of the ball out of midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hydeous Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 It looks like Pardew prefers a defensive central midfield. I wonder how much more control we can have on the game if we have Tiote sitting behind Cabaye and Ben Arfa / Marveux playing in forward midfield positions. Will have to be only 1 up front though. @topic, I like Cabaye, would love for him to get back to last years form because he really hasn't shown anything this season yet.

Was for pretty much all last season and has started his campaign at Spurs with a bang. Exactly the type of player we could do with to help us drive forward a bit more from midfield.

Deuce Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Completely different players really, I guess it would be a matter of preference who you'd have in your midfield. I would go for Dembele personally. Actually, I think they compare quite favorably. Both are central midfielders who do better going forward than holding or dropping to defend.
