Recommended Posts

Is the france-spain game on tv in UK? Or atleast repeated later on after England or something? can't see it anywhere

 

It's being streamed on the Guardian's website.

now i realise it's tabloid tittle tattle (http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-city-roberto-mancini-again-1788964) but if they werent to be far out, if monaco were to do a citeh/chelsea/PSG, you'd think cabaye would be high on their list. His stock seems to have risen massively in france over the last year. have to say i'm a bit worried. as a player alone he's in the 22mill plus area but i cant help feel it;s on his back that we have debuchy,sissoko, mapou and I have him down as our captain next season.

 

more worried asbout losing him than anyone else including ben arfa.

Truthfully, I only expect him to be around another season tops. Considering he joined at 25, right?

 

 

A year as captain and a big money move, I wouldn't hold it against him at all.

 

Would be great if we could really kick on and have loads of players of his quality. But when you have CL quality players in a team not in the CL, eventually they will leave.

There were reports in France that Monaco offered Sissoko silly wages to join them in January but he came here instead.

 

According to Del Boy he was pre-contracted to join us in the summer anyway.

monaco were at that time a second tier club. had they been spunking millions all over the shop and been in the top flight (which looks likely come the summer) he may have thought differently.

A newspaper got hold of that way back last year. I remember throwing some links up on here at some point (Guardian or Telegraph springs to mind)

From his point of view, unless he's really homesick, a move back to France would be a huge backwards step for his career.

 

It's our job as a club, if we want to keep the quality players, to progress to a position where we can compete and be a force. The future is looking good after the January window, but another poor summer and I think a few will be thinking about moving on. You only get so many years at the top level in your prime.

YOHAN CABAYE was blunt and brutal as he explained why Manchester United are 15 points ahead of Manchester City: One is a team, the other a collection of individuals.

 

Cabaye believes champions City have effectively surrendered their title because they do not think or play as a team but rely on individual brilliance to get results.

 

Newcastle visit the Etihad tomorrow afternoon and Cabaye’s words will irk City chief Roberto Mancini.

 

The France ace meant no disrespect to the champions and was full of praise for their star-studded squad.

 

But he did not shy away from giving an honest answer as he lavished praise on Old Trafford boss Alex Ferguson.

 

Cabaye said: “United are a machine. Sir Alex is doing a fantastic job for the club.

 

“Even when the players change, he knows which player is going to be good for his team.

 

“City have fantastic players but, unfortunately for them, they don’t think and play as a team — it’s not the same as United. So maybe that’s the difference.

 

“City are still a fantastic team. But they are a team of individuals.”

 

Last year, City overturned an eight-point gap on United in the last eight games to win their first championship in over four decades.

 

This time around the gap is almost twice as big and Cabaye believes it is impossible for them to do it again.

 

He said: “The 15 points is a big difference and it’s going to be more difficult than last season when they had eight points.

 

“I think it’s impossible because if United win three games, they win the title. It’s going to be hard for them.”

 

The battle for the middle ground is where tomorrow’s game will be won and Cabaye knows he will come up against the man he rates the best in the Premier League.

 

Cabaye had good practice facing Xavi, Iniesta and Sergio Busquets as France lost to Spain on Wednesday.

 

For he will now come up against their former Barcelona team-mate Yaya Toure.

 

He added: “Every time, it’s the best feeling for me when we play against the best players in the world. On Wednesday, it was Spain and on Saturday, it’s going to be Yaya Toure. He is the best in the Premier League.

 

“Toure is the best because he can defend, he can score, he can play up offensively and defensively.

 

“He’s the complete midfielder and he deserves to be where he is.

 

“Kun Aguero, David Silva, Carlos Tevez and many more are all fantastic players. I don’t want to say their stars are less good than Yaya Toure but when Yaya misses a game — like at Everton — they lost.

 

“It’s going to be totally different than the Spain midfield but it’s going to be tough as well.

 

“We will have a big, big job to do to stop City.”

 

Cabaye was focused on France and had not heard Toure’s threat to quit City at the end of the season, which was delivered to SunSport by his agent, Dimitri Seluk. He added: “I don’t know about that. He would be a big loss. I didn’t hear anything, I’ve been focusing on the France team in the last week.”

 

The Magpies are still in a perilous position in the Premier League table following their loss at Wigan before the international break — and Cabaye insisted that they will go out to win at the Etihad.

 

He believes Newcastle will be the hungrier team as they are only six points above the relegation zone, while City may lack a bit of motivation given the gap from United is virtually impossible to bridge.

 

Cabaye added: “It’s the same as every time we go out. We will play to win the game against City.

 

“We know it’s going to be tough, it’s a tough place to go.

 

“But if we play as well as in the last games, maybe we have a chance.”

 

Newcastle have won four of their last seven games but it was the loss at Wigan that has set them back.

 

They would have opened up a 12-point gap from the bottom three had they beaten the Latics.

 

The French star continued: “We are hungrier maybe because we are still in a bad position.

 

“If we had got a positive result against Wigan, it would have been different. But we lost and we are still in a difficult position.

 

“Now the international duty is over we have to focus on the immediate future. We just need to be focused on achieving safety.”
