Ketsbaia Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The worry is that leaving him out indicates its nearly done. But you dont go from £10m to £20m overnight. Cabaye here and Cabaye at Arsenal will be 2 different players. We'll never see his potential under Pardew. So losing him isnt a problem in itself, its the fears about a low fee and failing to replace him. Gutted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 £20m but by tomorrow or no deal WHY wait so fkn late in the window to make an offer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Might be from Sky because I didn't see it, but: 'What I can confirm is that on the eve of a game we've had a bid for the player which we don't think is acceptable. Therefore I have to pick what I think is a team out here tonight which is going to get us a result. The rights and wrongs of that bid, other people can make an opinion, I know what my opinion is.'

afar Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 WTF is going on ? Just switched TV on to find he's not in squad. Have they sold him ? If not and presuming he's not injured wtf are they playing at !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Strange one for Arsenal too. Do they see him as a DM? To go from Gustavo to Cabaye is an odd situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Disappointed he's going but stopped getting attached to individual players a long time ago. They come, they stay for a few years and then they move on, that's modern football and he won't be the last to go either. They're all just temporary employees, aye it's shit when you lose good players but it happens. Almost certain that Sissoko was bought safe in the knowledge that Cabaye and/or Tiote were leaving and he's Cabaye's replacement. The money we get for him should go straight back into the team but I've got my doubts on that score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 So Cabaye in a stop because we rejected the bid NO other reason got him not to play, if his mind was right he would start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Wonder what all the other French players we've signed make of this. He's apparently been instrumental in our recent recruitment drive. Oh wait scratch that. They're probably thinking they'll get a move to a big club soon enough too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Strange one for Arsenal too. Do they see him as a DM? To go from Gustavo to Cabaye is an odd situation. Stinks of a panic buy - to placate their spoiled fans after the result at the weekend and to fill out the squad in light of recent injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If N-O had been as enthusiastic about this predictions league vs real league thing as me then you'd have all not been that arsed about this at all, alas no - we are all wallowing in misery, AGAIN.

It certainly is that, however they could panic buy someone like Diame or even Fellaini as opposed to someone who's just miscast altogether. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Why are any of you surprised? I'm similarly perplexed why there's so much apparent shock at this development. Maybe the penny is dropping for a few folks who've, up until now, been in a state of willful self-delusion about the nature of modern football/Mike Ashley/lack of club loyalty in players these days.

Ste Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Resigned myself earlier in the window to losing him, then it seemed like we were safe from bids, then Pardew kept touting his name ... Urgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
