Kasper Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yeah definitely the right thing to do, refusing to play 90 minutes of Football for his weekly £45,000 wage, totally justified the poor lad. Seriously get a fucking grip I'm not claiming I know whats happening or laying all the blame at Cabayes door at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Amazed anyone could be devastated, tbh. He was a big upgrade on Nolan as a footballer but next to some of the CMs we've had over the past 15 years he's not fit to lick their underpants. He's one of the better players of an underwhelming squad with a reputation that outweighs his actual effectiveness. Enlighten me which midfielders you're talking about. Count me in. Preferably if you could go a bit outside of the box and count out Speed and Lee. Is this a joke? Batty, Pedro, Speed, Hamann, Lee, Dyer and Parker were all more effective PL players. Besides that fact it´s over 15 years since Pedro and Batty played for us, I would find it very hard to agree that Cabaye is not fit to lick Hamann, Dyer and Parkers underpants Moving on then. Over 15 years since Pedro and Batty? In your little world, perhaps. Pedro left in 97/98, Batty a year later. Pedro left in august 97 which is exactly 16 years ago, no? Batty left december 98, so still a few months until the 15 year mark, I'll give you that. Time flies Ron! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ambitious player in a club with zero ambition. What the f*** do you expect to happen? I expect he honoured his contract and give some respect to the fans to play 90 mins out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously get a fucking grip I'm not claiming I know whats happening or laying all the blame at Cabayes door at the moment. 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''? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 If he's refusing to play, he needs to be sent to train with the reserved and we should stop paying him. Such behavior is unheard of, or usually reserved for the Carlos Tevezes of the world. If the club is lying about this though, then it wouldn't surprise me a bit and I would welcome him back into the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Maybe the success in hawking Carroll around (according to Redknapp etc.) and still getting a big fee has got Ashiey thinking we can do the same here. It looks like its going to come down to a game of chicken on deadline day. If they hold out, Arsenal may yet get him for their original bid. Cabaye's energy level was bad enough in the 0-6 against the Scousers last season, so I dread to think what we'd get out of him were he to stay after the way we've handled this situation. France seem to think there is an AM in there, but getting it out of him is clearly beyond Pardew. He doesn't seem disciplined or defensively strong enough to double up in some DM plus deep lying playmaker type role. Even in the best case situation here, getting 20M for Cabaye on deadline day will not be a success because all we'll get to hear of is failed last-minute bids.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Whatever happened to players handing in transfer requests? That used to be the done thing. The other week Suarez was threatening to hand in a transfer request when he'd already made it very clear that he wants to leave Liverpool. How players can get paid a loyalty bonus just because they didn't officially request a transfer in writing, while doing everything else in their power to leave is beyond me. I can't blame Cabaye for wanting to leave. NUFC have shown no ambition. I can blame him for the way he has gone about it. If you want to leave put a transfer request in. I just hope we get a good price for him and the money is used to buy a couple of players who transform our side (like when we got Bellamy and Robert). A fool's hope.

BlueStar Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 If he's refused to play and we're letting him get away with it, it's a fucking disgrace. If we're not playing one of our most creative players and potentially dropping points in the process out of fear of jepordising selling him off, it's a fucking discrace. If we're doing the latter, while telling the media it's the former, it's a double fucking disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well yeah, not disputing that. They were all brilliant players (bar perhaps Parker, but that might be because he was not used correctly). He was a class above Cabaye, no doubt about it. Parker? Very good player for us, but extremely limited footballer. no, hamann. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 When you consider what footballers get from the game - a game which is entirely reliant on fans in one way or another - the fans don't actually ask for much from the players In return the players get fame, adulation and millions of pounds a year. The very least they could do would be to actually play and do their best for the money. They can retire as you g men still and not have to lift a finger work-wise for the rest of their lives. If this story is true then it is very depressing for the game as a whole, not just newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
