Arsenal expected to table new bid for Yohan Cabaye

 

Arsenal are expected to table a new bid for Yohan Cabaye after the midfielder opted out of Newcastle United’s clash with West Ham yesterday.

 

London sources today suggested that Arsenal will go back to Newcastle with an increased offer closer to £13million for the French international.

 

Cabaye sat out of the goalless draw with the Hammers at St James’ Park with many fans left deeply disappointed by his absence.

 

Arsenal had a bid of around £11million rejected last week but Newcastle value Cabaye way above that.

 

The ex-Lille man’s transfer market valuation is around £15million.

 

But given Cabaye is under contract for another three years the Magpies can demand whatever fee they please.

 

Cabaye has been offered a path back into the first team by Alan Pardew, but the midfielder is thought to want Champions League football.

 

The player has been training with his personal fitness coach in the last few days to stay fresh in the event of a move.

I'd say he's worth £15m. We don't really need a new CM if he leaves though. Yesterday was proof enough to show that what we really need is a left-winger/striker.

 

Anita - Siss

    Marv

 

Is good enough to start for a top 10 side. Play Benny and Remy/Winger on each side of Remy/Cisse/Striker and we'll be fine. With injuries we have Bigi, Gosling, Tiote to play centrally and Ben Arfa to play in the Marv position.

I think we do need another midfielder if he's sold on top of a winger & a striker.

 

If one of Sissoko or Anita gets injured we will then have to suffer the likes of Jonas and Tiote playing central midfield, that's worked so well over the last 12 months.

13m? Not interested. 18-20m that we can potentially have a similar replacement plus excess for another player and I think it's reasonable considering the current circumstances.

We won't have a choice either way at this ugly stage. Unlikely we want to keep him and if we fail to sell, we have to reintegrate a discontented player who has either gone on strike to force his way out, or is affected by the club lying to the media about his unprofessionalism.

What really fucks me off about this is that whilst Baines, Fellani et al continue to play and prove their worth, every time Cabaye doesn't play it weakens our position and essentially lessens his value.

 

However saying that, the opposite also appears to be true for Gomis who most be the only player in football history who seems to be worth more the closer he gets to his contract expiring.

 

What the hell is it with this club?

I do not think he is a £20m player like. If a club with an oligarch is not interested we can kiss a crazy fee goodbye.

The trouble is that Arsenal appear to be the only team in for Cabaye. PSG and Monaco haven't bid for him. Cabaye wants to leave so it doesn't exactly put NUFC in a position of power. NUFC's options appear to be to sell him to Arsenal for much less than we want or have him moping around until January (after his performances last season I can't see Cabaye playing good enough to encourage other teams to come in for him in the January transfer window).

We definitely need another attacking midfielder if Cabaye goes.

 

Hell we need one anyway but we can't be relying on only Marveaux all season long.
