Ste Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've no worries over him leaving this January, I think the summer he'll be off. We will hopefully have a replacement lined up (haven't seen Cabella to comment) as the writing has been on the wall since the summer that Cabaye wants off.

Guest Recoba Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Carroll - ridiculous offer Enrique - 12 months left on contract with no chance of renewal, sell and sign Santon Ba - contract clause Milner is the only one that I would say we "bit off their hand. Who else has left of note? It could be argued that Arsenal are just even more of a "selling club" (Adabayor, K Toure, Nasri, Clichey, Fabregas, Van Persie) than us. I would not blame Cabaye if he does have the feeling that he wishes to play for a top club, but he should look at the likes of Petit at Barcelona for how it could go (and Barca were shite then). Or Everton (Rooney, Yakubu, Andy Johnson, Lescott, Fellaini) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Everyone buys and sells players, it's just football. Doesn't make us a selling club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows that every player has his price, but f*** me Pardew is relentless with this s*** and it's completely unnecessary. What bothers me is the message it gives the player, it's not 'we're going to fight to keep you so don't bother agitating for a move' it's 'well if somebody bids for you...'

Theregulars Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I love the guy, but he's too good for a club with no ambition. I think if we were actually arsed about challenging/winning silverware he would stay here for a serious chunk of his career, when he first moved he seemed really attached to the project and being the centrepiece of a developing team with a new transfer strategy who had the infrastructure to become a European force. I don't blame him one iota for becoming disillusioned with the fact that a guy of his undoubtable talent (for my money he's in the top 10/20 players in the division; he was in the Guardian top 100 footballers in the world and I absolutely don't think that's a stretch) is at a team which will never develop him to his full potential or allow him to use that talent to contribute to winning anything or going anywhere. The equivalent would be my employer never striving to make more profit and never trying to develop anyone, with no real structure for moving up the chain. I would become massively disillusioned and be looking for a way out, not because I am a diva or difficult, because I want to be the best I can be. Seriously, what in the name of holy fuck can Alan Pardew teach this guy about football that will permit him to become one of the best players in Europe, which he has the potential to be?

Everyone knows that every player has his price, but fuck me Pardew is relentless with this shit and it's completely unnecessary. after the Carroll debacle he clearly will never again be so forthright with statements as he was then that the player is staying. Changes nowt anyway, if he said he's definitely staying no matter what blah blah blah everyone would assume he's lying anyway and clubs know our stance on our players ie bid big enough.

TRon Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 If he is sold it will be for a pretty hefty fee so I hopefully that will allow us to buy a decent replacement. He's not going to sign a new contract so whether he runs it down or is sold for a big fee is ok with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Compare Martinez's comments about Barkley the other week. Everyone knows that every player has his price, but f*** me Pardew is relentless with this s*** and it's completely unnecessary. What bothers me is the message it gives the player, it's not 'we're going to fight to keep you so don't bother agitating for a move' it's 'well if somebody bids for you...' That's the message you choose to interpret it as though. In reality we have shown we'll fight to keep players, as Cabaye knows all to well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the much lauded Martinez quote about Barkley only went as far as saying he wouldn't be off in this window due to the disruption it would cause. He knows full well there is a point where the difference the money would mean to the club outweighs the usefulness of the player, he's just lucky that unlike Cabaye, Barkley is unlikely to be pushing for a move at this stage.

It always feels like we're more about the money than the player. I guess it's just the policy we have. Tbf Ashley through which ever monkey, has never hid that.
