Skirge Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 The right action would be sign Cabella now and sell Cabaye in the summer if he wants to go and PSG will pay enough. Giving Cabella time to settle whilst still having Cabaye here is the only way to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Similar story reported in August: PSG hopeful of beating Arsenal to Newcastle’s Yohan Cabaye with £17m bid Saturday 24 Aug 2013 4:20 pm 59 shares Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Next PSG to rival Arsenal with £17m Cabaye bidOn the move: Yohan Cabaye looks set to leave Newcastle (Picture: Getty) PSG are set to blow Arsenal out of the water in the race for Yohan Cabaye by making a £17million offer for the Newcastle midfielder. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is a huge fan of France international Cabaye, but he saw an opening bid of £10million rejected by Newcastle last week. Wenger is believed to be preparing another offer to try and land the 27-year-old, but PSG are ready to show their hand after following his progress for the last few months. According to reports in France, manager Laurent Blanc attended a PSG board meeting this week in which he begged the club to try and land Cabaye before the transfer deadline. And despite previously insisting that their business was done this summer, PSG officials are believed to have agreed to it, and they are now working on a £17million bid. I've no doubt that Ashley would shove him straight out the door for £20m plus, given his age and contract, and Cabaye certainly would have wanted to go in the summer. The timing doesnt seem quite right for him though - he's playing brilliantly 5 months before a World Cup in a team that is built around him. He could move to PSG and suddenly find things far more difficult. On the other hand he can go straight into the knock out stages of the Champions League, and he may find that too good an opportunity to pass up. It does look like he's going this time, but I think there's still a small chance he may decide to wait until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliemort Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Should be looking for more than 26mil for one of the best players in the league at the moment not that it will make much of a difference to signing more players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkzter Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If they have bid over 21. Million pounds, then he had gone. Shame but can't blame him, players like Cabaye should be playing champs league and competing for cups. Of course the problem is our fuck wit club spending any of it on replacements!

Rebellious Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My main concern is less about the skill/talent factor we will loose with Cabaye, but the combination of leadership and determination we lack in our team. We have all seen how badly we play without Cabaye and Colo in the team. Pardew could play Ben arfa, Marveux and Cabella every week and we would probably still go backwards. We need to buy a leader like Cabaye, preferably with talent also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Seems to me that if this bid of £26m is true, then PSG know he will cost a lot more after the WC in Brazil. I say hang on to Cabs until after the WC. If he does well we could be looking at breaking the Carroll transfer deal! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 How would everyone feel if the Cabella deal was more about selling Benny? He is a more natural replacement for Benny and he has not traveled with the squad. If it meant keeping Cabaye and getting Cabella I think I would be okay with it.

Dunno, I would still be gutted to see HBA go. Also, doesn't everyone accept that HBA isn't a good #10? If so, Cabella isn't really a replacement for him.

LRD Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I wouldn't mind that if he plays Cabella. In fact I think it will be a better deal considering Ben Arfa isn't getting time on the pitch. Doubt it will veer towards that way though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We arent keeping Cabaye past this season, thats been obvious for quite some time.

I think Cabaye is more important to the team than Ben Arfa, so I would be ok with it too. I think maybe we are getting Cabella so we can use Gouff up front instead of the left wing.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 How much we get for him really doesn't mean anything to me and I don't know why it would to anyone. The same amount obviously won't be spent and, although I have faith in our scouting, I'd be very surprised if we got someone that's anywhere near as good as Cabaye.

Would not shock me at all if he went before Cabs He hardly ever seems to turn out for these type of things. If anything it's probably why he has a good relationship with Pardew as he seems to be given a lot more freedom than others, if only he was given as much freedom on the pitch.

Guest JS Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 As others have said, this was to be expected - The start of this season proved that, really. Fair play to him like, he's knocked in some quality goals for us and helped us to get where we are at the moment since then. He's ambitious, and will probably end up knocking balls through to the likes Ibra, playing in his home country and in the CL for probably the best team in France. On the flip side, he could stay working under Pardew, feeding the likes of Ameobi for a lesser wedge and seeing first hand the level of ambition this club has to offer. Thanks for the goals and bringing us a decent RB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'd be gutted if Ben Arfa left. More than anyone else. It would feel like Pardew has won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
