Yohan Cabaye (now sporting coordinator at Paris Saint-Germain)


Recommended Posts

I just hope Man United don't get him. It's pissing me off seeing plastic fans online talking about Cabaye and Newcastle like we're some sort of feeder club for them, waiting to hand Cabaye over whenever they want him. Most of them haven't a fucking clue what Cabaye is even like, they're just mad for him because the media keeps mentioning his name.

He has to think also that they can afford any player and there are better centre mids in the world. He might play until the summer but I am assuming he expects to have a France career beyond the World Cup. A move may be good from his point of view but PSG is not the most stable of options. Money wise it's a good move for a 28 year old I'd bet.

I think Cabaye would rather not have a decision to make this month so will be happy if no bids come in. 

 

Signings in January are often a short-term fix until they can get the big names in the Summer e.g. Chelsea with Ba last year when they were desperate for a striker.

 

PSG want someone because one of their back-up midfielders is injured. They seem to see Cabaye as a squad player.

 

Man Utd can't get the players they want in this window so if they do go for Cabaye now after knowing that he was looking for a move last Summer, it will look like a panic signing to see them through the rest of the season.  Cabaye would get more games there but there is a strong possibility, they won't qualify for the Champions League next season and that would further affect their Summer transfer plans.

 

If a big offer comes in then I am sure Ashley will accept it but I think Cabaye is probably hoping that one doesn't and is happy to wait until the Summer when it will be clearer what situation clubs are in.

pretty much my thinking plus, ultimately Cabaye knows barring injury/suspension he will be playing every week and why risk that with 6 months to a world cup if he takes time to settle in a new club and form dips. He's also likely to be able to get a better deal for himself if he plays well at the world cup and moves after that.

Just a load of blither to try and get him to hand in a transfer request to drop the price or something. There's a point when it's all talk and I think he'd have gone by now. He'll definitely go in summer but he won't want to be on the bench.

Just don't get get the impression he'll be away this month. It's not like the Carroll situation where his value was never going to be higher, with a World Cup 6 months away and he's already in great form there's scope for him to be worth more. If he goes to PSG and plays for a couple of months and loses his place then it's jeopardising his place in the national team
