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

It's amazing how little he knows all things considered Most local papers at least have some idea what's going on but he knows absolutely f***ing nothing.

 

It's staggering. Whenever anyone pulls him up on his writing ability/lack of knowledge/incoherent sentence structures he just replies 'I've been doing this for 20 years' as if that's some sort of burn 

 

I'm not a Geordie or from the NE but I hate the way this guy is the main representative for sports journalism up there. It's an insult to the region.

 

Yep.  I've heard him on Talksport before.  They were pretty much openly ridiculing him and he came across like such a mong.  Which is quite an achievement on that station.  Seeing as about 80% of their presenters are complete buffoons.  He is one of the reasons why the 'Geordie Nation' s**** gets repeated and why a lot of fans of other clubs think we're unrealistic and have high expectations, expect success etc. 

 

I'm sure he's been on SSN as well and he was just as bad.

 

How did he get that job, I wonder? 

 

The last time he was on Talksport he had obviously been drinking as it was late in the evening and he was unbelievably antagonistic towards the presenters who were asking reasonable questions.  I can't remember the details but just that he was so unnecessarily rude and I have never heard him on the radio since.

 

Always wondered why he was never been on BBC Newcastle's Total Sport - every other local journalist has.

I've spoke to him before. Trust me it's not the drink to blame.

After the way he went on towards the end of his time here, and the absolutely abysmal and cowardly non-appearances he put in on the pitch manipulating his exit to the latest money-spunking arab plaything....I would laugh my dick off if he ended up at Crystal Palace!

 

Please make this happen.....

What? Carrying us for half a season? His refusal to play as he wanted to go to Arsenal was shabby, but he was great that last half a season, we fell apart as soon as he left

[bhoywhonder]

No, not that....

 

His refusal to play as he wanted to go to Arsenal...

 

That. Inexcusable.

[Tiresias]

Yeah was pretty bad, but I struggle to hold too much against players who want away from this shithole

[gdm]

Tbf to him he could have sulked till jan but he got his head down and performed well

[Mole_Toonfan]

Also France have the likes of Pogba, Matuidi, Sissoko, Kondogbia, Gonalons, Schneiderlin all in similar poistions which doesnt help him either, plenty of youth and movement there over him unless he can have a great season

 

None of them are particularly good at passing the ball though, so it's not really relevant to his chances.

That's staggering considering how important a part passing the ball is to the game!

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

I don't think Schneiderlin would be the success he has been in the Southampton team if he couldn't pass a ball, and yeah Pogba couldn't trap a bag of cement which is why nearly every major European team is trying to currently court him. I read some rubbish on these pages but that ranks right up there with the worst of them i'm afraid.

I knew someone would completely let the point go over their heads.....

 

Pogba isn't wanted by every major european team because of his passing ability, it's because of athleticism and ability to start a counter attack by himself as well his shooting ability.... his passing actually isn't that outstanding but that doesn't matter because he has other things he excels at. He is at his best when he's running at back 4s or just using his physicality in the final third.

 

Schneiderlin has been a success due to his energy and just in general defensive ability, he can pass but nowhere near to Cabaye's level. The others are your prototype box to box midfielders, who do most things to a decent level and have superb abilities to drive the football and excellent energy.

 

Cabaye is the best passer in that group by a distance, which is my point Pogba and who ever else they decide to play will need someone alongside them who can dictate the pace of the game and can create from deep with passing because none of those players can do that.

 

Not to say that Cabaye is a nailed on starter but they'll need someone who can do the things i mentioned because none of them listed can. Gonalons is probably the best passer of that group including Cabaye but he doesn't have Cabaye's vision or range.

 

 

 

 

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

Cabaye's form at PSG has mainly seen him spray 5 yard passes straight to the opposition, so the argument might have had some validity once, however the last 18 months; which is a long time in football somewhat renders it moot.

[Mole_Toonfan]

That's fair enough, but general point wasn't really about Cabaye so much that it was that France need a playmaker and none of those players are except for Gonalons who is somewhat limited in his passing range. Cabaye has shown the ability to be that player whether he still has is up for debate.

[Unbelievable]

I would die for (a player like) Cabaye at Newcastle next season.

[KaKa]

I would die for (a player like) Cabaye at Newcastle next season.

 

Let's pray for Van Ginkel.

He's nothing like him i'd die for a player tbh.

[KaKa]

He's a midfielder with ability, therefore he is closer to Cabaye than he is to any of our sludge 

[thenige]

Would be our best midfielder if he came back here, but would be absolutely staggered if that happened.

 

Palace seems an odd move but whatever. Would still applaud him if he did play against us for another Premier league club, even after the Arsenal incident.

 

Think football fans can be pretty petty about a lot of things when players move on. One bad decision off the field easily overshadows everything good done on the field for some.

 

Similar to how some still hold a grudge against Given for leaving. Seems mental for me given how much of a fucking shambles the club was then, and the amount of his career he'd already given (pardon the pun) us.

[Astroblack]

I saw Van Ginkle one time for Chelsea vs Man City in a pre season friendly before he got injured and he was very impressive. Controlled the midfield and was wasn't afraid to tackle. That was like two years ago so doubt he's the same now.

[Mole_Toonfan]

He's a midfielder with ability, therefore he is closer to Cabaye than he is to any of our sludge 

 

He has no more ability than Sissoko or De Jong do, i think you have quite an unrealistic expectation of his talent level.

[KaKa]

De Jong is not a central midfielder in my book.

 

He is also a lot more rounded than Sissoko. He can pass better and tackle better IMO.

Struggles to construct sentences verbally which probably explains why he struggles to construct sentences in print.

Perhaps journalism wasn't the vocation he should have entered into...

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I think he got away with it when he had to pass all his copy to a highly-qualified editor once every couple of days. Now he's having to chuck out his own content every day of the week and do social media. He's out of his depth.
