BillClinton Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Anyone else think that this is all BS? One guy in France is saying this, no other reports.. If this was an incoming transfer based off just one report, everyone would be saying that it was a joke and nwoat yet. The news leaked near midnight on a Friday, a strange time for normal transfer news. It just doesn't seem too legit to me. He still may go later in the summer but I doubt it's happened this quickly.

It possibly is bull crap but nobody can rule it out, we've known about players coming in long before th press got hold of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I think he will definitly be gone come season kick off anyway and I'll be heart broken when he is, has been one of my favourite players.. If Ben Arfa goes too now I think it will be too much to take and probably die or at least my hopes and dreams for this club will. They're on a mighty thin rope as it is mind after all we've gone through the last ten years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Simon bird in march: Newcastle owner Mike Ashley will refuse to sell France playmaker Yohan Cabaye at any price. Ashley warded off interest in several stars last summer by quoting an automatic £25million transfer fee for all of his players – including regular sub James Perch! And he will do the same in the coming off-season with midfielder Cabaye, who is Ashley’s favourite Toon player http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-transfers-yohan-cabaye-wont-1779463#ixzz2WFAHVFnT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 One of my favorite players seemingly on the way out. Horrible feeling, again - if true. His replacement needs to be someone with pace and can drive the team forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I don't believe it. He left Lille for what, to eventually be back playing for a smaller club in Monaco? He could go elsewhere, to a champions league club, if he wanted to. I'm probably just still in denial about how much money factors into things nowadays.. Nobody here questioned his ambition when he left a champions league club to come to a mid table premier league club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'll be gutted if he leaves as he is my favourite but I've been convinced for a long time now that he would be on his way so I wouldn't be shocked. From the outset, he always struck me as being ambitious and having a clear plan as to how he wanted his career to progress so I always believed we were a stepping stone for a move to a bigger club. Surprised that he would choose to go back to France after all his gushing praise for the Premier League but maybe there are no offers currently forthcoming from England and Monaco have recruited some great players and will be a club going places. I think his wife is also from the South of France so that may be a factor. I don't think it is unusual for players to have medicals in advance of negotiations although sometimes the deals don't go through in the end. If he is going to leave us then I would far rather it was for a foreign club than an English club. I just feel sad that he lost all that enthusiasm from his first season with us.

Kanj Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Honestly, if he has to go - I'd rather it be to some mega rich team like Monaco vs someone like Spurs, Man Utd, etc in our league. Far as possible from our domestic campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will once the season starts and we have Jonas, Perch and Anita starting in midfield. 2 good games last season? No doubt. I believe he's a good player who has been off form for a while - a decent fee and I wouldn't be too worried if I knew it would be reinvested (hint: won't). The fact it seems to be happening early gives me a bit of hope, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least coming here was trying a new experience in "the greatest league in the world". If he wanted to get paid shit loads while still playing in France why didn't he just jump onboard with PSG?

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 seems very specific to be made up bullshit like, passing a medical and that with any luck cabaye will come out and fucking slate pardew publicly if he leaves, at the very least it might put doubt in the minds of MA & DL it won't like, but it'd be better than nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I just don't see how you "couldn't care" about selling Cabaye, unless it's a matter of just giving up altogether, which is highly understandable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I think Cabaye's massively undervalued here especially considering the other options basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 i think he's class, and will go on to show it if he's managed by an actual football manager, but i don't know what my reaction to this can be other than: ok he's gone/going, hope we sign someone more suited to the managers style of play that might help us avoid relegation this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'm sort of in that "i knew this was probably coming but sort of shocked and hope its not true" type of feeling. He's absolutely one of my favorites we've had in a long, long time. I don't know, just felt like he'd go on vacation with family and he'd come back reenergized and ready to play here with some of his close mates and for the fans that absolutely adore him.
