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

[Dinho lad]

Anyone who is sticking up for this well payed wanker should get there head examined .

 

[NUFC]

Fine him 2 weeks wages (the maximum we can fine) for every game he refuses to play

 

How do you know it is the maximum we can fine him?

 

Think I read its the maximum set by the PFA

I don't believe a fucking word of that Chronicle bullshit. If Cabaye has refused to play, the club will fine him the two week maximum and make it public. If they don't and so far they haven't as far as we know, it's because there is another reason why he's not playing.

I dont think they're fining him because Arsenal haven't comeback in, and i dont think they will now. I reckon rather than burn bridges with him, they will let him sit it out until the window slams shut (if he isn't sold). Then bring him back into the squad. 

 

Just imo like.

[LoveItIfWeBeatU]

Cabaye refusing to play because he wants to be transferred or NUFC not playing him as they want to protect their asset before they sell him. Either way Cabaye is unlikely to play for NUFC again. I just hope NUFC use at least some of the money from his sale to buy players with the attributes we need rather than buy players who are cheap.

Seems plausible, but imo if this IS the case Pardew should be saying it's his decision a lot to take the edge off fans turning on Cabaye.

[r0cafella]

IF this is true (something more than "the chronicle understands" would be good then Cabaye is a disgrace and should be transfer listed at the value of 20million pounds and be left to rot.

 

[themanupstairs]

No chance he's outright refused to play. He would have put in a transfer request IMO. Something has gone on behind the scenes, or he's just being saved anticipating his sale.

Pardew hasn't said it's Cabayes fault either tbf, he batted the question away when asked so far. I think the Chronicle are having a decent guess. Although with the way Ashley works, you wouldn't be surprised if the Chronicle got a little inside info.

[Tiresias]

Here is what happened, what the club say Cabaye said:

 

"I refuse to play"

 

What he actually said :

 

"I refuse to play your stupid longball, when I play tomorrow I will pass the ball along the floor a lot, I will try and move intelligently and I will try and score a goal"

 

Pardew: "f*** off I'm selling you to arsenal"

[Dave]

Another fine mess.

[Deuce]

This situation needs to be resolved quickly, one way or another. Can't have it hanging over the club.

[Skirge]

Its a fucked up situation no matter who is at fault, there is such a bad feeling among the fans towards the owner and manager that a lot refuse to believe a player could be at fault in any way and it has to be Pardew who is to blame its all a big conspiracy to cash in on Cabaye blah blah blah.

 

Having said that it is a reasonable reaction as nothing would surprise us the way this club is ran, either way even if there had been no bids for Yo I can see this becoming an issue with a lot more of the squad the longer this shambolic transfer shite carries on window after window.

We are not showing enough ambition for these players to want to remain here, fkn hell a lot of fans are giving up on the club the way things are.

[r0cafella]

Cabaye should just put out a statement at this stage stating what his intentions are.

[ED209]

Its absurd, whats the point in having a contract if you can just say fuck it I am not playing. In any other walk of life you would be sacked for refusing to work/turn up to work.

[Dave]

Assuming the club have told the Chronicle this, I would imagine he'll want to have his say quite soon. Pretty strong allegation.

That's what i thought as well.

 

Interesting timing too, I wonder if anything would have been said if we'd have won today?

Which it is, let's be honest.

Why would he refuse to play?

 

Are we in a situation where Cabaye thinks that the Arsenal offer was fair and has downed tools in protest?

And what makes you think that Cabaye gives a shit about what we receive?

I still think he'd want to clarify his position. It looks terrible to prospective buyers for a start.

[Jack Flash]

This could have been our captain this year.

[Ronaldo]

This could have been our captain this year.

 

Our actual captain tried his very best to bugger off in the last window. The club's recruitment policy looks an even bigger farce if these 'men' are the ones displaying the strongest leadership qualities.

[Mick]

It's time people stopped thinking of players as 'heroes'. They are employees. 99.99% of them would leave for more money, a club playing in Europe, a club in a country/part of a country they'd like to live, etc.

 

Nobody sang "Don't sell Cabaye" today at the match. With hindsight it's a shame we didn't sell him before the start of last season going by how he performed last season.

 

Yes they did.
