Benwell Lad Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just shows how important a competent person in the DOF or 'responsible for dealings' role can be. If Arsenal had Levy they would probably be cleaning up. The irony is that year after year Spurs look like they are stealing a march on their rivals but Arsenal pip them in the end. It is really getting to some Spurs fans I know that no matter what they do they can never finish above Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 We've no proof he's been a knob, we've plenty of Pardew quotes suggesting we want to cash in though. I think when Pardew comes out with stuff like that it's generally to prepare the fans for the loss because he knows Ashley is happy to sell. Pardew doesn't benefit from losing the players & he got stung when Derek/Mike assured him they wouldn't sell Carroll and he was fairly sure he wouldn't go...100% in fact. I think this as well, but I can't really be bothered to make the argument any more. It just seems ridiculous to me that Pardew is saying the things he does to actively shop Cabaye around. It's silly. He's just answering the fact that he can't guarantee us anything about transfers. Why is it silly? Part of Pardew's job is to do Ashley's PR through the press, if Ashley wants to sell Cabaye then Pardew's gonna talk about it. I just don't really believe PR is a big part of Pardew's job, except to the normal extent that a manager will try to make his club look good. I also don't know that Ashley wants to sell Cabaye actively, we don't really have a history of doing that. Anyway, as I said I don't expect anyone to agree or change their opinion, my view is just that Pardew waffles on a bit too much in interviews. I don't think there's a grand plan behind it.

You'd think so, but they just never seem to be able to do it despite often looking like they will, and that's what drives the Spurs fans nuts.

Guest Phil K Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 so basically what everyone thought came to pass, Arsenal are too cheap to pay our asking price for a player they never really needed in the first place but are quite happy to completely unsettle him and cause him to miss 2 games (1 of which against a side they supposedly want to compete with in theory). Perfect summing up of the situation to date. Yup, young Mr Kelly nailed it there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 On the face of it, I'd rather we took the money and re-invested it in a player who wants to be here. Quite how easy it'll be for Cabaye to walk back into the dressing room after all this, is anyone's guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 What was it Martin Tyler called him. The smiling assassin or something? talking about how he being handsome covers him his nasty side One look at that picture of him smiling and I instantly wanted to forgive him.
