jdckelly Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 If we can get £30m+ for Caroll we should be easily getting 20+ for Cabaye Young English striker going to a club who were being paid £50m for one of their players. Completely different situation. For the record, I'd tell Cabaye he can leave at the end of his contract, and not before, but we all know that's not gonna happen. And get nout for him? I know all this "running the club as a business" malarky has been done to death, but that is mental. As mental as the idea of the player accepting it and staying here without any fuss Hence why Cabaye has all of the power here. Well done on proving my point like ;-) He doesn't actually, we've already shown we just won't give into him if he throws a hissy fit and theres a world cup in 6 months.

Well done on proving my point like ;-) But he only has the power if we allow it surely, 2 years on his contract...we don't need to sell. What can he do? Go on strike again...in the second part of the season in a WC year? I doubt it considering they had no problem dropping him after the Summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Contracted until summer 2016, isn't he? 14m is a way too low for one of the best CM's in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I wonder if Ashley will view this as Cabaye as getting older and he wont be able to extract the a huge fee for him. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't push PSG so hard and let him go relatively cheaply. he's 28 in the prime of his carrer and maximum value a french international and in the form of his life and we're talking about mike ashley. Where in gods name do you get the idea he'll just let him go cheaply based on any evidence at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 We must sell him irrespective of whether we replace him or not. We are not going to be relegated and so take the big money now. We don't want to be the next Leeds or Portsmouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 At least if the transfer fee is higher theres a slight (VERY SLIGHT) chance some of the funds could be spent on a replacement rather than all going into Ashley's pocket.

themanupstairs Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Anything below 25m isn't good business IMO. A sale of this nature once in a while is what funds our transfers. Have to hold out for the maximum otherwise we'd be fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 He's worth more now than he ever has in his career and is wanted by a club with endless resources. We should be pushing them for 30m. I could see us getting 25 but 14 is laughable. We sold Milner for that price man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 He isn't going to sign a new contract and whilst he may not necessarily want to leave before the World Cup there's no way we'll risk losing transfer money if a decent bid comes in this week. Once the bid gets to around 20 million he'll be gone. As things stand we know his hand and can call the shots to make the best of the situation. We'd still get 14 million in the summer so let's play some hard ball now. We'll be a much poorer side without him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Price we get is irrelevant...will not get a replacement near his quality. We struck gold getting him for 4mil..that kind of deal doesn't happen often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Obviously don't want to see him sold at all, but we should be asking for double what they've bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
