TaylorJ_01 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Without Cabaye we've zero creativity in the side. Other than Benny and Marveaux who he stupidly won't play I can only think of Vuckic who is remotely creative Tiote/Anita/Marveaux would be decent but Pardew is a wank hat.

merlin Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 14m for Cabaye is a joke...they must be either trying it on - just as NUFC do when attempting to buy a player - or they are just trying to unsettle Cabaye in the belief he doesn't really want to go anywhere else. They'll be back...and maybe others too in due course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What does that even mean. "Bidding starts at £25m". Is there a "Buy now" button for say £28m? No - it means that any offer around 21m will get him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Did anyone read this column from the Secret Footballer? http://www.thesecretfootballer.com/articles/the-secret-footballer/14959/text-what-text-kenwyne-jones-the-truth/ "Clubs feed the public domain with stories like this all the time. I can remember a similar thing happening to a goalkeeper who I used to play with – the nicest, most professional and seriously talented player you could ever wish to meet. He did extremely well for our club and, as a result, he attracted a lot of interest from clubs in the top four. Eventually, one of those clubs put some serious money on the table. Understandably, our club did not want to sell him but, instead of rejecting the offer and releasing a statement, they rejected the offer and came up with their own plan. These days, it is not enough to simply reject an offer because there is so much money in the game that clubs are rarely put off by the size of a transfer fee alone. Our club knew that their goalkeeper would be the subject of further bids if it did not nip the situation in the bud immediately. On the Friday before a big game, the manager asked our goalkeeper if he was OK to play? Perhaps his heart was elsewhere, maybe he needed to have a weekend on his own to take his mind off things? “No,” replied our goalkeeper, “I’m fine with everything and looking forward to the game.” The following day the papers were littered with one quote from our manager: “We dropped the player for the weekend’s match,” he said, “because it was clear that his head was all over the place and he couldn’t deal with all the speculation.” And that was it. No more bids from the interested club; in fact, no more bids from anybody. Who wants a player, especially a goalkeeper, who crumbles under a bit of pressure? It was very clever and, at the same time, extremely vindictive." Add to this Wenger's comments about not paying so much for a 'squad player', and in August at least we had our player put perfectly in his place. Could this be happening again (if you think it could have happened then)? Are you suggesting we did the dirty on Cabaye so that nobody would offer anything for him and we get to keep an unhappy player? Sounds about as plausible as some of the other ludicrous conspiracies demonising the club on here. The club don't need to have anyone demonising them on here or anywhere else - they make a first class job of demonising themselves at just about every turn....

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 mainly concerned about the mackems game now tbh, it's basically all we have left to play for and we might lose our most influential player right before it with little chance of replacing lets be honest, even if they have a replacement lined up pardew won't be able to make it work in time 'cause he won't have the requisite 3 months prep to action a change to his "plan" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If that's how it all pans out then yeah, I'll be very cynical about the whole thing - releasing info on low bids etc. Wet dream for Pardew if we get beat mind, all hated and attention on Mike and killer Joe instead of his own failings.

If/When Cabaye does go this window he will have to play Marveaux there because nobody else can play that position unless he takes a chance on Bigirimana, or puts Ben Arfa right and shifts Sissoko central Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yohan Cabaye says Newcastle United are enjoying away games this season 27 Jan 2014 07:56 Yohan Cabaye believes Newcastle United have shaken off the travel sickness that left them fighting for their Premier League lives last season Newcastle United’s man of the moment Yohan Cabaye believes they have shaken off the travel sickness that left them fighting for their Premier League lives last season. And insisted he and his team-mates are revelling when it comes to road trips this term. Sources in France say that United rejected a £14million bid for Cabaye from Paris St-Germain over the weekend – but as reported in Saturday’s Chronicle, Newcastle will only accept an astronomical offer for the midfield talisman. Now though, Cabaye wants to add to United’s impressive tally of victories away from St James’ Park this season after helping TREBLE last term’s haul of just two wins away from home. Indeed, this season it has well and truly been a case of “Away the lads” with United’s six road-trip wins actually better than title contenders Manchester City and Champions League chasers Liverpool with Newcastle’s form away from home in the top six. Newcastle couldn’t buy an away triumph at times last term, winning at just Aston Villa and relegated Queens Park Rangers during their slump to 16th. Cabaye suggested Newcastle enjoy playing in front of the travelling hardcore fans who make the long journeys from Tyneside just as much as they do at home this season with five wins at St James’ Park and six away. The Toon Army will make the 402-mile round trip tomorrow night and many of the supporters buses won’t be arriving back to Newcastle until the small hours of Wednesday with a full day at work awaiting many of them. Cabaye will be hoping to deliver another great win and has suggested the magic formula that has served them so well on away days could come up trumps at Carrow Road. Cabaye said ahead of the crunch clash: “The home team has to play to win the game and to attack. “We are staying solid and we can play well. “We play well at home but sometimes it is more difficult. “We have to improve at home against teams who stay and defend.” Newcastle’s victory at West Ham in their last road-trip encounter saw Cabaye deliver a first-class performance as he bagged twice to send the 3,000-strong Geordie faithful home happy. Cabaye said: “We won at West Ham. “Now we have to work and stay confident for the future. “Even if we had not played well at West Ham, the most important thing was the win. “Fortunately for us we did both. “Our confidence is very nice, so we have to carry on and work hard to stay where we are.” Newcastle helped cement eighth place in the Premier League table with that victory, but United boss Alan Pardew wants to break back into the European chasing pack. He said before making the long trip to the team’s plush hotel in Norfolk: “The top-seven clubs have been dominant this season. We want to impact on that.” Meanwhile, it is understood United’s attempt to swap Papiss Cisse for Luuk de Jong on loan stalled over the weekend. Sources in Germany say the two clubs may renew talks this week. As reported in the Chronicle last Thursday, the Magpies are ready to offload the out-of-form No 9. However, interested parties must match his current wages at United and make the deal a permanent move with assurances of first-team football. Newcastle were also linked with Lyon star Clément Grenier over the weekend. Grenier is a central midfielder who signed a new deal with the French club last year until 2016. However, he remains open to a possible move abroad. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/yohan-cabaye-says-newcastle-united-6595657 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
