jdckelly Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Not sure PSG even need to unsettle him tbh. Fairly sure that Cabaye has known for a while that they want him and it seems to be just a case of haggling over the fee. He was always going to leave the club either this window or the next one. the theory is if he throws another tantrum about leaving we'd lower our asking price just to remove a bad influence on the dressing room. Reality however has Mike Ashley in the way so god only knows how that would work out. Can't see Ashley giving the first fuck in that respect. His price is his price, we don't know what it is but I highly doubt Ashley will knock a few million off just because Cabaye throws his toys out of the pram. as I said its the standard theory and it must have some basis in reality otherwise clubs wouldn't continue attempts to unsettle players but Ashley is hardly conventional in football club owner terms.

jdckelly Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 We shouldn't need to report them for the tapping up FIFA should just slap them down but they won't. Everyone involved knows the fee is nowhere near enough and is an attempt to get Cabaye to go in a huff again. Not convinced he will do that this time though, he also needs to realize that its very unlikely that PSG will up the offer enough it could however spark Man Ure into offering more. This could be why this story has hit the press. FIFA/UEFA don't give half a shit about tapping up, was anything done to Barcelona with the very public and regular tapping up of Fabregas for over a year? Real Madrid with just about anybody? Harry Redknapp again just about anybody? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 He'll have 2 years left on his contract come June and will be 3 years into his contract. He could use the Webster ruling to buy out his contract for relatively little money given what we paid for him. I'll be amazed if we don't sell given the risks.

You're not wrong there. Still think we've leaked it in the hope another club becomes interested and the price is forced up. This theory is much more plausible imo.

toontownman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I watched the first half of Guingamp vs PSG and had to turn it off. Blanc is the glammed up version of Pardew tactically. Negativity Central. The quality of football, despite the millions of pounds worth of talent on show was unbelievably poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
