Whatever happened to players handing in transfer requests? That used to be the done thing. The other week Suarez was threatening to hand in a transfer request when he'd already made it very clear that he wants to leave Liverpool. How players can get paid a loyalty bonus just because they didn't officially request a transfer in writing, while doing everything else in their power to leave is beyond me.

 

I can't blame Cabaye for wanting to leave. NUFC have shown no ambition. I can blame him for the way he has gone about it. If you want to leave put a transfer request in. I just hope we get a good price for him and the money is used to buy a couple of players who transform our side (like when we got Bellamy and Robert). A fool's hope.

If he's refused to play and we're letting him get away with it, it's a fucking disgrace.

 

If we're not playing one of our most creative players and potentially dropping points in the process out of fear of jepordising  selling him off, it's a fucking discrace.

 

If we're doing the latter, while telling the media it's the former, it's a double fucking disgrace.

Well yeah, not disputing that. They were all brilliant players (bar perhaps Parker, but that might be because he was not used correctly).

 

He was a class above Cabaye, no doubt about it.

 

Parker? :lol: Very good player for us, but extremely limited footballer.

 

no, hamann.

When you consider what footballers get from the game - a game which is entirely reliant on fans in one way or another - the fans don't actually ask for much from the players

 

In return the players get fame, adulation and millions of pounds a year.

 

The very least they could do would be to actually play and do their best for the money. They can retire as you g men still and not have to lift a finger work-wise for the rest of their lives.

 

If this story is true then it is very depressing for the game as a whole, not just newcastle.

Things like this totally limit the amount of money we will get for him.

 

Exactly.  Thats why I don't buy the theory that we didnt play him in order to prevent him from taking up injuries.

It does no good to us.

Amazed anyone could be devastated, tbh. He was a big upgrade on Nolan as a footballer but next to some of the CMs we've had over the past 15 years he's not fit to lick their underpants. He's one of the better players of an underwhelming squad with a reputation that outweighs his actual effectiveness.

 

 

Enlighten me which midfielders you're talking about.

 

Count me in. Preferably if you could go a bit outside of the box and count out Speed and Lee.

 

Is this a joke? Batty, Pedro, Speed, Hamann, Lee, Dyer and Parker were all more effective PL players.

 

Besides that fact it´s over 15 years since Pedro and Batty played for us, I would find it very hard to agree that Cabaye is not fit to lick Hamann, Dyer and Parkers underpants :lol:

 

 

Moving on then.

 

Over 15 years since Pedro and Batty? In your little world, perhaps. Pedro left in 97/98, Batty a year later.

 

Pedro left in august 97 which is exactly 16 years ago, no?

Batty left december 98, so still a few months until the 15 year mark, I'll give you that. :lol:

 

Time flies Ron!  :undecided:

 

 

 

It does. And I miss them all, mate. 2013 NUFC is shit.

 

It's 20 years this coming Thursday since I went to my first PL game. If I'd been born 20 years later and this was my footballing introduction I'd probably have picked a different sport. Maybe Rugby - and turned out gay. Imagine that shit.

 

My Mrs is due in a couple of weeks. Do I subject this innocent child to NUFC?

 

No. Don't do it brother.

Arsenal expected to table new bid for Yohan Cabaye

 

Arsenal are expected to table a new bid for Yohan Cabaye after the midfielder opted out of Newcastle United’s clash with West Ham yesterday.

 

London sources today suggested that Arsenal will go back to Newcastle with an increased offer closer to £13million for the French international.

 

Cabaye sat out of the goalless draw with the Hammers at St James’ Park with many fans left deeply disappointed by his absence.

 

Arsenal had a bid of around £11million rejected last week but Newcastle value Cabaye way above that.

 

The ex-Lille man’s transfer market valuation is around £15million.

 

But given Cabaye is under contract for another three years the Magpies can demand whatever fee they please.

 

Cabaye has been offered a path back into the first team by Alan Pardew, but the midfielder is thought to want Champions League football.

 

The player has been training with his personal fitness coach in the last few days to stay fresh in the event of a move.

I'd say he's worth £15m. We don't really need a new CM if he leaves though. Yesterday was proof enough to show that what we really need is a left-winger/striker.

 

Anita - Siss

    Marv

 

Is good enough to start for a top 10 side. Play Benny and Remy/Winger on each side of Remy/Cisse/Striker and we'll be fine. With injuries we have Bigi, Gosling, Tiote to play centrally and Ben Arfa to play in the Marv position.
