sempuki Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 £22m is a lot but we could weasel more out of PSG if necessary. Prefer not to sell him while we are doing so well and who would we buy to replace him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Probably a fair price but I still wouldn't want him to be sold on this form. Last season was poor from him, now he's got a World Cup to play for he's in the form of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
basjen Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Selling him for less than Fellaini? No way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 He would fit well in PSG. Cabaye as the advanced midfielder rotating with Pastore. Matuidi playing the destroyer with veratti playing as the regista Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Selling him for less than Fellaini? No way. The transfer market has too much variance to have a standard. Otherwise you'd be looking at any striker who scores more than 10 goals in a season being worth £35m cos that's what Liverpool paid for Carroll. Man United paid that much due to the combination of a clause and desperation. Is Cabaye better than Fellaini? On this form, yes. We'll not necessarily get as much for Cabaye as Everton did for Fellaini though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Clubs will take into account that he wanted away last summer, that he had a poor season last year, and that he's performing out of his skin with a World Cup on the horizon. First bid we get over £15m and his agent and Cabaye will be agitating for a move. I don't think we have much bargaining power unless we finish top 4 and invest in the summer.

Guest palnese Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Contracts are worth very little when a player wants away. What about Cabaye in August? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Arsenal offered a daft price and Cabaye had the qualification for the World Cup to think of. We apparently told them our valuation which was shy of £20m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Contracts are worth very little when a player wants away. On the contrary we kept hold of him in august because our valuation wasn't met and it will be exactly the same in January. He's our player we set the asking price, if he doesn't like it too bad.

Dave Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/10537577/Newcastle-United-v-Stoke-City-Alan-Pardews-team-exceeding-expectations-and-eyeing-a-place-in-Europe.html Newcastle’s form has mirrored that of their playmaker Yohan Cabaye. The France international was desperate to leave the club at the end of last season and went on strike in the summer when a £10.1m bid from Arsenal was rejected by Ashley. But the midfielder has refocused since that unpleasant episode and has been hugely impressive, something Pardew feels is a just reward for the club’s refusal to be bullied into selling him. The club have a gentlemen’s agreement in place with Cabaye and his agent which means he will not agitate to leave again in the January window, although Pardew does not see why he would want to. “He's in an environment where he's got pole position and he’s benefiting from that,” he said. “You don't always get that. You can get lost at some clubs [and just be a squad player].” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 He is playing better this season and improving, his value will only increase as the season continues, probably why we want to hold him until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hardly seems a high priority for them like, a more regular goalscorer/a centre half would make more sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
