Pata Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Putting aside the fact that his departure needn't be an inevitability... I'd hoped we would hang on for a bit more cash. I'm not gonna sit here and define a player by his value in the transfer market - but the facts are: he's a brilliant player, he's in brilliant form, he's a French starter, prime age, PSG are absolutely loaded. £21m would be the second highest fee we've ever received but I still reckon we could get more for him. Definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's sad for him to leave, but people shouldn't get pissed off. He's got the opportunity to play in the CL, win a trophy, live in Paris and get a huge wage hike. Also getting to play with Zlatan would be pretty cool.

The College Dropout Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 3rd season out of 4 where we have sold our best player in January? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 If he wants to go, let him go and I hope he flops like Carroll did. Just make sure we get the best possible fee for him but (and this is the big but) make sure we replace him with the money! Hope he does well there. Not being in the same league changes everything for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Yeah, people seem to be forgetting that he actually wants to leave. We've got a player who went on strike the first few weeks of the season because we wouldn't accept a paltry offer from Arsenal. I don't think you can put this down to lack of ambition.

jdckelly Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Lets be honest we never have sold our best players unless they wanted to leave, or for extortionate amounts. First time for everything I suppose. Fellaini cost significantly more than this for fucks sake. throw in english selling to english tax, a moyes tax since they were stupid enough not to use the clause they had to be aware existed and late window desperation tax Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Can understand why he would want to leave, we have nowt to play for I would be surprised if we bought a replacement first, seems quite unlike us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the opportunity to play in the CL, win a trophy, live in Paris and get a huge wage hike. Also getting to play with Zlatan would be pretty cool. I wouldn't begrudge him the move at all, really. I'll have an immovable pride in our club so long as the stripes are black and white, but in the context of today's game - our club doesn't strive to reach the heights a player like him is capable of reaching. Between us and PSG he'd pick them every time and I'd find it difficult to argue. It needn't have been like this, though. We've got so much potential, especially when the league is in such a transitional period. Ah well. Gutting, but nowt we didn't all see coming.

Guest chopey Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Well i for one will see it as a pleasure to see Cabaye turn out for the mighty PSG. I paid £602 for a season ticket to see players like him play for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
