Guest firetotheworks Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Debatable really. Our results with him compared to without him when he was injured were canny big iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Some of his quotes make it sound like Cabaye died unexpectedly while playing for us.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I think this has been asked before, so apologies, but where does he rank as an out and out midfielder over the years for everyone? For me it's Rob Lee then Cabaye and Speed battling it out for second, I change my mind often. Speed was in another league in terms of leadership, but without that it would comfortably be Cabaye for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Speed edges it for me over Cabaye - Lee definitely number one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Disagree he 's***s all over Herrera', you're judging him after what, 3 games for Manchester United. He's a fantastic player, it's only because he played for Bilbao that he wasn't picked by Del Bosque, a la Muniain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Rob Lee was way better imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 If we're judging Cabaye by his final 2 or 3 months, he might be better than Herrera. But his inconsistent 2.5 years as a whole? No chance. Herrera is really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thenorthumbrian Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Liverpool being linked with a move. The sad truth is that Liverpool are a properly run club with ambition. The complete opposite to United. If you were a player with any idea of success either in Europe or here why the hell would you come to Newcastle ?

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 He's just behind Lee for me like, Cabaye has far more to his game than Speed as good as he was. He even has attributes Lee didn't have, I.e. vision etc. for me Cabaye is a top top top player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Speed was very good from 1998 to 2003 I'd say. I can't see Cabaye being as consistent over that period. Speed was good at pretty much everything, and you need a CM like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Think Speed might also be more appreciated in this era of football than he was then actually - could do everything and chip in with goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Also, him and Dyer were a brilliant partnership in midfield. The best I've seen in our colours. They could both win the ball, play it and do damage in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Also, him and Dyer were a brilliant partnership in midfield. The best I've seen in our colours. They could both win the ball, play it and do damage in the final third. Both players would obviously improve us tenfold right now. When was the last time we had a CM capable of bringing the ball forward like Dyer used to? Edit. Actually we haven't had a player like that after Dyer.

Hughesy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Don't want to get into this again - but I think Dyer is and was hideously overrated. Obviously would walk into our team now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I disagree, thought he was absolutely brilliant when fit (and arsed). Just hoped he could shoot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I don't think Dyer was great but him and Speed were perfect together. They won midfield battles against some great teams, and when it mattered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Always loved when Dyer would go pick up the ball the deep and carry it forward. Funny how solid he was at CM. Wish the fucker would have scored more though always used to gasp or celebrate madly when he scored. Add to that his Southampton FA Cup away performance man. He looked unplayable.

Best performance I can remember from him. Did he score a brace or a hattrick that day? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellars Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Christ. Going back and watching Kieran Dyer highlights How exciting some of those teams were. Polar opposite to today :'( :'( :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Dyer did really well against Leeds (brace?) if i remember correctly? Didn't Solano play him through on goal with a great ball in that game as well? I've been too drunk too many times since then so im not sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 He could have been a helluva lot better but when you look back, even with his poor end product he brought so much to that team. His running and pace complimented the good end product of Shearer, Bellamy, Robert & Solano. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Dyer's best form for us came in his 1st season imo. I still don't know what his actual best position was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
