Hope we stick to it. He's got 3 years left so we don't have to take any offer just to appease him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We don't have to take an offer but i think it's best for everyone now if Cabaye goes. Preferably back to France. Last season he was performing at about 60% of the level we know he's capable of, if he's still with us in a fortnights time he'll be even worse.

Disco Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Journal's take... Pretty soon, we will know for sure whether Newcastle United’s dysfunctional new management structure is fundamentally flawed. The issues bubbling away all summer – Joe Kinnear’s unsuitability for the complex role handed to him over the summer, the apparent lack of transfer funds – will finally boil over now that interest in prize asset Yohan Cabaye has been firmed up. With Arsenal pulling the trigger and firing the first shots in the bidding war for Newcastle’s prize asset, Kinnear will find no hiding place. That is the top and bottom of yesterday’s depressingly predictable development. Because if Cabaye goes and United are either unwilling or unable to bring in a replacement, it poses the biggest question mark yet after Kinnear’s questionable appointment. Newcastle have known all summer that they were on shaky ground when it came to Cabaye. The club were very aware of the player’s desire to play Champions League football in the run-up to the World Cup, and while no explicit conversation took place between manager and midfielder, an understanding was reached early on in the summer. That pact was basically that Cabaye had to maintain a professional attitude, get on with his work and represent Newcastle as best he could – and in return Newcastle would consider offers for the right price. Basically, the same deal for every player in the Magpies squad in the Mike Ashley era. The inconsistency last night was that Arsenal’s price patently wasn’t right. Newcastle value him closer to the £20million mark, and until Arsenal come closer to United’s valuation there will be no deal. But Cabaye was left out anyway, with Pardew clearly of the opinion that the player’s head wouldn’t be in the right place to play. For that, the player must take a lion’s share of the blame – especially as his agent was spinning furiously to journalists in France throughout the day. Newcastle’s reaction was predictably furious – and with justification. The timing of Arsenal’s bid was very poor, and Arsene Wenger’s desperation to broker a deal has seen him forget that famous Gunners class that the club like to ram down our throats. United find themselves boxed into a corner, but unlike coming up with a coherent strategy for his football club, dealing with bids for Newcastle’s existing players is something Mike Ashley is actually quite good at. They won’t sell unless Arsenal come closer to United’s valuation. As for everything else, there is less certainty. Newcastle’s summer has been pitiful; Ashley’s calls have been terrible and the club don’t appear to have any discernible direction anymore. The fact that Kinnear is now the most powerful person at St James’ Park barring Ashley himself is risible – and the director of football’s inability to secure the recruits the club patently needs is desperate. We are now staring down the barrel at a summer where Newcastle – who stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season – might actually end this transfer window significantly weaker than they were when it started. That is breathtaking. If Cabaye goes, United will have funds but they will need a creative midfielder and a striker – the two most difficult positions on the field to bring in players. Nothing we have seen so far suggests Kinnear – at least if he is unaided by the many good people at the club who whose influence was diluted by his appointment – will find it easy. Kinnear and Ashley have created this mess. They have 14 days to rectify it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellious Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I would let him go anywhere for 15m based on last season, the season before that I would have been pissed off at any price. I would spend the money on any right back that would be willing to move. Debuchy hasn`t impressed me since I saw him play for France in the euros.

Jack Flash Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Gosling scores quite often for the reserves/u21 and goals from midfield is something we badly need, especially in our next few games which we'll be hopefully trying to win. We've got nothing to lose by giving him a go really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Gosling will do one of two things if its to work out for him. Have a stormer for a few games then get injured or have a stormer then leave at the end of the season on a free transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We so desperately need a midfielder who sores goals at present we have less than half a dozen goals a season in our midfield It's shocking and easily the worst in the division by a mile on goals return Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 SSN also said NUFC believe Arsenals bid was nothing more than an attempt at appeasing their fans and that they really have no interest in signing Cabaye.

Jack Flash Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Bigi is already a better player than Gosling. Different positions. Bigi tends to hang back (unless he's on the fucking wing again) while Gosling will try and get in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If I was him I'd be sat at the Eurostar waiting to hear what bid gets accepted, full Arsenal and PSG kit in my bag, and maybe a Monaco kit too, just in case. The negatives at NUFC far outweigh any positives, and there's only so long you can expect players to put up with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
