Guest Roger Kint Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 We don't have to offer anything to make him stay, he's already agreed to his current contract. As you say though, we might want to sell if the price is right. I think he was sold a different vision that what he's seeing though. I bet he was promised signings and progression on the pitch, not the tight fisted nonsense we've had. Doesn't excuse not playing mind. This is exactly why Jose Enrique left. When we signed him we told him we'd be challenging to play Champions League football. Instead we got relegated He was a big part of why we got relegated though, not as shit as Colo first season but still.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 He has 3 years on his contract We bought him quite cheaply so we are not really risking a big investment in not playing him if it goes that far. Its a world cup year so he has to play. And also play well. Unless we get 20-25 mil for him, why on earth should we sell? Yep. My only concern is that his sale is directly linked to our chances of bringing in more players (LOL, etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is that his sale is directly linked to our chances of bringing in more players (LOL, etc). Given that he is widely believed to be a key character around the dressing room with the French contingent I'm not sure having him moping around in the stiffs is necessarily the best idea either, normally I'd be all for letting him train with the youths etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It did seem like we were willing to pay the fee for Gomis TBH, not contingent on selling anyone. Obviously the question is then why we haven't done any deals at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, if he is to stay, he needs to stay part of the first team squad, and play. He needs to play, for the World Cup, and we'll need him too as well.

Ikon Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 He hasn't been very good lately, but who has? Just have to think about the Chelsea game at home to remember how good he can be when the team works/plays like a team. Absolutely top class display in that game! Im sure that if he was to move on we'd realise how effective he can be, and good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 L'Equipe think PSG might be "cooling their interest". It could be that they have found out that Cabaye is more interested in going to Arsenal. In any case it seems unlikely that anyone is going to stump up the sort of fee we are looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 So one bid and he is still not going to play for us, so unprofessional, Baines and Fellaini both subject of Man U bids that were rejected and neither have made an issue of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Wey, we don't know that for certain, like. I doubt he will actually play though. He didn't seem to be involved in training at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope so, but I really wouldn't bet against it being some shitty games from the people who run our club. Pardew already said he'd dropped him, rather than Cabs refusing to play. Who knows.

LRD Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Darn amateurs should have used the injury excuse like Spurs do with Bale instead. That would not have put both club and player in a less favourable light, and ensure prolonged attention isn't on the player in case a sale falls through.

Skirge Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Drooped him because he had his head turned, I am sure if he was in the right frame of mind he would have played, he has now had days to get used to the situation but he is still not going to play. I know its easy to blame the club and yes its not a far fetched idea it could be games but I would not be shocked to find out it is Cabaye being in a huff.

hakka Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I never get this "not in the right frame of mind" bullshit that happens sometimes when a club bids for a player. I mean Cabaye is already a millionaire French international playing in the one of the biggest leagues in the world. So a bid from Arsenal means he can't play 90 mins of football to the best of his ability still? It's gutless bullshit. If the guy was working in Tesco's for minimum wage and got offered a multi-million pound contract to play for Arsenal I could understand mugging Tesco's off and not turning up for work. Oh well...

Tiresias Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 A player should be able to switch off external factors and play well for his team regardless of transfer stuff, if he can't handle that pressure he's not going to be able to handle pressure in games at all. It all seems smoke and mirrors for not wanting him to jeopardize his transfer by getting injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
