biggs Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The trouble is that Arsenal appear to be the only team in for Cabaye. PSG and Monaco haven't bid for him. Cabaye wants to leave so it doesn't exactly put NUFC in a position of power. NUFC's options appear to be to sell him to Arsenal for much less than we want or have him moping around until January (after his performances last season I can't see Cabaye playing good enough to encourage other teams to come in for him in the January transfer window). we hold the cards imho ,if its true that he refuses to pay seek legal advice and tell Arsenal our valuation take it or leave it ,Cabaye has been a disgrace in my view as all he has to do is clear it all up but says nowt and in my eyes he is the bad boy here. The problem is I can see Cabaye sulking all season if he doesn't get a move. I can't picture him busting a gut for us. It's a World Cup year so you'd think he'd be up for it but after his poor season last season I wouldn't bet on it. Will he play well for us to try to get a move in January if he doesn't move before this transfer window? A proper person would bust a gut to try and get into the French squad for the world cup but this kernt is pathetic and lets be honest a lot of fans feel let down by his behaviour in the last year .

Ketsbaia Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 In todays market easily worth £20million I'd definitely hold out for £20m. Today's market is strange though - £20m is less than what Carroll, Downing (ish) and Illarramendi fetched (Yo is better than them) but more than what Cazorla, Coutinho, Navas and Ozil cost (who are all better than him). So there's not much perspective anymore. But with 3 years left on his deal, we can certainly demand a large fee. Maybe take note from Spurs when they held firm with Modric.

Guest icemanblue Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Fuck them. £20m is the price. He's contracted to us for another three years, and I'm not sure we need to sell. Although, I am sure we'd like to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 keep him, if he has a good World Cup he will be worth well more than £13m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Dawg UK Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 keep him, if he has a good World Cup he will be worth well more than £13m in the present climate he will be no where near the French squad !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Honestly I do still want him because I think he's quality. Agree. We also presumably have no replacement lined up of comparable or better quality, and I doubt - with the 'ambition' being shown by the club - that a player of such calibre would want to join this sinking ship.

TRon Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 keep him, if he has a good World Cup he will be worth well more than £13m in the present climate he will be no where near the French squad !! It depends, he might not look like much in our set up, but in a passing side like Arsenal's he could look a different player. That's another problem with having a shite manager, he is going to devalue the technical players by making them play a game they aren't suited to.

Ste Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I would hope we are giving interested clubs a deadline to meet our asking price, and I hope that deadline leaves us with enough time to recruit his replacement. Of course we're not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Arsenal are doing to is what we do to others. Hard to complain. Still think we should tell them to sod off but our desire to sell has been so clear since July, sometimes seeming to border on desperation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I really have no preference at this point whether he stays or goes. But regardless, I'm confident the club will make whichever the worst possible choice is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The thing is that it's fair enough saying "Hold out for £20m" but in my eyes the longer we hold out the less likely it is it'll be spent this window, when we need it most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 he needs to go like, no 2 ways about it because his head won't be right, pardew will inevitably play him in every game and leave people like anita on the bench and play sissoko on the wing to accommodate him better if he left ASAP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 OK, had enough now..... if all's said is true, he needs to p*ss off sharpish and we need to draw a line under the whole affair. Drain Arsenal or PSG for maximum cash and boot him out. After last season's craven show and complete lack of effort does he really think he holds all the cards?
