Guest reefatoon Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 As if anyone can blame him in the slightest for having had enough with this bloody cowboy outfit we call our football club. It's not really a case of that, it's more that he spat his dummy out at the start of the season and wouldn't play for us. As soon as a player does that then they can go and get fucked, doesn't matter how big a player they are, it's something you just don't do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I don't remember any of our fans being particularly outraged when Ben Arfa refused to play for Marseille so he could get his move to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I do as well have weird feelings for this man. I bet we could have had him around if we didn't have a twat manager and owner though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Him not going to another premier league club helped in me continuing to like him. He was also a genuinely brilliant footballer. Very few midfielders that I'd put ahead of him in the PL era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TruToon94 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Showed how much he cared about fans when he pushed a ballboy, what a twat. He was abysmal that season when we finished 16th as well. That said he was obviously our best player this season and I don't blame him for leaving at all as he's clearly class. Just a shame to imagine we could have had him and Ben Arfa as the heartbeat of the team at the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 He wasn't very good, yet was still one of our better players. He pushed the Everton ball boy like, not that it matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miercoles Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Nothing but love for Cabaye, I really miss having an honest-to-god legitimate hope of scoring when we got a free kick. Now it's just a question of which player will hoof it into the stands. So he protested against the regime and fucked off to a different club, I can't blame him. We have a whole forum dedicated to the first, and any footballer with some self respect would attempt the second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Translation YCabayeofficiel @: @ Gaetan_C I'm lucky to play Park where the atmosphere is very good. But I will never forget St. James Park # cabayelive Probably still sees the Sports Direct logos when he closes his eyes at night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hard to hold a grudge against him. An excellent player at his peak not willing to throw away his career at this amateur club, with no ambition or managerial presence throughout. same can be applied to Debuchy when he leaves. I personally question any player who isn't born in to this that would want to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't really buy this 'threw away his career' stuff TBH, even though I like Cabaye. He couldn't have possibly thought we were instantly going to become a champions league club when he signed his contract. He might have been let down over the style of football, but he should have known who NUFC was. I don't have a problem with him leaving to PSG, that's normal, I don't see the need to pretend he was some sort of victim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Still got love for Cabaye due to his performances. I didn't like how he went on at times but he knew the club has zero plans to go anywhere and he's in the prime of his career. If I were advising him, I would've told him to act a twat too tbh. He dusted himself down and played brilliantly for the next 4 months. Had we been a club with any ambition we would've looked to have secured a long-term big money contract for his services - we didn't even try. You look at L'pool, they had a player do the same thing but they coughed up the money and told him they planned to join the big boys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet in his first season we almost got into the Champions League and with more spending and a better manager at that point would have had every chance of doing it again the following year.

AlanSkÃrare Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 We could easily have challenged for Champions League in 2012/13 if we'd gotten rid of Pardew and invested a little bit in the summer rather than January. GK: Krul RB: Debuchy, Simpson CD: Coloccini, Yanga-M'Biwa, Taylor, Williamson LB: Santon, Haidara MC: Anita, Sissoko, Cabaye, Tioté, Marveaux, Bigirimana FW: Hatem, Gouffran, Ba, Cissé, Rémy, Sholz, Campbell Plenty of room to alter formations and rotate. Players to play good football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
