Disco Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Wonder if they made a bid to the club or just sounded out his agent? Find it hard to believe the clubs PR machine wouldn't have been all over rejecting a bid. Spurs got a way better player in Dembele anyway IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Completely different players really, I guess it would be a matter of preference who you'd have in your midfield. I would go for Dembele personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 There are several things about Cabaye I dislike tbf. and that is how he uses the ball. As the excellent passer he is he picks a brilliant pass rather often, and thats nice. But he ain't got the speed nor dribbling ability to go past players wich really limits his play sometimes. It forces him to take hasted decisions sometimes, as he can't twist and turn with the ball to wait for a better opportunity. Charging It also comes when charging towards defences to draw them out, as it helps against striker insolation. He also likes to play it from the deep wich doesn't really help us in the 442 either as he often gets quite stationary trying to keep the ball down there. Know this post makes me sound like I think he's a garbadge player, wich he is not, it's just areas I really think the team would benefit from him improving on. If he could do theese things it would relieve the pressure of Jonas as the carrier of the ball out of midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hydeous Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 It looks like Pardew prefers a defensive central midfield. I wonder how much more control we can have on the game if we have Tiote sitting behind Cabaye and Ben Arfa / Marveux playing in forward midfield positions. Will have to be only 1 up front though. @topic, I like Cabaye, would love for him to get back to last years form because he really hasn't shown anything this season yet.

Was for pretty much all last season and has started his campaign at Spurs with a bang. Exactly the type of player we could do with to help us drive forward a bit more from midfield.

Deuce Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Completely different players really, I guess it would be a matter of preference who you'd have in your midfield. I would go for Dembele personally. Actually, I think they compare quite favorably. Both are central midfielders who do better going forward than holding or dropping to defend.

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 The ball would be flying over Dembele's head like everyone else so his driving runs from midfield would not have much effect if we are honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Dembele reminds me more of Ben Arfa than Cabaye if we're doing comparisons. Anyway I hope Yo can impose himself a lot more in the coming games, needs to really get a grip on the game so we can try and keep the ball for longer than 1 minute.

Funnily enough Jonas is the most similar comparison - both attacking players who struggled with end product and have reshaped their games dropping back into midfield giving their side a bit of energy. Except Dembele retained his ability to glide past players in the blink of an eye whilst Jonas has lost his. Sure I read somewhere he completed more dribbles than anyone in the premiership last season. Was up there at least. Would be a pretty spectacular upgrade on Jonas, mind.

Apologies to the great man. Point still stands in relation to it being bad business though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
