Cajun Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Come from here: NEWCASTLE PUT £25M PRICE TAG ON YOHAN CABAYE NEWCASTLE have slapped a £25million price tag on midfielder Yohan Cabaye. Toon fear the France star, 27, will demand a transfer when he returns for pre-season training. Cabaye, who has been tracked by Manchester United, Arsenal and Monaco, is wanted by PSG. Laurent Blanc has replaced Carlo Ancelotti as Paris boss and was in charge of Cabaye as France coach. But Newcastle, who paid Lille £4.5m for him two years ago, are determined to hold out for the best possible deal. Their valuation would more than cover the cost of a move for St-Etienne striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Interest in the Gabon, star, 24, has intensified with Toon keen on a double deal including France Under-20s defender Kurt Zouma, 18. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/323512/? That is where my fear ends. Words like fear, expect, apparently etc.. in a journalistic piece just give them licence to make up what they want. Also the double deal thing has been ruled out as bollocks hasn't it? Lazy journalism as always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Really have zero optimism for next season so this won't change a thing, not looking forward to watching the shit Pardew calls football anyway and Cabaye is wasted in a Pardew lineup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Cabaye and Tiote both likely to go? I hope we have replacements lined up or this could get ugly. Oh we'll get plenty of British grit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 In many ways it doesn't really matter who comes out who goes, the bloke in charge of the team is useless and I've got zero faith in him. He simply can't get the best out of his squad and he is the replacement we need. You can buy him as many good players as you want he's still going to under achieve with them.

Minhosa Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm not sure that a total change in our centre of the park philosophy is the worst thing in the world. It's clearly not worked with Tiote/Cabaye for ages. There's no doubt Cabaye would excel in a decent team, arguably built around him to an extent, but we're not that.

Ketsbaia Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 £25m is a class fee for someone who hasn’t consistently played well. Not that I’m blaming him, it’s obviously Pardew and his tactics. I like the idea of Cabaye and he's scored some vital goals but the reality is that it’ll never really work with Pardew here. Cabaye is good and he’ll go on to show it but if that £25m goes towards Aubameyang and a cheaper replacement, we'll cope. Won't miss those corners though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the midfield needs a shake up. Cabaye or no Cabaye, I don't think it works very well. Agree and think the presence of Cabaye (under Pardew at least) influences that. He's a nice technical player but he's not got much presence, doesn't score that many goals, doesn't create all that much and doesn't drive a team forward. If you surround him with players who can dominate then he'd look immense but as it is he looks lost more often than not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Cabaye is genuine quality man, there's absolutely no disputing that. He has genuine quality, yeah. His suitability to this league is questionable. Fair enough, but I see him getting beaten with sticks like "is poor at tackling", "has no stamina" and "gives away too many fouls" in attempts to prove this point. The first two are absolutely laughable and can be disputed with stats if people's eyes aren't capable of seeing it in the first place, while the latter is hardly the problem it is made out to be at times for someone in his position. I'll admit his corners are very poor for someone of such technique but other than that I think he's been a diamond in what he's been asked to do in this team, he's not playing his game at all and he's still been impressive in the main. I'd argue he's our most technically proficient player overall and I'll be gutted if he goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I've never beaten him with the tackling stick. It's his mobility, dribbling, presence going forward and consistency I have issues with. I do think he fades pretty badly after 70 minutes, like. For the record I do want to keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should tell someone else to take them, though. In any case, that's not something that makes him a bad fit for Premier League. When it comes to his play, we can't be sure what Pardew tells him to do. I'm sure he'd make runs to support the attack if that was what he'd been told to. Cabaye has got that part of the game in him. He has shown that in France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
