Skeletor Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Been linked quite a bit recently. About time he had his own thread I think. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/06/20/yohan-cabaye-french-influx-will-boost-nufc-72703-28907590/#ixzz1Pod6Klfj And, with United having made contact with Saint Etienne over their all-action midfielder Blaise Matuidi, it is clear the chase for French talent is not over yet. Pardew is considering a complete change of approach and believes the injection of Gallic flair will add pace and greater creativity to their midfield mix.

oldtype Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just recalled that I had him, Marveaux, and Ben Arfa on one of my first Football Manager Live games Nailed on to happen then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I had him and M'Bengue in one of my pro evo teams. Was beginning to think I had control over real life happenings like some kind of voodoo doll . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest axel Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Can't see us bidding 15m euros for a midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 If we could compromise to about £8m, I'd be ecstatic with this signing. Anything above £10m is too much for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Where is he supposed to play? Let's not go all Liverpoolish about signing players and not think about where to play them. For me, a midfield triangle with Cabaye-Tioté sitting behind Ben Arfa in a free role is good enough. Surely Matuidi would mean Ben Arfa moving to a wide role and Cabaye being pushed further up the pitch. I'd rather we spent this kind of money on a really good striker instead of getting Erdinc for £8-10m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 its unlikely all 4 of them will be available at once, either throughinjuries or suspensions. He may go for 2 Dm away from hope so tiote+matuidi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I get the feeling we want to try and go 433/451 next season. Tiote, Cabaye and Matuidi in the middle, HBA and Marveaux alternating between wingers and wide fowards with Ba up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WashyGeordie Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I thought we actually had a bid accepted or something when i first read/opened the thread! bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 aye the more i think about this the more i think he'll want 2 hard bastards in the middle to back up the sexy and potentially flimsy front line we're assembling cabaye is apparently a hard-working box-to-boxer so tiote+ new CM/DM, cabaye licence to get up and down and the other 3 work their magic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 These French guys have got to be on lower wages if we can afford to fit them all into the squad. I'm all for it as we need quality depth. My only other concern would be for some of our younger players like Ferguson and Vuckic and if we can get them on the pitch, too.

David Icke - Son of God Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 In theory we've still got £35 million from the Carroll deal, so spending around £11 million on Matuidi shouldn't be a problem. In theory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I thought we actually had a bid accepted or something when i first read/opened the thread! bastard. Same here. I'll check back when there's some sign that this is more likely to happen. The valuations are still miles apart at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
