Skeletor Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Not convinced he is at all reliable but Julian Larounge(?) is on the radio saying: Cabaye will leave for about €20m to Monaco. Kemen is a defensive midfielder? I thought he was a striker There is interest in Zouma/PEA, presumably using the money from Cabaye. Probably just the French version of Lee Ryder like Julien Laurens. Was spot on during January regarding us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 He does kind of have a point in fairness to him. There's far too many self proclaimed European football experts on here. Although it irks more when it develops into a warped sense of self importance, it's almost as if people are trying to fill the void left when Ronaldo started behaving like a decent human being.

Ketsbaia Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Same. That scare 2 weeks ago said £23m, which sounds fair. Would hate to see him leave, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Moody Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Obviously don't want Cabaye to go - but it might open a door for Anita/Marveaux to actually get a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Be very disappointed if we only got €20m for him. Especially from the money bags Monaco or PSG I think that's decent money tbh, only a moneybags club would pay that much. Not that I want to sell Cabaye, but he's more suited to continental football IMO, I doubt we'll become the sort of team to make best use of him in the next season or two, so if we are going to sell we might as well cash in to the max.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It depends what our plan for next season is IMO. If we're going 4-3-3 then we should absolutely find a place for Cabaye in the centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4-3-3's he figured in last season saw him playing in front of the defenders. If that's where he's going to play then you could play Anita or Tiote in those areas.

Which is why it wouldn't be the end of the world if Cabaye was sold. Anita/Tiote Sissoko Marveaux ^ Still a very tasty midfield. Cabaye was wasted in our midfield for the most part of last season. Played far too far back. Was starting to get a bit nasty with the tackle, too. Mind you, I'd much prefer to see him stay, and be used more efficiently.

KaKa Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I must admit when rumour of that big bid broke, the first thing I thought is that we must be sellign someone for big money, and if anyone it would most likely be Cabaye. There was talk in that article of moving to 4-3-3 that Ben Arfa would be given a free role next season as a number 10, so maybe we'll see Tiote and Sissoko behind him.

Limited for me this guy. Not sure we need a "DM" anyway, not in the traditional sense. I personally don't see Anita as a DM either myself. If he was used as distributor of the ball from a deep position then I can see that. Wouldnt want Sissoko wasted out too wide or too far forward. Want to see him driving forward as box to box type, probs centrally imo If Marveaux can stay fit he could be pivotal, provide the creative link to Sissy and HBA....and Bent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Pardew loves Tiote so I think he'll definitely still be first choice. Now if it comes to Tiote partnering Cabaye or Sissoko, Sissoko might be better, as Sissoko would be the one given license to go forward I would imagine. Meanwhile when Tiote has partnered Cabaye, Pardew has had Tiote as a box to box midfielder, which is awful. If Tiote is going to play he has to be given a very simple role.

healthyaddiction Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I think he was saying Anita/Tiote + Sissoko and Marveaux as a 3 man centre mid not as Sissoko and Marveaux out wide. And if we sold Cabaye and went with that where would the midfield depth be? You'd probably have: Anita Sissoko Marveaux As first choice and then: Tiote Bigi Perch/Vuckic? As second choice. That's a shocking second string. We need to buy a quality midfielder, not sell one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
