Rebellious Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 In his entire time here, not once has Pardew played him in the right way, and in the right system, with the right style to get the best out of him. The run we had playing 4-3-3 season before last was just about the only time it resembled anything suiting him. He compensated by working his bollocks off because the way Pardew had/has us playing meant he would chase. As commendable as that is, i would much rather he was on the ball dictating the pace of a game, than chasing the ball around like a loon because of our managers ineptitude. This might help.

AY Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Pardew said that Cabaye was his Quarterback so he might have just confused him giving him instructions for a totally different sport. It would also explain the drop in form of other players Krul (wicket keeper) Tiote (Scrum half) Barfa (pie eating) and Ranger (footballer) This is my bugbear. If you have both a quarterback and a defensive midfielder, then you have two players side by side in the centre, neither getting forward, albeit with different roles. It doesn't work very well. Tiote should be pressingh higher up on the pitch. He gives ridicilous amount of silly and needless fouls and freekicks when he sits in front of CBs. Cabaye playing a bit deeper so he has time on the ball and can use his best attribute: passing. If he is higher up pressing the opp, he tires himself out in 60 minutes.

I think if one player presses higher up the pitch, they all have to do it. And I don't fancy Cabaye as the deepest-lying midfield player, because defensively he's weak. I'd be prepared to listen to offers for both. Our midfield is static and needs revamping. If we get decent enough fees, we ought to be able to put together a midfield that's a bit more dynamic down the centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words 'cloud' 'cuckoo' and 'land' spring to mind. Anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. He's not worth that IMO, but if PSG or Monaco are willing to pay such an amount we should surely be fleecing them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 If Cabaye did leave, De Guzman would be a good replacement, thought he looked very good for Swansea last year but he's back at Villarreal now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 £25m for the Frances first choice CM? Makes sense. France aren't very good though. It's the one thing I think of when people say NUFC should be good because we have a team full of French Internationals. France are about on par with England who also aren't very good. Having said that, if we sell Cabaye I hope it's for as much money as possible so if it was for £25m then fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
