midds Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I don't know how anyone can have a go at any of our players for wanting to leave, especially those who are actually decent and want to play in Europe. True but then you got to question why they came in the first place. More money probably but I bet they were sold a vision of the club that simply doesn't exist. We're (publically pushing the agenda that we're) aming for x,y and z but really we're happy to simply exist in the PL. Fuck your dreams and ambitions.

Yeh I do recall Cabaye mentioning something about Pardew wanting to play the game the right way or something of those lines when he joined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 No doubt we are seen as a stepping stone. However, with real ambition you can build on that the way Spurs have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The thing is though, that's exactly how Cabaye, Mbiwa, Debuchy & Sissoko would have viewed us anyway. Stepping stone to showcase their ability then move on.

Guest TruToon94 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Blindingly talented RB. Can't believe he plays for us TBH. Best RB we've had for ages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Beye was very good 07/08 but had an awful 08/09 and never looked the same after the injuries he had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Beye was class for one season. We signed him maybe 3 years too late, only got one year of his peak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Debuchy individually is the best I've seen for us. Aaron Hughes was helped by a great team (and Solano) and subsequently played some even better football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Beye is still the best all-round that I've seen, even if it was just for one season. Defensively he was a lot better than Debuchy and he was still pretty good going forward, if not quite as good as Debuchy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Should never have jettisoned Aaron Hughes no frills but one of the most dependable and reliable defenders I've seen. Could have stayed here and become a hero if allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hughes was a decent squad player, and it was silly to get rid of him, but I'd have never put him in my strongest lineup at any time back when he played for us. He's not on the same level as Debuchy and Beye IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Well - bearing in mind he has been playing as a centre half for the last 7 years or so, I am not sure why we would compare him to right backs anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Was a pointless thing to say really Hold on a minute, he played at right back for us, amongst other positions and his name was mentioned in a thread about our current right back. Do you seriously not see why people would voice an opinion over a comparison? Your "I'm going to mock your opinion " comments are pointless if anything.

merlin Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Debuchy is very good, but in my opinion, Irving Nattrass was a better defender and could certainly play in more positions. Going even further back, David Craig was a really excellent RB and also better in defence than Debuchy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
