bowlingcrofty Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'd argue Habib Beye gave us better service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 12m according to SSN. Good business to effectively swap Debuchy for Janmaat and Riviere. Not a personal affront to you but I am sick of the term good business being banded about when it comes to transfers in football nowadays. I couldn't give a toss about the fee's we receive / pay nowadays. Fair enough, but you do keep pointing out we have money to spend or are up on transfers overall. We only have money to spend because of good 'business', as Ashley is apparently not prepared to invest and the club has to be self sufficient. Fingers crossed this change of players doesn't harm us too much, and hopefully works out well. No ill will towards the mighty 'Booch at all, good luck to him. Unless you have the mathematic ability of a dog, you'd be able to see the club is self sufficient and has been for the past 2-3 years. Aye, presumably because we've played the market (fairly) well. Sadly we're not going to spend unless we generate money, not that you give a shit obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Beye was better for about the same amount of time, especially defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Beye was better for about the same amount of time, especially defensively. Agreed. Think MD will do very well for Arsenal though. He'll have far more midfield options available to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 With a very decent looking replacement already signed, this could be good business. I think we need someone who can defend more than someone who can add to the fret down the side. Debuchy is also headstrong and dives in much more than he should. He looked a much better attacking player at the Euros than he did for us, so it'll be interesting to see what Wenger can get out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ah! Habib! Always forget he played for us! How smooth was that cat?! What a classy right back he was. Miss him terribly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Not really sad about him leaving, obviously a good player but wasn't anything spectacular, we got a pretty decent player in his place and sold him for twice what we paid in the end, good for all parties involved i guess.

Mr. Snrub Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Debuchy is comfortably a better player than Beye, dunno how or why this was brought up into a debate. Beye fucked off to Aston Villa because we got relegated, Debuchy is going to a team that will be challenging for the title whilst cementing his place as France's number 1 right back.

toontownman Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 In comparison Debuchy looked like a rabbit in headlights defending. Beye never even broke a sweat. We got him just at the end of his peak. Too bad, probably my favourite RB to play for the club, oozed class in that first season.. was gutted he dropped us in the relegation season. How much of that was him, his agent or the club telling him to take a pay cut or pushing him out who knows. Remember thinking he was dead cert to stay. He always seemed honorable.

TBG Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 “When my agents told me Arsenal were interested, I said yes straight away! There was no question, no debate, no doubt, nothing! You don’t turn down a club like Arsenal. A lot of players would like to be in my shoes right now. “This is another dimension. If you compare the training grounds for example, nothing at Lille or Newcastle can match the Arsenal one. It is another world. http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/145/104/130998629900120110725-22047-o4ie3r.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Lads made a step up in class. Sad and unpallatable as it is to admit it. Probably find most things done with that bit more professionalism and touch of arrogance/class that makes all the differnce. like the CEO of Costcutter or Farmfoods moving to Waitrose or Marks and Sparks. Things just done to a higher standard and that touch more 'classy'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That proves nothing nor is it even the point that was brought up. Beye was better for us in the time that he played for us than Debuchy was in the time that he played for us. That's the entirety of the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Debuchy's a better footballer, Beye by far the better defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
