Disco Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He must really love the bigger wages afforded to him by moving to the Premier League but will use the pretence of having a football friend to say otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikos34 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I seriously hope this guy does sign more than ever now mind. 6 months too late like! I liked what I saw of him at the Euros, was always available and wanted to bomb on at every opportunity. He seemed refreshingly more aggressive than the average French mercenary too. After tonight I bet he's itching to get out there and rampage down the right flank with Willo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I hope Cabaye is employing his powers of persuasion to the fullest extent. So to speak. It's a good thing we've got Cabaye here really otherwise I wouldn't have envisaged Debuchy ever coming here. Having said that, it will be a happy day when he signs.

In any wide position its essential for a player to be skillful and creative. Whether he can then go and kick lumps off the opposition winger comes secondary to me. If we'd have set up from the off this season with 3 centre backs and Santon & Fergie as wing backs, our league position would be much healthier right now. Its a back 3 that provides good defensive cover at all times. A system we never seem to want to play! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 George Caulkin @CaulkinTheTimes Pardew on Debuchy: “fingers crossed he passes the medical, that’s probably key to that." Says personal terms talks "have gone well." What the fuck does that even mean? Obviously a player passing a medical is vital otherwise what's the point? Pardew doesn't half come out with some shit. By far the worst "speaker" we've ever had as manager in my time supporting the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 As long as he doesn't desperately try to blast balls past/through players, treat the ball like its going to rape him and can put his foot on the ball with his head up; looking to play a sensible pass, then I forsee a vast improvement. Let pards moan at him for not putting his foot in and running faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
