Yohan Cabaye has nothing in his contract about first team football, no Newcastle player does or likely will in the near future. So unless the FA for whatever reason have made a new rule stating any player that does not play has a right to leave when he fancies then he'll be waiting his 3 years.

The only clause in Cabaye's contract is a £34 million buy out clause.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

The FA haven't it's European law and it's been around a while, the concept of rotting in the reserves no longer exists, don't play him and he can go on a free although I seem to recall something about him having to pay up the rest of his contract first, in this case though with no transfer fee to pay the signing club would happily cover that and more with a bumper signing on fee.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

What about having him sit on the bench. Completely in the dark about such law but what happens if said player refuses to play?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

He'll just keep on being fined if he refuses to play and those matches shouldn't form part of the percentage that entitles him to leave on a free, same as they didn't for Tevez. I think the bench will be ok as he's been selected but he'll be a disruptive presence being around the squad on matchday, better to get shot of imo for as much as the club can get to a French team if possible, that's the only moral high ground available to your club here, not to sell him to the club that's turned his head.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yeah if the whole thing spun out of control Cabaye probably could leave next year much cheaper. Arsenal are probably done with this anyway as they're not, rightly, going to go as high as £20 million for Cabaye so Newcastle have to hope PSG do but latest rumours are they pulled out for the same reason. Unless Newcastle cave in he'll stay there. I would rather Arsenal got Di Maria and such anyway.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

PSG wont go for Cabaye. Monaco are going in for Geoffrey Kondogbia.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I would rather go for Kondogbia than Cabaye...

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I'd rather Fellaini and Sakho. 2 powerhouses :(

tbh I can somewhat understand the interest in signing Flamini and Cabaye, moving Sagna etc. but theres no getting around Arsenal needing a quality AM that can play across the field, a CF and GK.

Guillem Balague & Gerry Armstrong on Revista De La Liga...

On Bale. Tottenham pee'd off that RM and RM sponsors moved forward selling shirts, erecting stage and Bale and Perez were together in Marbella so Levy halted talks and moved the 'goalposts'. RM have now adjusted their offer too. RM don't want to break Ronaldos record fee because Ronaldo has raised concerns.

RM are right to be annoyed its taking soo long but from Tottenhams point of view you can somewhat understand they want to sort their own business out before this is signed off so they dont get ripped by the clubs their buying from.

Speaking of other RM players. Di Maria interest from Arsenal. Ozil interest from England. Theres no concrete interest but Balague feels RM will go in for Suarez if players are lost and to replace Higuain.

Ozil at the weekend was subbed, went straight down the tunnel got changed and got on the coach and moaned. Di Maria and Ozil want to stay at RM. RM want to give Isco more time to play which will limit others. If they go for Suarez then they will want to fund it from sales.

On Mata. Jose wants him to stay at Chelsea. Atletico Madrid reckon Chelsea will sell. The player feels unwanted.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I really hope we put a bid in for Ozil. I don't know why Madrid would want to sell him, i think he is top quality.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Thanks. Had no idea this could happen. The situation just got a whole lot more confusing now. I agree with others though I could see Mike flogging him to PSG for half the price he demanded from Arsenal. Mike Ashley might be grinning but if he fails to move and suddenly starts playing again what kind of reception will he receive. But you're right it's better to get rid asap. I don't care if he goes though. I get annoyed when players are rated higher than they are. Especially annoyed when it's our own and some fans worship him like a god.

Just another normal day on tyneside.

But he wins trophy's Colin and that's why he is wanted by many big clubs.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Time to do a professional job Arsenal. Job isn't done yet.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

So did rafa, but you got rid of him.

I have said many a time, i want to enjoy the games i watch. If 1-0s or dire football means winning titles, i will pass. I can think of better things to spend money on, next you will be saying "lets all play like stoke" :D
