Christ, what side of the bed did you get out of.

he is OK - decent - but not much more than that and rather less than the Newcastle version - on Cabaye, Townsend and Benteke we have spent £57 million - other teams have lesser names with better quality - Everton spent fortunes in the summer but some of their best players the other day Gueye, Davies and Kenny cost £7 million in total - getting proven qualiy is one thing, buying at the top of the market (like Everton did for Bolasie) or past its sell by date is another.

You wont get any pelters from me...he's been chasing shadows for much of the last 18months bar the odd game (most noticeably Chelski at home this season). He only has the fitness for 30mins max of what is required nowadays...which is a shame.

I'd sooner see Jimmy Mac dropped alongside Luka now and Rakip given a chance in the 'hole'.

Even then I dont see Jimmy Mac being the answer...just that he'd have more energy than Cabaye in that position until the end of the season. Reidewald would be my preferred option as his probably the best passer of the ball we have...but he needs to be a little more physical.

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

Just not been as effective in the role he was brought in to do. And Jedi was basically outed to make way for him. Looks like Jedi will be be back in the PL with Villa next season. We’ll see then if he’s too old to do what he does best then. We have become quite ageist at CPFC to our detriment.
Back to Cabaye, he’s been okay for us but can’t say he has done much worth writing home about. Like Benteke he isn’t the player he was when he was with his other PL employer. He has however helped raise the profile of the club and I would suggest has helped other high profile players consider joining us. For that I am grateful. He took a risk joining us at the time and that should not be overlooked.

His pass accuracy in terms of % might be impressive but stats can be misleading.

I recall the Cabaye of old at Newcastle and admired his ability. Im afraid the passing of time has blunted his effectiveness when playing over 90 mins and I suspect that in the main our supporters will conclude that he hasn't lived up to expectations.

A recent post mentioned that he only had the fitness to last 30 mins - I can understand where this is coming from and I did mention that he would be useful coming off the bench in the last 20 mins against flagging opposition.At the moment Hodgson has no option but to start Cabaye.

Yes I was discussing Cabaye on my allotment this morning with Fred who grows the best runner beans in Brighton & he said, Cabaye can`t kick with his left foot, he can`t head the ball, he can`t tackle & he doesn`t score many goals. Apart from that he`s all right.
