17 million bid for cabye to be made

Hope not. He is useless. No better than Cleverley or Anderson. If this is the big signing, then we might as well give up now.

Completely disagree Nomidfield.
Cabaye is box to box midfielder we have been looking for / crying out for.

How you can mention Anderson and Cabaye in the same breadth is beyond me. I'm not a massive fan of Cleverley either but Cabaye is head and shoulders above what we have now save Carrick.

£17m is a great buy. Assuming its kosher which let's be honest who knows!

Anderson and Cleverley are better.Really don't understand people always thinking the grass is always greener.All our midfielders are good players (not great) but we are weak there and need to strengthen.Only a Modric or Fabregas though and not a Cabaye.That would just be buying for the sake of it.

Well if we get cabbaye that shows our ambition most underwhelming

Cabaye had one good season and wasnt that great last year. In my opinion he's worth about 10m and nowhere near good enough for us. We need a solid powerful midfield.I would be in favour of kondogbia, he's younger and a real physical presence.

Have you watched Newcastle Cabaye has no pace or power he is ok on the ball but he isn't really box to box. I would be surprised if we were interested anyway.

With Nomidfield on this one, Cabaye? We are Manchester United aiming to be the best, can you imagine a press conference where Moyes and Woodward announce we have signed Cabaye because he is the best? When the laughter amongst the press ceased they would pull us to pieces. If you asked our players for who challenged them do you really think Cabayes name came up?

Cleverley would struggle to get in the squads of Europes other elite teams. As for fatty Anderson, when he's fit, once every 6 weeks he can be fair, until he gets out of breadth afrter 45 minutes. Cabaye is streets better than these two.Rose tinted specs in hyper drive by some of you fellows.

Rather have Fellaini than Cabaye.

Cabaye not good enough for United seemingly but can cut it regularly for the French national team. Most bizarre.

Cabeye has quality but not what we need. He is quite similar to Modric. Probably stronger on the ball than Modric but no real pace and has not been tested at a top team. I do believe that although they play different positions I would rather have Fellani as I think he would strengthen us more. Of course I would rather Fab or Modric but if it was a choice between Cabeye and Fellani I would choose Fellani. unless we bought both?

I have to expect none of you have actually watched Newcastle very much. Cabaye was a massive stand out player his first year and last year was injured twice in the first couple of minths and Pardrew has openly admitted he brought him back far too early as he felt he had to as his team were flagging. Its no coincidence that even though they were never in any real danger when Cabaye giot back to playing properly Newcastle pulled clear of danger.

I suppose Blanc with all his money at PSG is stupid for picking out Cabaye as the one he wants with him?

Or maybe he sees what only a few on here can and that is he is a gem of a player and when the Vidals, Fabregas's are unavailable he is right up there with the best about especially for that price!

Nio better than Anderson or Cleverly there is literally no point in arguing against red tinted specs like that.

Cabaye would be an improvement simple as that and add creativity, bite and interceptions all in one, plus knows the league, best years coming up and is used to this country. For 15-20m there is not much more of an instant improvement out there.

How is signing Cabaye showing underwhelming ambition?

Top player in a position we need and a safe bet for the price. The reason we have not signed any world class players is because nobody wants to sell them, the reason no other 'big' teams are after him is that no other big team has the problems in CM as they all have their CM sorted and most include top CMers already.

Although I will agree if we could get ANY player in the world I myself wouldn't pick Cabaye as Vidal would be my instant pick but when none else are available as our Fabregas persuit has shown we still need to get bodies in and Cabaye IMO would be top of the next band down and is definitely needed.
