No official fee will be given. It's probably nearer 25m but the club will report it as anything from 15m-25m as we want the clubs that we wish to buy off to believe we're not loaded with cash.
Great player, great memories (some bad ones too) and he leaves at a good time. We're not in danger of relegation etc.
Hopefully the club put the funds to good use and in this window.
Supposedly been in negotiations for di Jong for appox 3 weeks so finding a replacement in 3 days for cabaye I'm not holding out much hope ! Especially with our director of football !
Fingers crossed mate I hope your rightWe might well find that Plan A was to keep Cabaye, but knowing that it was very possible that he would go (size of offer v summer buy out clause v keeping unhappy player), and now that Plan A has gone we may well find out that Plan B is already in place ready to be implemented. Wishful thinking perhaps, but possible.
Reckon there's any chance of a farewell performance tomorrow to atone for his antics in the summer? Seems unlikely as it looks like everything is in place for things to be wrapped up sharpish, and I wouldn't be surprised if he is already in Paris as we speak, but it would be nice to see him sign off with a win and maybe a goal. (Although I suppose technically he did...)
