Cabaye is a total legend!

This was blatantly lifted from toonforum (credit to Speedo) but for those of you who don't have a login here we go...


Yohan Cabaye quoted on football365.fr: "Now people are saying Newcastle was the right choice because we're fourth or fifth in the table and we're going to play in Europe. People weren't saying that when I left. I knew it was the right choice because I was going to play. We've had a great season. There are still five games to go and we need to go out and get what we want and why not a Champions League place? It's the best league in the world for me. There are no easy games. The tempo is very high. I'm progressing and I've no regrets.

"Hatem often asks me things about what's going on within the French squad. He's working enormously hard. He's scoring important goals, beautiful goals. He's in form. I don't know if I can be objective when it comes to Hatem but he's playing great at the moment I really hope he'll be in the 23 for Euro 2012. It's not my decision, but if it was, I'd take him."

 

Good on Yohan, be great to see him and Benni shine in Euro 2012.

 

If taken, I genuinely think HBA will be the man of the tournament.

 

Hope so, Hatem has really matured apparently...

 

No offence to them both but a large part of me wants Cabaye to have a stinking tournament and Ben Arfa not to be on the plane....but only because I really really don't want to lose them. Love you Yohan and Benni!

 

Whereas I could see Cabaye struggling physically in the summer after a hard season, Benni could be coming to the boil at just the right time. I'd prefer both stay at home in readiness for what could be a big season for the club. But you have to accept players want to play. I think Blanc would be mad not to take Benni to be honest.
