I was on here in the summer saying would you guys take Cabaye, I was shouted down saying he is not good enough. Now it looks like your after him, suddenly he is good enough. Your problem is he will cost 20m + as its not always about how much a player is worth, its now out bidding others. PSG, Arsenal and I wouldn't rule out Liverpool ether. good luck getting him for less than 20m

1.) I would rule out Liverpool straight away.

I would be disappointed if we spent £20m+ on Cabaye. There are better players out there, younger and cheaper.

2.) And he still isn't good enough, IF we do buy him I hope he turns into some sort of midfield monster and I'll hold my hands up

3.) Out of interest who would you prefer?

I'd rather see Vidal or Martinez but they're going to be more expensive.

Maybe Bangea? McCarthy?

4.) Vidal Vidal Vidal!

5.) Cabaye is premier league tried and tested, who can say if an expensive foreign import will cut it in the prem?

6.) John, were you happy the last time we bought a tried and tested EPL midfielder?

7.) Vidal is the embodiment of a Premier League player. Like Robson, Essein, Gerrard, and Lampard did some sort "Twins" style experiment to create him.

Question is will he agree to come and can we do a deal? With Juve looking at Guarin looks promising but if it falls through I'd take Cabaye.

8.) Road, I'm sure he would come, but Juventus will want a lot of cash for him. If we sincerely have plenty of cash and Moyes wants five stars, then I'd say forget it, pay what it takes to get Shaw and Vidal and promote the youth. Shaw, Vidal & Mata will be plenty. Stick Jones in defence and promote Michael Keane.

Hi, I am a Newcastle fan and was on asking if you guys were after Cabaye? I got shouted down and people were saying he is not good enough for you. So I can I asked the same question, would you take Cabaye now?

1.) As a short term-fix; but not for anywhere near £20m. £12m maybe.

2.) I would and if you can appreciate the humor it has been a while since a united Midfielder actually scored a goal from outside the box and just that part of Cabaye's game is worth the admission :)

I would also take Dembele from Spurs but then again not many like him here.

Both very good internationals and underrated.

3.) Jimmy

You just have to get used to the snobbery on here mate. If Cabaye were a Real squad player they would all be quoting him as a top signing etc yet just because he plays with you he is not. They clearly know better than the French national boss, Pardrew, wenger, barca and Blanc who(now with the riches to buy any midfielder in the world) wants him. He doesn't have to be the best in the worl but fit us and do a job of which he has proven in the league and internationally as well as bring a different dimension to our game that's missing. For 20m that's allot of positives in any bodies book.

4.) Cabaye had his worst season last year operating a deep player, much like Carrick.

this year he's very much in the number 10 role and excelling.

However, IF we signed him, he'd play deeper for us and I honestly don't rate him as a deeper player.

Further forward he's very good, but he's not a top playmaker, especially when you value him at £20M and players like Santi Cazorla were sold for around £10M.

Great stop gap IF we're going to play him further forward, I just think we're looking for somebody a little more mobile who can operate in both a deep and advanced role well.

5.) Moon cabaye had his worst season as he was injured for three plus months up to Xmas and pardew openly admitted he brought him back far to early but even though he did that he still turned Newcastle from facing a relegation fight to safety. Ask any Newcastle fan and they will tell you his return changed their team completely.

And again after the summer this season and missing out on the arsenal move he sucked it up and is playing like he is. Many players should take a leaf out of his book. Pardew cannot speak more highly of him and that says allot IMO

6.) I'd take Cabaye for less than £20million, fine player.

However, it's a worrying trend at the moment. Guys like Cabaye and Dembele are 'not what we need', 'over-rated', 'not United quality'.

But world-class players are simply out of our price range. We've proven that with derisory bids for Fabregas and refusing to meet the buy-out clause of Herrera.

So where does that leave us? Do we just never buy a midfielder again?

Best bet, is that we aim for £8-10million, unproven, promising youngsters – exactly what I thought Moyes' budget would be under the Glazers. Young, relatively unheard of players who will not spark a bidding war, won't attract much competition and offer a potential sell-on profit.

7.) Thanks for your views, personally I would be surprised if Cabaye is still in a Toon shirt at the end of the window. Remember he is playing in an ok Newcastle team. If you get him, i'm sure he will only get better

8.) Jimmy -

I'm not sure going from an 'OK' Newcastle United team to an 'OK' Manchester United team will bring the best out of him. At the moment there's very little between our sides.

9.) RED_SKY

I think Gary Neville said it best. I honestly do believe we are after top level players but they are not available and many teams with money are chasing the same players.

When we are losing matches like we are at the moment, it is easy to blame everything and everyone for the lack of signings. The issue is if we sign guys not at the top, the crowd is fickle with typical complaints that we have no money and no ambition and when you go for the top guys it is not that easy and the risk is you can miss completely.

I know from someone within the hierarchy of the club from the US side of the atlantic we were after CR07 most of the summer and at one point believed it was going to get done.

10.) I think g Neville said it best when I said
" united are playing 4-4-2 "

11.) Jred

yeah yeah very funny. BTW we get al Jazeirah here. Andy Grey and Richard keys love our current misery.

12.) God help you I can't stand R Keys

13.) Jred

He actually can't stop smiling after days like yesterday. I swear it is the oddest thing for a guy who anchors the program doing what he does. Who does he support anyway?

Hi, Newcastle fan here

just wondering why you haven't gone for Cabaye? I think he would be great for you. Ok he might not be the player you want, but he would improve in your team. What do you think?

1.) I don't think I have heard of him? ;)

2.) I think he wouldn't bring much more than the poor players we already have

3.) Not good enough.

4.) We did mate, Ed bid a pint of larger and some garlic snails, we are waiting for a comeback
