It's a slow news day and this is purely hypothetical but would you consider a swap of dembele and 5 million for Cabaye a good deal?
i really rate the guy and think he has modricesque like vision and would counter the pure power and pace of sandro, paulie, and dembele, and really help in picking passes slightly deeper than ericksen/holtby currently do. I also think he is capable of being all action midfielder in terms of power and breaking up play maybe not to the standard of the three we have but again his vision, passing and goals would counter any slight deficiency he has in regards to the others. I really hope we go for a creative passing midfielder in January as i think thats the real difference with this being a very good season to becoming potentially a great one.

I like Cabaye, but I really don't think we need him now. He wouldn't fit in to our team.

Dembele is much more versatile and is easier to fit in to a midfield that, lets face it, has about 6 or 7 names for 3 or 4 places.

Nope.

Didn't cabaye also call us a small club when we were linked with hazard? I think he even said he should go to arsenal (might be imagining that bit)

Either way, moussa is quality.

The thread title was so promising and then the OP spoilt it with the post. I was expecting something like, would you consider seeing to Sharon Osborne if it meant you got to take care of Nicole Sherzinger :)

Not instead of, I would like another ball playing option in the centre of the park though.

I think people are underrating Cabaye here, he certainly has better vision and shooting than Dembele. Although Dembele's ball carrying ability is far superior as well as his defensive work

And you're overrating him if you think him being worth Dembele + £5m is anything other than a ridiculous notion.

It's not that at all.

It's just on his day, Dembele is my favourite player to watch - He is simply majestic when he goes past players.
