I think Cabaye is a player of such great importance that he cannot be replaced.
I see people praising Milivojevic and Sakho, but Cabaye is the real engine of the team. He does it all: run, press, recover, cover ground, assist, appear behind the main striker, score goals......
Without him....it will be a real tough battle to avoid relegation.

And why sell a 30 smtg year old player? For a lousy 5-7 million? Just give him the money he wants and let him stay.
For me, Cabaye is Iniesta level

I thought he was just enjoying that we looked like staying up with a little time wasting

22 years eating a vegan diet. Perfectly happy and healthy on it.

Exactly, 5 or 7 million in todays market is nothing especially given the cost to replace players. BUT we should consider the wages, Cabaye is currently on 80k or 100k a week. I wonder if he is worth that? He'd probably want more if he signed a new contract here but probably accept a cut just to go back to France.

His importance to the team has been highlighted by the two games he missed where we looked out of sorts, no one in our team can do his role and he ticks a lot of boxes both defensively and creatively but I wouldn't give him more money than he's on now, if he wants to go then should let him go and use that £80-100k to help sign Sakho and a replacement midfielder.

Cabaye is worth more to us than the money we'd get for him IMO.

I like to think that he was just embracing the last home game and winding down the clock yesterday, he seems to be enjoying playing for us

It's the song we sing for him at the games. Have you not heard it?

"We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

Looked like a goodbye to me, although I hope I'm wrong. He's now playing like we hoped he would from day one. Simply outstanding and could only be replaced like for like with some serious outlay so let's hope he stays, but don't think he will, he wants to go home IMO.
