Need to replace Yohan Cabaye, Help?

I am Newcastle United and doing very well in my second season. Won FA Cup in first and now into Knockout stages of Europa League.
However my problem is Real Madrid activated his £25.5 million release clause and he left so i want to know who i can replace him with.

I have bought Felliani for £20 million but still feel at a miss. Can anyone help?

There's another Belgian midfielder (Belgian/Indonesian) who has some surname like "Nainggolan" or some variation of that...

The spelling is correct. The player is brilliant.

Also look at Kwadwo Asamoah who is cheaper.

Yeah asamoah is very good as a ball winner but if you already have fellaini it may be pointless. It depends on what his role was in your team, I'm guessing deep-lying playmaker. If so, mikel arteta would be a decent choice, or jack rodwell. If you want a bit more spring Jack Wilshere is an unbeatable advanced playmaker

Lucas Moura or Eriksen 2 good creative attacking midfielder's.

I would compare Jack Rodwell and cabaye by saying that Rodwell is similar in his good passing ability and is also good at winning the ball back, he is also very good in the air, almost as good as fellaini, and has a lot of potential, if a little lacking at first in FM2012

you should take a look at Andre Ayew from OM.

great potential and for a decent price.

There is an interesting tactic Arsenal have used in my game: Buy all the fastest players, and have one playmaker in the middle. One of the Ayews would be a good buy if you're going with that philosophy.

Which worked quite well, I might add. Arsenal went from 4th one season to buying Yarmolenko (good buy) and Jordan Ayew, to winning the Premier League with 12 points to spare using

-----------Walcott--Yarmolenko-----------
Gervinho------------------------------can't remember
-------------Wilshere-Ayew

-------

There's no point in even trying long balls. All they had to do was take the ball from you, and they had a clean shot on goal. When Bayern ran 102 km in one game. Arsenal ran 115, almost one extra player's worth of kilometers...

I have also signed him now too, Always looking to improve though!

This is very interesting.

I generally like pace also and dont buy low paced players even at dm/cm.

They were completely ridiculously good. Absolutely nothing could stop them. A defender got the ball, passed it to the DLP (Wilshere/Ramsey) who just launched it forward. And, because it's Arséne Wenger, two fast players of the four came up alone against the keeper, and they always passed. To put it into perspective, Arsenal outran Bayern (with Ribéry and Robben) and scored 5 goals in München.

arron ramsey

I just came up with an idea, Mateo Kovacic or Milan Badelj

Both excellent, although you normally need to wait a few years before Kovačić (the preferable one) can come.

How about Réne Mihelič. He's a decent player...

I am liking these ideas, Im going to do some serious scouting until the next transfer window and see what i can come up with.

I usually like the younger midfielders so they can grow and get stronger so will return with my results!
