It's funny that a large proportion of the non-kneejerkers wanted to wait to see him in the middle before calling him worse than shite, whilst others were fairly happy to mention him as one of the weak links in the squad whilst he was playing at right wing in one of the worst ever Newcastle teams.
"He's a highly rated French international CM, playing right wing under Alan fucking Pardew"
"Nar, he's thick as pigshit, barely a footballer"
Wonder if these are the same people saying Cabella will never make it in the league? I'd rather give them time to adjust (preferably not under Pardew ). I can see improvements from Cabella already, although our tactics clearly stifle creativity at every turn.
