LooneyToonArmy Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 David Ginola: 'Newcastle United must forgive Yohan Cabaye' Former Newcastle United man David Ginola has pleaded with the club's fans to forgive Yohan Cabaye. The Frenchman reportedly went on strike towards the end of the summer in order to force through a transfer to Arsenal, after the Magpies turned down an offer from the Gunners for the player. However, Cabaye has since remained on Tyneside and Ginola feels that the supporters should put the saga behind them. "He's a great player - he's done really good for the club," Ginola told reporters. "You have to put things in perspective. Sometimes you make a mistake and you have to be forgiven for that. "As soon as he steps back on the football pitch at St James' Park he will wear the zebra shirt and that will be it, he will be back on track."

Dave Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/sep/13/yohan-cabaye-newcastle-alan-pardew Alan Pardew is confident Yohan Cabaye is fully committed to Newcastle United after the disappointment of seeing a proposed move to Arsenal fall through last month. Pardew's French midfielder briefly went on strike, declining to play in the defeat at Manchester City and draw at home with West Ham United, after Newcastle rejected Arsène Wenger's £10m bid. However, Cabaye is expected to start Saturday's game at Aston Villa. "I haven't really needed to speak to Yohan, if I'm honest," Newcastle's manager said. "I can just see how he is by his demeanour, which is spot on. I did speak to him, of course, but not at great length. We had a conversation. I didn't have to coax him in any manner. I had a little discussion about the window shutting, about his new baby girl and you can just tell that he's in a place where he has turned a corner. "Sometimes players don't turn that corner. I have seen that with guys I played with and also managed. They continue the process of wearing the disappointment – let me put it that way." Although privately furious with Cabaye last month, Pardew is now in forgiving mood. "It must have been a difficult period for Yohan as well," he said. "He would have been influenced by his agents, who obviously had a stake in the transfer. "I'm not saying he was perfect in the way he handled it – I don't think he was – but the one thing I do know about Yohan is that he's a very focused person. He's the type of guy if you put the finishing line there, he doesn't look to the sides, he looks at the line. I think that has helped to turn him around. You can tell his eyes are firmly fixed on Newcastle and France," Pardew added. It helps that Cabaye's personality, at times a powerful influence in Newcastle's increasingly Francophone dressing room, is appealing. "Yohan is a person you can't help but like," Pardew said. "We can all make decisions around decisions that might not be right, but that's not to say his character has changed. It hasn't. "The players really like Yohan, so do the staff and so do I. We were willing and wanting him to stay. There was a lot of that going on. For everybody, particularly the French players, it was important that he stayed." It probably helps Newcastle's cause that Cabaye is desperate to cement his place in a France stride striving to qualify for next summer's World Cup in Brazil. "We could have a good number of players at the World Cup so it's important for them to have good seasons here," agreed Pardew. "Several – Yohan, Hatem Ben Arfa, Mathieu Debuchy, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Yoan Gouffran – are vying for that French team while Shola Ameobi has a chance with Nigeria and Cheik Tioté, too, with Ivory Coast."

Jack Flash Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Really not sure what he said wrong there [/Pardew sympathiser] The fact that he's still talking about it (at great length) is bad management. All that stuff completely left my mind for the last week and now I'm back to thinking Cabaye is a tosser. "We've discussed the issue and it's sorted...*coy smile*" is how Hughton would have dealt with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I apologise, there is no way a journalist could have brought up the fact Cabaye may be starting his first game since he had his head turned. Pesky Pardew is pesky. Fuck me, I hate the negative cunt, I have had many fantasies about coming into billions of pounds, buying Newcastle and sitting down with him giving him the ultimatum of not being such a weak/pathetic wanker or losing his job but the lengths people will go and the obvious things they will ignore just makes it all meaningless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Pretty weird concept isn't it? The swarms of premier league managers, wandering the streets hoping a journalist is near by to note down his wild ramblings. Seems far more likely than said manager being asked questions the day before a game, that would be literally mental. Mental! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hughton was the absolute master of not saying anything in interviews. I never paid the slightest bit of attention to quotes from him cos I knew he wouldn't say anything. Loved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
