Yohan Cabaye (now sporting coordinator at Paris Saint-Germain)


Recommended Posts

I like the way everyone has concluded that this is a done deal  :laugh: that's how negative the club has become. It doesn't look good but, you never know what is happening.

 

From what I can see it came from a 20/21 year old on twitter. Why are you questioning it?

 

Not unless a load of other random people are in on it.

 

Because they have French sounding names? I suppose Jean Micloud and Pierre Sossison are more reputable than those who retweet Colin Warris's tweets.

 

Because they were watching Canal+ too at the time.

Well if you'd mentioned Sardine trawler before I might not have been so sceptical.

Without lapsing into 'body language' I did wonder if him giving his shirt to the fans at the end meant anything.

 

I think that was just because he was getting so much love from the fans with the nonstop singing of his name.

 

True - just thought that it might have some last significance as it was the last game before the end of the window.

Canal+: PSG & Newcastle agreement for Yohan Cabaye (€26m). Transfer to go through if MHSC's Remy Cabella joins Magpies. #PSG #NUFC #MHSC

 

Jonathan Johnson ‏@Jon_LeGossip

Well there you have it! PSG's reaction to Rabiot injury according to Canal+ is to agree fee with Newcastle for Cabaye. #PSG

Montpellier coach Courbis refused to elaborate on rumours that Cabella is deep in talks with Newcastle earlier. Move real possibility.

On the plus side, this is the only way we'll sign any players - we'll probably get 3 or 4 with this cash over the next couple of windows, when otherwise we'd have doubtless gone without.

 

Hell no, we're at a one in one out stage now. You dont want to end up like Portsmouth now do you, irresponsible wally.

I'd be surprised if the money was used for anything more than getting to keep Loic Remy and replacing Cabaye with Cabella.

Sign Cabella, get the Remy transfer wrapped up, about as good as we could hope for under this lot.

 

I hate to say this but that isn't rather good like. Cabaye leaving aside.

Why would Remy want to sign permanently in this window? He'd be monumentally daft not to wait until the summer and see what offers he gets. We've got first-hand experience that he's willing to chase the money, and he might even get in the World Cup squad.

I think we've no chance of sigining Remy permanent, wages and him wanting Champions League. Still nice to see him here now though.

Agreed. Remy's raised his profile considerably since joining. Joint-3rd in the league in scoring. He'll get offers from clubs with deeper pockets and we won't put up a fight with QPR.

 

Chelsea doled out the cash for Ba and Remy's a better player than that.

£20m+ for Cabaye is a decent amount, so providing the money gets re-invested wisely in the squad, then it's fine by me.

 

Cabella looks like an attacking midfielder rather than a playmaker, so it wouldn't be an exact swap. But that's no bad thing.

Cabaye's departure was always inevitable but I really thought we would have him on our books until the summer. I'm simply not ready to see him leave - I would have been prepared for it in the summer but to potentially see him leave now, in the middle of the season, is rather gutting.

As much as I don't want Cabaye to go less we forget this is a player who went on strike at the start of the season.  Player power these days.  Big shame would have loved it if he'd stayed and we got Cabella - but that would be too scary as it would mean the club showing some ambition.  Was always going to be his replacement.

The twatter who tweeted that looks very young and lacks followers.

 

I'll await a more credible source before getting worried.

 

PSG's midfield tonight consists of:

 

Motta, Verratti & Matuidi.

 

Cabaye is a better player than all 3 of them IMHO.

 

No, he isn't.

Least we've lined up a very good player as a replacement, about as positive as we can be. Thought he would have stayed till the summer, like.

 

Getting him over than lined up is the problem, do you really think we'll pay £12m for Cabella because i dont.

My concern here is whether this €26m really IS dependent on Cabella signing, or whether we'll sell anyway. If Cabella joins and he goes then fair enough, just as long as we don't get a Carroll situation.

 

We've done this for one reason, when we can't sign cabella on the cheap we go back to PSG and say we can't sell unless the money is mental as the fans will go mad....in rolls a £30m+ bid.

It's probably the worst time in Cabaye's recent career for us to be selling him. There were many months on this forum where most people would happily have waved him goodbye.

 

I'm disappointed if he goes, but if Pardew uses Cabella as a proper attacker we might be alright.
