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


Recommended Posts

In any case, with how ridiculous the TV money is getting just about anyone from Leicester City to Crystal Palace will be able to play a few key players 100k a week if they so desire.

 

TV money is the great leveler for all of the non-oil-money clubs, and traditional size of fanbase will quickly become irrelevant. I suspect that within a few years there will be very little difference in terms of financial means between clubs like Spurs (or a non-gimped version of NUFC) and those like Crystal Palace.

I don't see how we could be seen as a bigger attraction than Crystal Palace at the minute. They finished above us in the league, pay their staff more (that's why we lost Pardew to them), they're based in London which I believe is a big pull especially to Foreign players and probably have the most atmospheric stadium in the league as opposed to the morgue that is SJP.

 

Besides Cabaye has already been here and knows how the club operates so he'd be a fool to come back for more.

Clubs with large stadiums playing in front of big crowds will still be more attractive to players and managers though. If Newcastle were up against Southampton for a player given all else was equal, I think a lot would still choose us. But obviously we would need to be seen as a club that wants to challenge rather than our current survival mode.

Crystal Palace are a yo yo club at best. They spend most of their time in the Championship.  We pay more in general to our players than Palace. We are a better known club in Europe. We have good well known international players in our squad such as Sissoko, Janmaat, Krul, players that come here have a good track record of moving to good clubs like Cabaye, Ba and Debuchy, even M'biwa. If I was a foreign player choosing between both teams it would be an easy decision for me

I think the problem is Newcastle is still a club that Yohan follows and he'll be fully aware of the absolute shambles going on here which is much worse than when he first arrived. With that in mind, I don't think the Dreamboat will be looking to come back any time soon. :(

How much is he earning at PSG, anybody know? I can't imagine many teams can offer him what he's earning there outside of the big clubs so it'll likely only be a loan move that he makes. Unless he wants to take a pay cut. In that scenario (a loan) I can see him going somewhere like Palace - knows the coach, knows he'll play every game as long as he's fit and it's in London near his buddy. Unlikely but not implausible imo.

Ok that's not nearly as much as I thought which makes what I said irrelevant  :laugh:

Things are rarely equal though. 9 times outta 10 whoever pays the most gets the player

Cabaye now admitting in press conference he needs/wants to leave #PSG. Has been big disappointment but could still do good job for someone

Paris was proper underwhelming TBF. Cities like Barcelona and Cologne have much more character and of course our beautiful city.

 

Yeah, fuck Paris. He will end up in London no doubt.
