BottledDog Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 On the plus side at least we wouldn't have to listen to Pardew try and flog him in every press conference he gives. It'll be someone else next. I am absolutely 100% convinced AP is on a bonus for % profit on transfers. I really would love to know where this daft notion came from apart from ridiculous paranoia Here's where it comes from................ AP is pretty much the worst paid manager in the top tier. MA pays all of his key staff bonuses based on performance in every single one of his businesses. It has been widely reported that MA has given AP an 'incentives' based contract - Llambias said so when he was in charge in his programme notes. Given that we know the top 4 is a pipe dream and unrealistic the next best thing is Europa league which we know the club don't want. So what is AP's target? Finish as close to, but not in, the Europa League every year and he'll get what? A sports direct mug? If MA's incentive is to tick the business over in as positive a financial state as humanly possible to attract a buyer at a premium, AP is absolutely vital in that. Which other managers would accept their best players being sold from under them and be completely complicit in it? What is the incentive for AP? Can only be financial. Call that paranoia if you wish. I'll call it reality. It's utter bunkum. We know quite a bit about Pardew and all the staff and players bonus schemes. There is absolutely sod all evidence for what you're suggesting.

Mick Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Believe this is bullshit, not a chance we are making sure we've got a replacement in place before selling someone. Far too logical for my liking. That's the only thing we can cling to, we wouldn't be waiting for a replacement if we had a deal worked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Can we have a new owner, please? Unless a new owner was an Arab multi-billionare, would a new owner really make a difference? The sums needed to repeatedly break into the top four are now vast, and the second tier of Europe is an utter joke. It's only natural any top class play aspires to play in a Champs League club. That's where the money and prestige is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I like the way everyone has concluded that this is a done deal 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. https://twitter.com/antnparis/status/424991323645833216 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Darren Lewis from the Mirror said on the radio earlier that he had interviewed Cabaye after he game yesterday and he had some interesting quotes. He wouldn't expand on it but I don't think it will be anything particularly noteworthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Jonathan Johnson @Jon_LeGossip Montpellier coach Courbis refused to elaborate on rumours that Cabella is deep in talks with Newcastle earlier.

Interpolic Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 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.

Dave Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Sign Cabella, get the Remy transfer wrapped up, about as good as we could hope for under this lot. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Cabella is actually a lot more suited to the role Cabaye is currently playing. Would be really sad to see the back of Cabaye in general though, class act when in form and focused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I think we've no chance of sigining Remy permanent, wages and him wanting Champions League. Still nice to see him here now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VanBarduck Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 With Rabiot out for 2 months with a knee injury, I'm afraid PSG will soon make a move for Yohan . Visionnaire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
