Guest Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 http://www.footlille.com/breve-losc-25988-yohan-cabaye-vers-newcastle-.html No idea what the original source is but this site normally quotes from other sources (Equipe, RMC, etc). Will translate. <edit> "Under contract with Lille until June 2013, Yohan Cabaye is the only Lille player who is able to benefit from a €5m minimum release fee. He will soon be in contact with Newcastle, with who an agreement is close. He could make the move official after the 3 France games. After arriving aged 12, he is about to make his first move. The Lillois club have already seemed to have made moves to replace him, with Benoit Pedretti". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Are we Wenger-ing our squad? French (and other nations) players coming in while our Englishmen are leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 this sounds more like our sort of deal tbh, exploiting release clauses and such then we can say we signed a 10m midfielder when only paying 4m for him mike ashley ftw! not complaining like, probably a great idea/signing for all i know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Are we Wenger-ing our squad? French (and other nations) players coming in while our Englishmen are leaving. Aye, we've got that DRC under-21 star Kazenga Lua Lua playing with the future Nigerian #9 Sammy Ameobi, throw in that Irish/Scottish-descendant Richardson who we plucked from obscurity. At least we know Tiote is here for life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Sounds like a similar player to Barton actually. On the fringes of the France squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Who is the guy then? Is he any good? just started playing for france, so probably not shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Who is the guy then? Is he any good? Very tidy player from the couple of games I've watched him in. 3 man central midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 He is 5ft 9inch, Gameiro is 5 ft 7 1⁄2 inch. Graham Carr has been watching Brazillian side Gigantes de Note as well. http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/04_02/talkR0804_800x564.jpg Looks like we will be playing carpet football next season. Better lower the curbs at training ground car park or attach ladders to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 2 caps for France, midfielder, plays in continental Europe. Could he be the mystery international midfielder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 If Barton's off and we're playing 4-3-3/4-5-1, central trio of Cabaye, Tiote and Nolan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take that, he plays in a 3 man midfield for Lille and it would allow Nolan more license to get forward (who also played in a 3 man at Bolton) and Tiote just to sit at the base and break up play. Surprised he doesn't fancy the CL like unless he thinks hes done all he can at Lille which is probably true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All joking aside when we played a forward line of midgets Hendrie, Mira & Robertson we were shite. Of course it was compound that we had signed Dave Beasant a GK who was used to booting it up field to Fash the bash & Alan Cork. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Just looking at his stats and he doesn't seem to get injured either. Played in more or less all the games last 4 seasons. Good looking chap too. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj89h5HRGd1qc0adio1_500.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
