LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/06/19/sylvain-marveaux-thrilled-to-be-at-newcastle-79310-28901521/ Sylvain Marveaux thrilled to be at Newcastle Jun 19 2011 by Mark Douglas, Sunday Sun SYLVAIN MARVEAUX wants to be Newcastle United’s answer to Florent Malouda. United’s latest French fancy is a quick, left-footed forward who can play on the wing or up front. With apologies to the Chelsea forward he is often compared to, Marvellous Marveaux is desperate to make an even bigger impact than his former international team-mate. He signed a five-year deal yesterday as Newcastle’s summer overhaul steps up a gear. His technique and pace are seen as a key part of a radical black-and-white makeover designed to make United’s midfield more mobile next year. While that bold plan has split Newcastle supporters, what is certain is Tyneside is getting a player hungry to make the most of his big Premier League chance. Marveaux told the Sunday Sun in an exclusive interview: “I am absolutely thrilled to be here – I am so happy I just cannot wait to get started. “I have been talking to Newcastle for a long time and it was a club which always interested me. “I had seen St James’ Park on TV and on You Tube but when I came to the ground yesterday morning, I was amazed at how big it is. “I cannot imagine what it is like when it is full with supporters.” The move happened very quickly. The Liverpool transfer did not work out but this is not a second option – Newcastle are a very big club with a great tradition and my friend Hatem Ben Arfa speaks well of the city, the players and the manager too. “It is a big club which can be one of the top clubs in Europe and people at the club have been very good with me. “I want to repay their faith in me. Now I just want to get started.” Although a free agent after his contract expired at Rennes, Marveaux was once rated at the £5million mark and had Manchester United, Chelsea and West Ham scouts on his tail earlier in his career. Asked who he is closest to in terms of style, the 25-year-old said the Chelsea forward Malouda was an inspiration to him. He added: “In France they say I am like Florent Malouda, which is what I hope to do for Newcastle. “He is a great player and if I could emulate him I would be happy. “I think my game is about working hard and scoring goals. “I will do my best for the club and for the team and I look forward to making this move a success.” Marveaux joined United’s French revolution in the small hours of yesterday morning after a dramatic U-turn over a move to Liverpool. There were doubts about his injury record and, as the Merseysiders stalled, Newcastle received a call asking whether they were still interested in taking him to Tyneside. A car was sent to the north west to bring him to the North East immediately and he penned a five-year-deal after what club insiders called a “very thorough” medical. He has been dogged by injuries this year and has not kicked a ball in anger since October. However, he says talk of a nagging groin injury is nothing more than mischief-making. He said: “I have been back in training for two weeks. “I am fine and I am ready to start pre-season in July with the rest of the Newcastle players. “It has been tough to be out so long but now I have extra motivation over the summer because I want to be a big success at Newcastle and to make a big impact in England.” Handily, the move puts him in the frame for a first senior call up for France if things go well. The French national side has been re-invigorated since their World Cup nightmare and, with an injection of new blood, they look set to be a force for years to come. Happily for the Toon Army, some of those rising stars are opting to come to St James’ Park. With Ben Arfa and Yohan Cabaye on board, he knows national team scouts will be watching the Magpies next year. He said: “My dream is to play for France and I have friends here who have already played for the national team.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an interesting point. It's not just the fact that they'll have fellow French-speakers about the place that makes us now an attractive destination for young French players. They also know the national team is more likely to take note of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Wasn't one of the France managers never arsed to come to SJP, and only watched us away in London when we kept losing? That's Capello mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Didn't Robert's time here coincide with Pires's ascension as well? 01-06 vs 00-06? I'm sure there were other factors but no shame in being 2nd best to Pires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 He was just breaking into the team while at PSG (Pires was already a regular at this point) before his move here after which he didn't earn a single solitary cap, which is absolutely criminal to be honest.

Ridman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 rorysmith_tel Rory Smith That Marveaux to #nufc deal has surprised me, to say the least. Heard about 7pm last night he'd failed #LFC medical thanks to groin. 18 Jun rorysmith_tel Rory Smith On Marveaux, all I know is I'm reliably informed he did fail a medical. #LFC thought they had him. #nufc building good - if fragile - squad. 18 Jun Probably been posted but whatever.

Zero Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I don't understand. "he did fail a medical. #LFC thought they had him" Can I interpret it as Marveaux did not meet Liverpool's medical requirement and thus was offered an inferior contract which Liverpool thought he has no choice but to accept it?
