Yes, Newcastle is becoming the new preferred exile players in Ligue 1. If their Loic Remy has finally stood up, Moussa Sissoko, Massadio Haidara and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa are on track to join the Magpies this winter, in the wake of Mathieu Debuchy. But what they please both Newcastle city a little sad northern England, and especially now plays club maintenance? For most, the dream of playing in the Premier League takes over the play for a club fighting for the title. Newcastle is also known to go by offering remuneration wage well above what they could earn in other championships. By drawing regularly L1, the Magpies dug a real groove. No thanks to Alan Pardew, the typical English coach who does not know much about our league, but thanks to Graham Carr, chief recruiters for Toons. It is he who walks the French stadiums and unearth pearls. Especially successful in its recruitment Newcastle made in France due to the decline in the value of our players in the eyes of the biggest clubs in Europe. Penalized by the poor performance of the national team, our international no longer courted by Barca, Real Madrid, Manchester United or Chelsea, but by Newcastle, QPR, Rubin Kazan Fenerbahce. Therefore, Newcastle appears as the least bad destination for players seeking England and are reassured by the presence of elements such as Cabaye and Ben Arfa, symbols of some success in the North of England. Except that this year, the challenge will not get a European place but to stay in the first division.

Guest VanBarduck Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Are they generally positive about us, out of interest? They use to be positive , until this year and our bad results . Some football "specialist" are making jokes , about Newcastle being the 21st club in Ligue , Pardew being the most overrated coach of the past recent years . Yesterday on CFC , one the most viewed football show in France , a commentator tried to explain our transfer strategy " The french footballer is good , at least average , he's cheap and he fancy Premier League teams no matter how bad the situation of the club is..." The fact is QPR and Newcastle are more financially attractive than the elite of french clubs.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't think it's too bad to be honest. I don't know by what they mean by sad little city, I'm guessing they don't know much about Newcastle and see it as a shitty small city like we do to their lesser known cities without knowing them. They go on to compliment us by saying that we achieve to be doing better than what we are now and European competition is our aim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Has to be pretty frustrating from a French football fan's perspective. Imagine if we were one of the 2 or 3 most successful clubs in England ( ) and routinely lost our best players to Dundee, Motherwell, or St. Mirren because we couldn't match the wages.

The wages are not the problem , the taxes up to 75% if you make more than a million a year are. Add to that all the salary cost and some minor taxes ...I've read than Ibrahimovic gets paid 15Meuros , but PSG actually spend 38Meuros a year for him , cause they pay all his taxes..

MyPalAl Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Article btw: Yoan Gouffran he will finish the season with Bordeaux? Not sure because Newcastle have officially made an offer to Girondins for the last six months of their contract attacker. A proposal of the order of 750 000 euros deemed insufficient by leaders Bordeaux that will not give less than one million euros. Opponents Girondins group stage of the Europa League, the Magpies Alan Pardew looking to replace their center-forward Franco-Senegalese Demba Ba party in Chelsea earlier this month. After failing to win the Marseille Loïc Rémy (party Queens Park Rangers), they still prospecting in France, their championship recruitment preferred. --- Won't be long before we have more French players than all the Ligue Un teams.

I never understood why, probably because the media there always refer to it as an "industrial, grey and isolated city in the north east" This is largely because Britain is one of the most capital-centric countries in the world. You basically have London, then - as far as foreigners are concerned - nothing else worth bothering about. France is just as bad. re Italian press, it's funny, but if you go to, say, Milan, outside of a relatively small area in the city centre, you are quickly into some of the most depressing urban environments in western europe - great chunks of the city are taken up by housing projects that look like Caeucescu designed them.
