Debuchy has signed for Newcastle. He was good for Lille when we played them. Very attacking. Be interesting to see how he goes... #Nufc

 

Thread title update  :frantic:

Debuch man :smitten:

 

It's unreal how much he will improve our attacking play straight away, doubling up Ben Arfa on the right. I'm sure he'll prove to be an improvement in defence too but that might take a little time as he adjusts to the more frantic nature of the games.. especially if he has to play next to Williamson.

 

As for M'Vila, he seems to even surpass Tiote's decline.. who I'm very disappointed with btw. The staff haven't done a good job handling his mentality. His decisions on the pitch indicate that he has forgotten his role, not necessary on the pitch, but for the team. He must always be the reliable option for his team mates, not the most wild and unpredictable.

We don't need to improve our attacking play though, we've just scored goals for fun against 2 of the top teams in the league. It's our defensive play that needs improving.

 

Keeping the ball stops your opponent scoring.

The article says we've lost interest in Douglas due to poor form this year.  I thought someone on here said he's been excellent?

 

Was that Mole_something guy who wrote it, I remember reading it as well...

I never said that  :lol:

 

I have not seen Douglas all season who ever said he's been excellent i don't know but it wasn't me.

 

I did say i'd like to see us sign him because from what i have seen in the past he would be much better than Williamson but that goes without saying.

Following yesterday’s reports of Mathieu Debuchy’s agreed deal with Newcastle United and imminent signing, the move will surely have other not so hidden benefits.

 

Alan Pardew recently announced that Yohan Cabaye is ahead of schedule and could be available in mid-January, or as it is know these days, mid-January transfer window.

 

With Newcastle’s form & league position and Demba Ba’s imminent departure, the last thing we would need is vultures sniffing around our playmaker, with press claims that amongst others, Arsene Wenger is interested in Cabaye.

 

As and when Debuchy signs on the dotted line, it can only be massively down to his much talked about friendship with Yohan Cabaye. A current French international choosing to move abroad to a relegation threatened club, he would surely have had numerous other options if he’d chosen to look elsewhere.

 

Cabaye and Debuchy spent thirteen years together at Lille, as literally men and boys, and are best mates.

 

This is in contrast to the perceived Ba/Cisse best mates scenario which was assumed because they both played for Senegal.

 

Reports of friction between the two strikers might have been exaggerated this season but on the other hand they weren’t nailed on to be automatic best mates.

 

Cisse born and brought up in Senegal, while Ba was born and brought up in France, though he represents Senegal at international level. Apart from sharing their religion and a national team who they have rarely played together for, it would be a similar situation if we signed one of Nigeria’s born and bred players and expected him automatically to be best mates with the mackem slayer.

 

Not surprisingly Ba is best mates with Ben Arfa and Cabaye who also spent all of their formative years growing up in France.

So Mathieu Debuchy; one thing for sure is that when he pulls on a black & white shirt it will be because he really wants to be here, playing alongside Yohan Cabaye for Newcastle United, and you can’t put a price on that.
