Elliottman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 NEWCASTLE new boy Mathieu Debuchy has admitted the last six months have the most difficult of his life as he waited to land his dream move to the Magpies. The Frenchman thought he was on his way to Tyneside in June when United first expressed an interest in him, before the European Championships. But Lille kept knocking back increased bids and the summer transfer window slammed shut at the end of August, with the right-back stranded in France. Debuchy, however, completed his long-waited move last week and the 27-year-old right-back is set to make his debut this coming Saturday against Norwich at Carrow Road. Another week won’t make too much of a difference to a man who has had to show an enormous amount of patience before arriving on Tyneside. Debuchy, speaking exclusively to the Sunday Sun, said: “It has been a very difficult time for me over the last six months. But I have got here in the end and that’s all that counts. “The Premier League is going to be a test in a sense for me because it’s more physical than Ligue 1. “The lads I already know at Newcastle have already told me about these demands. “I will find all of this out for myself, but I’ve seen it from watching games on television, and I also know about the high quality of players in this league. “I have watched a lot of the Premier League when back in France. So I know what to expect.” Debuchy made more than 230 appearances for Lille during his 10 years at the French club, having come up through the youth ranks of his local side. He has carved out a reputation for being a right-back who spends almost as much time in the opposition’s half as he does in his own. This is a guy who will bomb forward at any given opportunity. Asked to describe himself as a player, the French international said: “I don’t like to talk a great deal about myself, but I like to get forward and support the attackers. “Primarily I am a defender. I will try to do my best in that role for my team” Debuchy conducted his round of media interviews on Friday afternoon at the club’s training ground with then help of an interpreter. This was a reminder of how difficult it is for a foreign player to come to these shores when they are still unsure of the language, although the likes of Hatem Ben Arfa and Yohan Cabaye will help him through the first few weeks. Debuchy said: “I am not greatly worried about signing for Newcastle. “I will learn English as soon as I can, but in the meantime there are plenty of English-speaking French nationals who will help me. “I just want to start my Newcastle career and help the team for the rest of the season.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyson Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Be funny if the first thing he does is get ball and then hoof it down the line I've put forward my thoughts on how debuchy's inclusion could lift williamson (just a little fucking bit). But pardew has to be willing to unleash this bloke, and trust the guys around him. If there's no give-and-gos (at the very least), with the 1st receiving CM and it pans out as you say.... tbh that will be fucking soul destroying.

I would rather Williamson is as far away from Debuchy as possible but there may be an element of truth in would you said, could help him, bit like a guide dog helping a blind person i suppose.
