Idiots getting their euros and pounds mixed up again?

They are gfn reported 12million euro I'm sure they are just riding off the back of that

Why is there a continued mixing up of Euros and Pounds with all of these papers. It's quite incredible.

 

Anyway, pretty sure we'll sign this guy now, which is pretty cool. Still need to get an out and out striker soon. Bit worrying that since Lassoga, we haven't been linked with anyone else. Don't really see Lacazette as a lone front man with De jong playing off him.

Still can't see them accepting this offer so its probaby going to take one more, which will likely take us another few weeks.

 

I think they will since he seems pretty set on coming here. Seems as if other clubs are not interested or have pretty much accepted he's going to Newcastle.

I do find it odd that no other clubs have expressed interest in him though. If he is all we have been made to think he is, surely some CL clubs would have tried to take him? 12 million (euros or pounds) is hardly much for an international French winger who is supposedly good enough to replace the creativity of cabaye

Some other clubs, like Arsenal for instance who have also been linked, probably have him down as a backup option if they don't get their first choice.  That doesn't mean he isn't a very good player, just not as proven as their first choice (Alexis Sanchez perhaps in Arsenals case?).  Its still quite early in the window so we need to take this chance to get him now before other clubs come along.

It's the risk factor though.  He's proved he can do it at Montpelier but can he do it at a bigger club and in a different country.  It was the same with Cabaye and Debuchy.  Lots of clubs were interested in them and Debuchy especially was linked with bigger clubs before he came to us but none decided to take the risk.  In coming to Newcastle, both players have proved they can excel in the Premier League so those bigger clubs will now see them as a safe bet.  If Debuchy's first few months with us had been at a bigger club, he probably would not have been given the time to adapt.

I think we'll actually get him this time. Will be an honour seeing him grace an Arsenal shirt for the second half of the 15/16 season as he plays his way into the France team for his home tournament.

Likewise, thought it all along because it's the transfer that makes the least sense to me of them all. Intrigued to see how he'll fit in especially that we've already strengthened in one of his key positions and HBA doesn't seem shiftable.

Cabela and de Jong don't play in the same position. de Jong is either instead of Grenier, or instead of another forward, or less likely a replacement for Sissoko.

First it's Cabella*

 

Second, they are both number 10s, except Cabella is more of a dribbler you spoon.
