If you haven't already seen it: "I'd like to pay tribute to my staff, in particular Graham, myself, Lee and Mike and everyone on the board who worked really hard for this one because he's a player we think is important." -- A. Pardew, on the signing of Cabella
Morgan just welcomed Cabella to England on Twitter, saying "you'll love it". Let's hope Morgs still does on the South Coast!
Daryl Janmaat in Newcastle to finalise deal..... did Ronald not fancy him? I'd have thought the Feyernoord connection may have ben worth a go if he did. Maybe he's saving it for De Vrij
ok thanks. Me dumb. Thought he was a right sided CB. Stand down... though I hope my second part is true
Well they've brought some temporary cover in ... "Former Netherlands international defender Khalid Boulahrouz has returned to the Eredivisie with Feyenoord." taken from SSN transfer feed
Yup, well he's leaving, no question, but he'll have some top clubs looking at him. They have ridiculous depth at CB now, with De Vrij, Martins Indi, Kongolo, Mathijsen, Boulahrouz, Steenvoorden and Van Beek all currently there. Definitely looks like they've made preparations for a couple of departures, and you'd imagine those are De Vrij and Martins Indi.
I thought Martins Indi was a done deal somewhere ... Porto maybe? I may have skim read that somewhere.
