Cabaye LATEST: Reports emerging in France that the fee is at £19m for #PSG-#NUFC #Cabaye deal, we cannot confirm

 

I'd hope MA held out for more than £19million. If he accepted that then there must have been some truth to the summer contract buyout rumours.

 

Not happy with £19m at all.

 

Sounds bad. 1 min ago on twitter...

BREAKING NEWS: PSG have agreed a fee with Newcastle for midfielder Yohan Cabaye, thought to be around £25million

Fee agreed is £20M apparently. Worth more when you see some of the dross going for more.

 

Can't blame the club for selling, cant blame Cabaye for going. Deal suits everyone. Massive test of that buffoon Kinnear now, 3 says to sign 2 players, minimum.

Reality is we can wait on cabayes long term replacement until the summer, but we need somebody else to add attacking impetus and to appease the fans as much as anything. Let's see if the most inactive director of football in the league can actually sort something out. Won't be easy to haggle if people know we have money.

£20-£25million. I prefer this guys take.

 

At least we have a few days. Hopefully we have got some irons in the fire. Gutted to see him go but knew it was coming.

 

He leaves us with some fantastic memories.

 

We need to keep perspective. The track record is that when we have sold big we have invested and improved the team. The negative soundbites are easy when we lose a favourite player, and it hurts me to see him go, but as with AC we need to judge this sale with the benefit of hindsight.

 

No official fee will be given. It's probably nearer 25m but the club will report it as anything from 15m-25m as we want the clubs that we wish to buy off to believe we're not loaded with cash.

Great player, great memories (some bad ones too) and he leaves at a good time. We're not in danger of relegation etc.

Hopefully the club put the funds to good use and in this window.

 

Supposedly been in negotiations for di Jong for appox 3 weeks so finding a replacement in 3 days for cabaye I'm not holding out much hope ! Especially with our director of football !

 

Good shout.
That's often hey 'undisclosed' is used.

Over to you now fat mike.

 

We might well find that Plan A was to keep Cabaye, but knowing that it was very possible that he would go (size of offer v summer buy out clause v keeping unhappy player), and now that Plan A has gone we may well find out that Plan B is already in place ready to be implemented. Wishful thinking perhaps, but possible.

 

Fingers crossed mate I hope your right

 

He's gonna be a big miss against 5under1and on Saturday

 

Reckon there's any chance of a farewell performance tomorrow to atone for his antics in the summer? Seems unlikely as it looks like everything is in place for things to be wrapped up sharpish, and I wouldn't be surprised if he is already in Paris as we speak, but it would be nice to see him sign off with a win and maybe a goal. (Although I suppose technically he did...)

 

Not unless the medical is at Carrow Road as he's booked in for that tomorrow

 

On a separate note, events like tonight go to prove why the twitterverse could do with a massive cull. Some of the reactions are an embarrassment. I've even seen some saying we'll struggle to stay up now. They should have some sort of intelligence test before some people are allowed to press send!!
