Don't know a great deal about the lad so been trying to find some articles on him and found this (this was before he was linked with us):

Vice captain Yohan Cabaye has been the subject of speculation from Bayern Munich and Arsenal, among others. He has been a main cog in the Lille midfield who has helped to keep the scoring machine running.

His nine assists and two goals don't fully represent his value in the team. The French international is a glue-type player, doing all the little things to go along with setting the table and providing another attack option from the midfield. His leadership will be hard to replace if he moves on this summer.

Sounds promising :emoticon-0103-cool:

Also sounds like a player that won't be sitting on the bench, direct replacement for Barton? Or does anyone think that Pardew actually would take Nolan out the team and leave Joey in the team?

I think squad rotation is very much on the agenda next seaason so I think he, Barton and Nolan will be rotated. I expect Tiote to be rested/suspended for a fair few games too so Cabaye would be a direct replacement.

Hmm, I hope so, means we might actually get through an injury crisis like this season's.
 
When linked to us the quote below changed...

Vice captain Yohan Cabaye has been the subject of speculation from Notts County and Exeter, among others. He has done very little in the Lille midfield who have done extremely well for having a player who doesn't contribute much to the team.

His nine assists and two goals fully represent his value in the team with them all being lucky. The French international is a glue-type player, stuck in the same position on the field, unable to move, control or pass the ball, doing all the little things to go along with setting the table and providing another awful display from midfield. His attitude is hard man who seems to put his fists where his mouth is. He should be a perfect fit for a Newcastle side with thugs in the team already.

Considering he's a holding midfielder this can mean only one of two things;

1) Pardew plans to play two holding midfielders like Brazil did at the world cup with another three midfielders further up and a lone striker.

2) Ashley is going to cash in on Tiote.

I know which is more likely :(

Still, looks like excellent value for money & I hope he brings one of their strikers with him!

I see that Carr has finally found a way round his arch-nemesis; Comolli!

That would be true if he was a holding midfielder. He's a box-to-box/playmaker. Think French Barton, except younger and without the baggage.
 
Yeah he was reported as a target for Le Arse a couple of years ago and he was seen as a tough tackling defensive/box-to-box type then.

Sounds like he can do a bit of everything, I'm quite excited.
 
He is a penalty specialist according to numerous sources and this is backed up by his 17 attribute on FM (Y). He is also supposed to be good at his corners and free kicks :).
 
So drop him in midfield with Tiote behind Jonas, Ben Arfa (or Nolan) and a new left/right winger, behind a striker. Winner.

Barton rotates if he stays, and we only have to play Danny Guthrie in super emergencies. Yay!
