‘Good player but not a great player, who is 27 years old, he is the symbol of the French team, but last year PSG bought some great players and can ill afford to just buy good. We need exceptional players with potential.’
A £25m departure of Cabaye and a striker and central defender arriving, Sissoko dropping into midfield in place of Cabaye and Ashley still makes a profit on the summer trading!
The overall personal take by our translator Pierre on the Cabaye speculation, is that there is substance there but Yohan is hoping for Newcastle to show ambition and for the club to move forward again WITH him.
Marseille have issued an apology on Barton’s behalf and called on Barton to cease his ‘uploading of ungracious comments’. Looking at Barton’s past history they must be joking.
The player is clearly trying, very clumsily, to ingratiate himself with the PSG fans by talking up how good his choice of club and city was instead of Newcastle. Maybe he should be trying to have the odd decent game and keep his mouth shut.
The French international midfielder/striker will only have a year left on his contract come June and at 26 he would be in the right ball park in terms of age.
Ben Arfa; “I am under contract with Newcastle and I’m fine. First, I must save my club. I only think that. Help my team and my coach, with whom I get along great. We really want to fight for him (Alan Pardew). The fans are great too”.
