Yohan Cabaye has looked a good player in both France’s games in Group D of the Euro 2012 Championships.
Yohan Cabaye scores for France last night against Ukraine
And Newcastle’s superb midfielder got his first goal at International level last night, when he slotted in France’s second goal in their 2-0 win against the Ukraine.
And shortly after scoring his first goal, Yohan then hit the bar with another good shot, before being withdrawn from the contest.
So the French International central midfielder is having a good tournament, and he has said that he wants to become as good as Spanish midfield supremo Xavi, who is now 32:
“I’d like to have his vision.” “He always seems to be a step ahead of everyone else. His technique is also superb.” “Xavi has this unique ability to play passes from complicated angles.”
“I always watch him when he plays.” “I understand Laurent Blanc when he says that we lack a player like Xavi. After all, he is not completely wrong.” “We have a young team. “
“The coach wants us to match his own expectations. He wants us to work and to try to become like Xavi.” “It’s important for me to accept his comments and to work hard to get better.”
Both France and England will be trying to win their group in the last game on Tuesday night, which both start at the same time, so no country gets an advantage from knowing the other country’s result.
The winners of group D go against the runner-up in Group C, which is likely to be Croatia – maybe, and the runners-up of Group D play the winners of group C – which is likely to be Spain, the World and reigning European Champions.
It would be nice if England can miss Spain in the quarter finals, although we did beat them in our last game against them.
That’s when we won 1-0 at Wembley on November 12th of last year – with Frank Lampard getting the winner after 49 minutes – but Spain had about 91% of the possession after that goal, as we recall - or was it 92%? 
Comments welcome.

3 SuperShearer // Jun 16, 2012 at 2:59 PM
He’s class! We’ll do well to hold onto him come the end of next season if he continues to progress like this. But he’s on a long term deal and you suspect wouldn’t now be sold for anything less than £25-30 Million. Would love to see him here long term though. Always comes across as a true gent as well.

It just seems like 5minutes ago we were scrappin it out in the championship with alan smith in the middle of the park. Now we have a squad truly bristling with talent, real world class players. Cisse tiote cabaye etc etc all genuine right up there with the best in their respective positions.
Hands off you grubby journo’s, how funny it was when I read about harry redknapp being linked with us after his sacking hahahahahahaha no thanks sad face, go and take another tramadol

Can’t wait too see mackem o neil’s face next season as they struggle around the bottom of the league. Let’s face it, they have nothing going for them
6 Beattie25 // Jun 16, 2012 at 3:18 PM
If you look at our first team for next season and take out the players that may leave it truly is a marvel how far we have come in the 3 years since relegation.
GK – Tim Krul – 24 – Potentially World Class
RB – N/A
CB – Steven Taylor – 26 – Potentially World Class
CB – Fab Collocini – 30 – World Class
LB – Davide Santon – 21 – Potentially World Class
CM – Cheik Tiote – 25 – World class
CM – Yohan Cabaye – 26 – World Class
CM – N/A
RW – Hatem Ben Arfa – 25 – World Class
LW – N/A
ST – Papiss Cisse – 27 – World Class
Our team is full of amazing players and if we can keep them fit and add to that team I cannot see why we can’t claim 4th.
7 XtraTimeAndPens // Jun 16, 2012 at 3:19 PM
Cabaye played well yesterday I though. Think the game passed him by a little in the first half but he grew into it. He took his goal well and should have probably had another with the half volley that hit the post. I agree with what Ginola said yesterday, I think playing in England has really brought him on. He’s a far more complete player now it would seem than when he first arrived on Tyneside. Let’s hope we can keep him here for as long as possible.

8 kilcline // Jun 16, 2012 at 3:21 PM
Debuchy would be a great signing and would complete our back 4 with Steven Taylor coming back.
Then a replacement for Ba and Best who are both on their way. Kalou would be a good free addition to replace Best.
9 Ketsbaia9 // Jun 16, 2012 at 3:39 PM
Don’t forget that Mike Williamson and Danny Simpson are world class. Great performances from them against Wigan, Tottenham, Arsenal and Fulham.
10 DannyA // Jun 16, 2012 at 3:48 PM
i detect a hint ov sarcasim there Ketsbaia9 lol
i think we may sign debuchy now that we hav set the ball rolling with an initial bid for the lad however i still think Pardew and Carr will suprise us all wiv a couple ov signings that none expected i rekon barnetta maybe resurected again after all hes still locked in that hotel room lol

World class CB, RB, CM, LW..
Some dept in the squad, and we’re there.. simples!
15 Tsunki // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:24 PM
Cabaye needs better support this season so he can be more of the playmaker. It’s obvious he is more effective in an advanced role and we saw early on he has a canny eye for goal, and a decent FK on him. problem is we have struggled admirably with a slipshod back line that needed more of the usual cover from midfield. Plus we had HBA and Ba hemming him in. In conclusion, a proper back four that stick to their tasks and positions and don’t go pressing upfield for glory, with backup for the inevitable injuries. At least two defensive-minded midfielders in the squad so we can field a team that can shut up shop at any time. And we don’t need two out and out strikers on the pitch when you have HBA and Cabs pushing through. So Ba OR Cisse up front, not at the same time, except when we are 4-0 up, 15 mins to go and wanting to go on the rampage. There, sorted.
16 Tsunki // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:27 PM
Oh and it’s really quiet on here isn’t it?
I SAID ISN’T IT?????
17 danuneek // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:29 PM
I think the label world class is used far too often. Cabaye, tiote, ben arfa, ba and cisse are not world class. They are international class and have potential to become world class but they arent there yet. Would you say any of our players are in the same league as xavi, iniesta, silva, messi, ronaldo, rooney, van persie, otzil, sneijder, aguero etc… I wouldnt. I think thats the whole point of the article. Cabaye saying he hopes to be as influencial as xavi one day.
18 Tsunki // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:38 PM
Anyone want to explain the difference between ‘International’ and ‘World’ class?
Maybe Beattie should have said that HBA, Cabs, Tiote etc are ‘International class AT BEST’
19 pbNcl // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:38 PM
Haha no they ARE world class, can you really compare cisse to aguero and rooney?! He would eat them both alive, have you ever seen rooney play for england? He is dire. Cisse captain’s his national side. Ben arfa is miles better than otzil. Iniesta is a incredible midfielder, but tap tap tap football has its drawbacks, put him in a stoke side and you would see he is human. Cabaye in my opinion is a much more all round midfielder, better defensively, better engine and a greater goal threat. Our lads are more than international class, beattie was pretty accurate in his earlier post
20 pbNcl // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:41 PM
International class would be carroll (good goal), cisse would be world class. IMO
21 JackNUFC // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:41 PM
Just want peoples opinions on what you’s would like to be our Strongest starting XI for next season?
Personally mine would be.
Krul
Debuchy Taylor Colo Santon
Tiote
Cabaye Martin
HBA Cisse Affelay
Debuchy Affelay Martin – 20 million maximum?
Simpson Best Forster Ba – 17 million
Would be a very good and capable team pushing Europe each year.
22 pbNcl // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:42 PM
Cisse easily sits comfortably amongst the best finishers in the world. No doubt
23 Tsunki // Jun 16, 2012 at 5:49 PM
pbNcl – spot on with HBA vs Ozil. I also think HBA is better looking what with ozil’s poppy eyes an all.
Isn’t it funny how so many ‘world class’ players do things like score pretty good goals and get raved about, and yet when HBA scores after one of his mazy runs he’s …. well, not bad. I reckon if Messi had scored Welbecks goal we wouldn’t hear the last of it for weeks. Not that I like Welbeck that much, my point being that sometimes ‘World’ class players are very often that good because of the collection of individuals they play with as a team. I’ve lost count of all the ‘world’ class individuals who have absolutely bombed when taken out of their comfort zone to play in another league, or been sussed by crafty opponents. Nope, this ‘World’ class thing is a bit of a myth to me, at best a fleeting illusion that some players exude when they hit the right form at the right time in the right team.

Good post Tsunki
Double agree on benny’s charms over ozil’s ‘poppy eyes”! And that’s what I’m sayin, take some of these players out of their comfort zone and they could struggle heavily, but cisse, cabaye came straight in and went bloomin mental!
30 Cool Hand Luke // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:10 PM
Tsunki, good post. ‘World class’ is one of those football cliches that gets thrown about by Alan Hansen and the boys on MOTD for the lack of something better to say. It sits comfortably alongside ‘game of two halves’ and more recently ‘footballing reasons’. What does it even mean?
31 rich_toonfan // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:11 PM
Sigurdson would be a good addition to the squad.
Remember people that it’s no good just signing players to play 4-2-3-1.
In some game we could go 4-3-3, 4-4-2, etc
We need to adapt to who we play so the more variety the better
32 Tsunki // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:11 PM
gt89 – that’s a bit wishful innit mate? Don’t you think our midfield needs a bit more of a defensive posture?
33 GeordieToon89 // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:14 PM
we need goalscoring midfielders
34 pbNcl // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:15 PM
Na we don’t need sigurdsson, I like this idea of 2DM with cabs pushin up, and amilfitano covering when breaks are required. This sigurdsson would want frequent starts, and that’s not gonna happen.
I’m not going to speculate on transfer’s tho, I just trust our pardy and carr to sort it out! Although I’m really hoping for debauchy! Can’t deny that!
35 lewytoon // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:16 PM
id love siggurdson
cabaye-tiote-siggurdson
would be unreal, scores goals, young quick and skillful, with guthrie and smith gone and gosling on his way out apparently, we need another cm whos good
36 pbNcl // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:19 PM
He’s a deadly midfielder, very good. But its the starts we wouldn’t be able to provide in my opinion. And playing him on the regular would push cabs back. Jus sayin. However I would be as chuffed as everyone else if we got him
37 DannyA // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:20 PM
rumour has it west ham want shola for 20 mil lol if only!

and where have all these affaley rumours surfaced from? dont tell me the transfer mage dropped that 1 to haha!
38 Ketsbaia9 // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:20 PM
I’d rather we signed Marvin Martin, however, I wouldn’t be disappointed if we signed Sigurdssson. The blokes a real threat. I can see us finishing in the top three next season.
I know that Pardew’s going to make some class signings.
Man City and Chelsea will be fighting it out for the title. Spurs are in decline and will lose Modric and Bale in addition to not signing Jan Vertonghen. Man Utd will struggle unless they make 5/6 decent signings to come into the first team. Hopefully Giroud will sign for us instead of Arsenal.
39 pbNcl // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:22 PM
Gosling is dead wood. Completely without use in my humble opinion. Hate to be harsh but lacks about everything required to be a decent midfielder, pace, vision, passing range, timing of the tackle.
However, round my way, perch is still the boy
40 Beattie25 // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:24 PM
Going back to the World Class debate.
I think World Class is a title attributed to the talent of the player when they are on top form.
Consitency is another subject but when our top players are on top form they are ‘World Class’.
41 martoon // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:25 PM
Tsunki @18 – In my opinion ‘International Class’ is obviously a player good enough to play for his country i.e. one of the best in his position in his country where as ‘world class’ is a player who is one of the best in his position in the world.
As much as I have black & white eyeballs I’m not sure if we have any world class players yet but certainly some have the potential to be in the next few years.
42 tarie4 // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:26 PM
Tsunki
You’re spot on, the word world class is a myth. The press will tell U modric is world class, but take a loot at his stats for goals and assists and they will tell U, our very own yohan is better in that department, so too is Benny boy, and he played half a season (just about) look at Andy Carroll here he was unplayable, people were actually comparing him to shearer, as U said, a player is only as good as the players around him, and Andy Carroll proves ur statement.
Look at Suarez goal scoring record at Ajax, it was unbelievable, but he has faltered a bit at Liverpool too
43 Beattie25 // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:27 PM
I tell you who would be a good shout, Rasmus Elm.
He’s had a stinker of a tournament and his stock may have dropped but the lad is a quality player.
Whilst everyone has thier heads turned, this boy is coming home soon and we could steal in and maybe get him for less then his worth before the Euros.
44 DevonToon // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:27 PM
ben arfa… Undoubted ability! It truely is a rare talent proper world class but…. For me to be classed a world class player he needs to get 9-10 decisions right in a game, too often he didnt put a cross in… Or over dribbled… Etc. Cisse… World class? Lets see him do wat he did last season again next year and again after…then maybe put him in the same braket as aguro… Rooney… RVP theyve been bangin them in the top leauges for years! Now we do have capt colo… He would walk into barca’s team and look like he was a product of there youth system
45 Robinio // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:28 PM
forget all this speculation – we wont sign anyone “world class” because FCB wont spent the money either on fees or wages – all these “world class” players we are being linked with will end up at a club with world class ambition , not somewhere where everything is done on the cheap Lets face it how long has everyone been banging on about signing Debuchy being a certainty , and of course when a club comes in with a proper offer thats the end of us . Financial prudence wins nowt , investment is required and theres not a chance of that with FCB in charges cos he hates us all !
46 Ketsbaia9 // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:28 PM
Gosling has been poor, but he needs another season, as does Obertan. Expect a lot of midfielders to come through the door. It’s a shame that we couldn’t seal the deal for Darnel Situ as he looked a decent player.
47 Beattie25 // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:31 PM
It’s a little bit quiet on the Benjamin Corgnet front…

48 tarie4 // Jun 16, 2012 at 6:33 PM
On siggurdson, I dnt think we need him, we have vucik, and if we get him, wouldn’t that push cabaye back into the dm role??? I wud rather have cabaye in the more advanced position, where I think he will get goals.
siggurdson will just be a waste of money, would rather spend that on a good, solid dm, like Anita etc to play alongside tiote and free up cabaye, like the French formation.
Players like siggurdson martin etc a good players, and would love them here, but first we need a dm, rb, cb and a cf, after we get these over the line, siggurdson martin etc will be welcome additions, but not priority imo

Rob In Io….False optimism?
Will other clubs be keeping a closer eye on us due to our recent success in the transfer market? Sure.
Will the cheap cheap cheap man have just signed up the scout responsible for the recent success to a 8 year contract if he didn’t think we couldn’t keep it up??
I can understand not wanting to get carried away, but surely we’re past the “Ashley won’t spend a penny and will only sell players” days?
There is good reason to be optimistic these days, we’re back in Europe. Each person can choose how much optimism is good for them, but come on, have you not just witnessed the same season as me and most of the other Newcastle fans? Or perhaps it is a question of who you’re a fan of?

I just think that the players we aim for have the mentality to choose football over a pay day so 2/3 players we have a bid accepted for will come to us rather then get payed to sit on the bench every other week.
It is better to play for a club aiming to make history rather than becoming a part of a club with a rich history where you’ll be swallowed up and never remembered.

82 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jun 16, 2012 at 7:41 PM
Beattie…Very true. I honestly really like our current policy. We don’t have players going through the motions to pick up silly money. We have players wanting to better themselves and the club. Sure, some of them may want to move on to “bigger and better” things at some point and do you know what, that is fair enough. As long as they come in, give their all for the cause and don’t rip us apart if we encounter them at some stage after them leaving, then I’m happy.
83 Beattie25 // Jun 16, 2012 at 7:42 PM
It is no mistake that we have signed deeply religious who owe more to their faithand football than partying and massive wages. Cabaye is a family man and a incredible professional who will likely make footballing decisions in terms of his passion and family rather than a big pay day and the superstar and wag lifestyle.
I think the players we will aim for will be the ones not interested in money so in that repsect even if Man Ure, Inter or Real Madrid bid we still have a great chance f signing who we go for.

What happened to JB? Haven’t seen him on the blog in ages. Same goes for GG.
92 Beattie25 // Jun 16, 2012 at 7:51 PM
I know what you mean
Everytime we are linked with a player we all do our ‘dream temas’ and that means I have read and written 5694 dream teams in 2 weeks.

Sellasie’s probably a common surname over there. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if people changed their names to honor him.

97 Indian Magpie // Jun 16, 2012 at 7:57 PM

98 Beattie25 // Jun 16, 2012 at 7:58 PM
We need a RB, a WG and a CF?
Piszcek, Blaczcykowski and Lewandowski?
Sorry I’ve become Ketsbia there for a minute.

Ochy….Don’t say that. I would fear for the being left in the care of Beattie and I.
Goodnight Indian, I hope you sleep well
101 seantoon // Jun 16, 2012 at 8:25 PM
Don’t know whether anyone as mentioned it but I’ve seen the Czech winger pilar I think he’s called in the last 3 matches and he’s been brilliant. Just the type of player we need. I think he’s just signed for Wolfsburg though
102 croftus5678 // Jun 16, 2012 at 8:29 PM
marvaux = world class (mark my words) if he’s fit all next year he will be awsome his vision is second to none
103 pbNcl // Jun 16, 2012 at 8:30 PM
Was a good win for england last night, actually showed some passion. More of that please
104 Beattie25 // Jun 16, 2012 at 8:38 PM
croftus5678

105 GeordieToon89 // Jun 16, 2012 at 8:55 PM
Just started a new game on FM12 im being PSG and am guna give it a season then try and poach Cabaye/Tiote/Ben Arfa and Cisse ha
106 croftus5678 // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:02 PM
lw m8 he was injured most of last season i think played around 3 games for us (thats why we got him free from under liverpools noses) but when i see him play for us he was great everytime i see him

108 ochytoon // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:07 PM
Need to be in for that Tyton lad. I think he’s second or third choice keeper for PSV. Madness!

112 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:17 PM
He is? ow ok….playing well tonight
113 redondo77 // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:20 PM
if we can’t get Debuchy, then we should go for the Czech RB Theodore Gebre Selassie.
114 GeordieToon89 // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:21 PM
Haha made Debuchy me first signing as PSG manager ha
115 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:23 PM
Ivan Strini? pacey cheap RB has killer cross
116 GeordieToon89 // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:46 PM
Personally a think AVB will do a good job at Spurs, he’ll get the backing to get his own players in
117 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:49 PM
GeordieToon89
Mate you are way off the mark mate h8 to say it.. In the Portuguese community here its well known that AVB got to Chelksi on the back of another soccer master that is below him in Porto…
Go figure he could not cut it in Chelksi…
all a build up of perception and trickery….
118 Davies // Jun 16, 2012 at 9:59 PM
We were linked with Samaras a couple of years back. Glad we didn’t get him. He’s cack. Nice to see GG and JB are missed. Nobody misses old Davies.
119 valle // Jun 16, 2012 at 10:19 PM
Beattie25… Sorry mate, but that’s an overstatement if i ever saw one. Very careless use of the term “world-class”, which was meant for the absolute top players in their position some years ago and now its used by every fan’s favorite at their respective clubs. If we had a team full of world class players, we would be barca, and altho i love my club, we are NOT barca… Good players yes, but world class, no, not at all, none of them are (1 or 2 MIGHT be considered in such terms in 2-3 years time if they reach the absolute top)
120 SupaToonKid // Jun 16, 2012 at 10:48 PM
If we sign Debuchy i don’t really care who else we sign as i know we won’t buy some waster who will not add to the side. I just think Debuchy would be a real coup at anything up to £7M but of course he may prove difficult to sign if Lille up the price or a big spending side comes in but i still have confidence that we’re the front runners and can pull it off. If we don’t maybe worth taking a look at the Czech RB: Theodor Gebre Selassie as he looks a talented young player.
121 SupaToonKid // Jun 16, 2012 at 10:55 PM
Sigurdsson would be a terrific signing if we could get him but Liverpool (despite being a mediocre side) have to be favourites due to Gylfi’s & Brendan Rodger’s good relationship. We have two choices really: we either buy a CAM like Gylfi who will play behind Cisse and then use Cabaye as a box to box player like he is in the French national side and Tiote as CDM or we buy a CDM like Anita to play alongside Tiote thus pushing Cabaye forward to being the CAM. Really think though except for Debuchy all our other signing should be players younger than 25 so they can be with NUFC for a long time to come!

Robinio @ # 51
I really thought that the absolutely moronic anti Ashley posts were a thing of the past but obviously not.
You have obviously been in hibernation and have awoke thinking your fellow morons were still at large, please tell me thicko how can you line your pockets when you are 300Mil out of pocket on the deal from the start???????
If you were semi intelligent enough to check up on the way Ashley works (and it is in print in the public domain) he only takes money from success, so in order to get anything out of NUFC he needs to make it successful and we are as yet a long long way from being in a position to produce money at any reasonable level.
He owns and is the top man at SD where he has a none salaried position for the benefit of thicko’s like you that means he takes no wages. His money comes from bonuses in the form of a share issue that happens only if the company is successful.
So his wealth is based on success not bleeding his possessions dry you ********* I can’t think of an expletive that suitably describes your level of stupidity.

Gorgonzola @ # 107
Had you watched Samaras at celtic this last few seasons then you would not have posted such a post
124 Dondatta13 // Jun 17, 2012 at 1:34 AM
To me, these days “World Class” = Household name…
As we all know… There’s a lot of chunter (talk) about are players lately…
The Tiotes, Ben Arfas, Cisses Kruls, Cabayes of our team are fast becoming “World Class”.
