There is news coming through that the father of Newcastle midfield target – Remy Cabella of Montpellier – has said the deal is being negotiated, and that his son will be joining Newcastle in January.
Remy Cabella – joining Newcastle in January
There’s a report in the Metro that reports are coming out of France that his father, Hector Cabella, is quoted as saying the following:
‘Yes we are negotiating Remy’s transfer.” “He will join Newcastle this winter.”
And there’s some credibility in that statement from his father, because he’s also is his son’s agent.
Montpellier and Newcastle have been in negotiations for the player in January, but there have been conflicting statements from both the Montpellier Chairman Louis Nicollin, and the player himself about whether he would stay at Montpellier through the end of the season, to help them fight relegation.
And the fee that the French club wanted was around £14M, so if Newcastle have indeed agreed to pay out £12M, the deal could well have been done and Newcastle may have got themselves a top young midfielder, who has skills galore.
And if Newcastle do manage to wrap up this deal, it will be the first permanent signing for Director of Football Joe Kinnear at Newcastle, and it looks a good one at that.
23 year-old Cabella has played 17 times with four goals for the French U21 side, and the rumors early in January were that he wanted to join Newcastle.
We hope the reports and quotes in France are real and accurate.

Comment #86Get in!
Imagine how many goals other players could have had, therefore potentially more points, if Remy had passed on the numerous occasions his teammates were better placed to shoot.
Gouffy is selfless.

Comment #88Great goal by Cabaye!
He did exactly what he wanted to. Didn’t just smashed it. Instead, put it with quality in the corner.
Great goal. A good pass by Goofy as well.

Comment #99this is a classic allardyce team. all brawn and no brains.
But these missed chances have me worried. We really need to score a second goal to give ourselves a cushion. If they bring on Caroll i sense an equaliser Our central defence is a shambolic at the moment.

Lol glad I got a response but you clearly don’t read my posts, unlike most on here I’ve never criticised Cabaye, I’ve consistently backed him. I suggest you go back to last weeks posts it should be become clear!! 😉

Comment #110useful scouting material on cabella here. He seems more like a replacement for Marveaux.
