And if Mike Jones isn't reffing matches in Siberia next week.....
Not exactly Siberia, but he has been dropped from this weekend's matches and will serve as the fourth official in Sunderland.

Remy, stop tripping over your dick. I know it's hard to hit the net from six feet away....
EDIT: Okay, it was deflected.

PSG rumored to bid ~25m euro for Cabaye. I've seen from 22m to 26m. tough to turn that down.
Football weekly (amongst others) say that it's contingent on getting Remy Cabella from Montpelier

According to the Twittersphere, Adam Armstrong has been tapped to make the trip to Norwich. Further fueling speculation that Cabaye is gone.
I love how deep the squad is that when Cabaye inevitably jets off to Paris we have to call up an academy forward to sit on the bench.
Tyne-Wear derby this weekend at least.

Thanks for the memories. Anyone want a Cabaye jersey?
No word on the transfer fee. Sky Sports indicates all that is left is a medical.
I will hold off on flipping out until we learn the fee.
Sucks for you guys as fans but if you can get the reported £20M price for a 28-year-old central midfielder who you just bought a couple years ago for £4M then that's a pretty nice piece of business.
It's a nice piece of business, but it reeks of a club that is content to finish mid-table and it reeks of an owner who is content to turn a profit.
EDIT: I guess I should continue to withhold judgment until the window is officially closed, to see if they bring in a player or two to try and replace him. But I am not optimistic and anticipate reading about how they were "close" but couldn't "get over the line."

I'm sorry to hear this for you guys. I really enjoyed watching Cabaye play and he always seemed to score great goals. It's a huge loss for the Prem, not just Newcastle. I hope you'll be able to replace him some how.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Didn't mean to minimize the "this sucks" factor here for fans. He's a total class player and really fun to watch in the few Newcastle games that I've caught the last couple years.
Cabaye has killed Liverpool with a couple of brilliant strikes in recent years. Sorry for you guys and the EPL's entertainment level that he has to go, elated for Liverpool that he's leaving.
If losing Cabaye gets us Luuk de Jong and Cabella from Montpellier, I'll be ok. From what I read Cabella has a lot of potential
Charlie Adam? No. Just no.
With Gouffran out tonight and Cabaye gone, I wonder if they slot Ben Arfa in behind Remy or out wide for Gouffran.
Where the hell is Marveaux?

I'd rather see Ben Arfa out wide and Sissoko in the middle, since he a better distributor and defender. Maybe Remy on the other side and Shola or Cisse up top?
I'm following along on gamecast. first half: 16 shots, 2 on goal. What the hell are they doing?

Tripping over themselves. HBA had a very good chance from about 10 feet with the goalie on the other side of the net, and HBA drilled it into the turf and it sailed over the bar.
HBA wins another free kick. They need convert one of these. I seem to recall they had a player who was fantastic at taking free kicks....
My current game of PFM agrees.Infield Infidel said:
Losing cabaye just sucks endlessly, because we now have only destroyers and attackers in MF. There's no creator or connector. Although I will say that if they buy a random Frenchman as cover, they have the benefit of my doubt. If it's a fat Briton, less so.
Luuk passed his medical and will be unveiled today.
Lyon has confirmed a bid from Newcastle for Grenier. Hopefully this ends up working out.

Heard it is an £8.5 Million bid, and IIRC Lyon wants £10. Not too far apart. Should get done.
Kinnear at the start of the transfer window: "No player will be leaving the club in January."
Cabaye at his PSG introduction press conference: "There was an agreement in place for me to leave in January."
Inmates, asylum, and all that.
