Papiss Cisse can leave Newcastle for £6million this summer. The striker has a buy-out clause that is set to be activated in July. Qatar Stars League clubs are chasing Cisse, 28, who is out of form and favour on Tyneside. Al-Rayyan lead the race and the Senegal international – still with three-and-a-half years left on his contract – is understood to be keen to go to the Arab state. Newcastle wanted to swap Cisse for Borussia Monchengladbach’s Holland striker Luuk de Jong. But Cisse, who Toon signed from Freiburg two years ago, has no interest in a return to Germany. The Magpies, though, still have de Jong, 23, on their radar.

Will there be any form of backlash from fans, local media etc or will it be brushed under the carpet as usual.

So who's to blame for this ? It must be the club for disclosing the original interest from Arsenal because before then Cabaye seemed happy enough was playing well and had loads left on his contract. The club should have point blank told Arsenal to fuck off and said nothing to Cabaye.

So realistically what are the chances of getting a replacement in before Friday.

I would imagine if he hadn't got away this week the toys would have been out the pram on Saturday morning.

It just shows these contracts are shit with over 2 years to run on his in the end it meant fuck all. What was it JFK said a few days ago about no one leaving what an arsehole

It's like people dont believe what we told earlier in the season.

"You are talking to someone who lost Andy Carroll with eight hours to go, so am I confident? No, I'm not confident, and I don't think any team not in a Champions League position or fighting for a Champions League position could be. "You are talking to a manager who actually when he lost Andy Carroll, lost a massive part of a team that wasn't safe. We didn't have 36 points when we lost Andy Carroll, so it was a hell of a blow(we had 30 points but were a place higher, in seventh. Wolves stayed up with 40). "I still maintain that was one of my best periods as a manager at this football club, getting us safe that year, so in terms of my mentality, I'm just strong about it. "I am strong whatever happens. I am the manager and I have got to deal with it. "We know we have got a club interested in Cabaye, a very wealthy club and a powerful club, and we are conscious of that - we are doing our best to protect Newcastle." Asked if Cabaye had played his last Newcastle game: "I'd like to think he has learned from that experience because I think he could have dealt with it better. I don't see a problem at Norwich, and obviously sunderland doesn't matter because it is outside of the window. He will either be here or he won't. "We are hoping to sign a player outside the Cabaye situation for the second half of the season, and we are getting a little bit closer to that, on a positive side."

I DONT predict a riot .

I suppose we'll have a better idea tomorrow if he travels with the team given that the club are not confident about keeping him. Was there a press conference today ? for tomorrow's game.

Well the writings on the wall then isn't it.

Have NUFC stated any intent on keeping Cabaye or are they willing to let him go to the highest bidder.

All we can hope for now is his replacement's equally as good if not better.

I think were further on now he may have thought that after not being able to get away in August he'd be off first chance he got. Obviously it's all guess work on our behalf but unless we hear that he intends to see out the season I can see him being away this week.

At the end of the day the choice is Cabaye's.

I suppose we'll see if there's any commitment to the club at all.

I think we can all sense somethings going to happen this week regarding Cabaye. Obviously he'll be aware of the bids coming in he isn't out of contract so he doesn't have to go this window but it feels like he will.

The fat lad could potentially trouser another 35 million this week Cisse 10 & Cabaye 25

Given that Cisse's forgotten how to score I cant see it being a big problem. The big problem for me as I've said in a previous post would be the departure of Remy (11 goals) & Cabaye (7 goals)

CT my daughters just told me the cut off date for this year was 15th January mate.

CT if your daughters hoping to make a start she may have to get a wriggle on as my daughter who's 19 has had 2 interviews the last 2 Wednesdays she's got her last one this week at Stockton on Tees for Durham uni she's hoping to do the same as your daughter by the sounds of things Primary Education BA Hons had 2 conditional offers (300 UCAS points CRB check thing 15 days placement oh and pass a basic maths & english exam they're booked in for February) I know my daughters slightly younger than yours but hope this helps.
