Sadly clinging to these Grenier bid rumours this fine morn.

You got it.

Rodgers admits they couldn't compete with Chelsea financially for Salah.

We need one for the Cabaye saga.

Winter is coming.

HF takes the Cabaye news badly....

I still giggle when I read german aloud.

Andy Brassell ‏@andybrassell 1 min Borussia Mönchengladbach just announced that Luuk de Jong not training today as medical with Newcastle is set up.

There won't be a CL push while MA is here. He simply won't take the risks or has the vision or creative interest in the game to try it.

Then what do you say to the other players when they knock on the door for a pay rise? Our wage bill and turnover is roughly the same as Villa and Everton. The top 4's wage bills are 3/4 times ours. Our benchmark rivals turnover say Liv and Spurs - one is double ours and the other 50m more... This is the reality of our marketplace. http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/apr/18/premier-league-club-accounts-debt PSG have spent 250m in two seasons.

Totally agree. But there is a wider picture and that pic is blurred by insane money and mercenary players...The modern game..No loyalty.

Ba was asking for 80k bro. It's what he's on at Chelsea. Remember those John Terry revelations and Ashley Cole getting moody...They were fighting over 115,000 and 70k a week. Rooney will be on 300k or summink and half the Man C side are on 100k or thereabouts... It's not just transfer fees...These kinds of players are completely fucked in the head money wise. Cabaye will have doubled his wages I have no doubt about that.

Probably won't get in the PSG side. Fuck him!

Tbf to CT people be tripping if they think we could have held onto Ba and Enrique. Both made it clear they wanted out and one had contractual advantages to do so asap. Both have been shit since, along with AC. I honestly can't image how we could have kept Cabaye if his behavior during the arsenal bid is anything to go by...

This is where I am too. Was totally unprofessional did his best to get us to take the Arsenal deal. That was one moment I was glad they had to deal with MA.

It's only Norwich ffs!

22.6m inc add ons.

We'd have to have nobody leaving and buy 3 quality players to even think about it.

Pards saying Cabaye will play. Shows deal is nowhere near done.

Dat delegation.

Get French Football ‏@GFN_France 1m Le Parisien LATEST: PSG Sporting Director Olivier Létang has arrived in England today negotiate the transfer of Yohan Cabaye. #PSG #NUFC Expand

Unfortunately contracts mean nothing these days when players indicate they want to leave. It was only a short time ago he made some kind of stand cause we didn't take 10m from Arsenal. Now that would have been criminal but to our credit we turned it down flat. I do agree however that our attitude as a club is also partly to blame for this scenario..

It could be worse we could have just spent 37m on (where will he play) Mata.
