Whilst it is true that Cabaye spent the entire summer wanting away from Newcastle, the fact is that he is the glue that holds this side together and Newcastle would have been in big trouble if he had decided to leave in the summer. And although Newcastle have plenty of talented individuals in the squad, mostly French, Yohan Cabaye is one man who has been there for a while and knows what it is like to get through a Premier League campaign.
It is no surprise to see that Newcastle’s form has improved tremendously, whenever Cabaye has played. And as much as he wants away, he is crucial to Newcastle’s plans as he is capable of handling the rigors of the Premier League with a finesse that is rarely seen anywhere else. Whilst it is true that he is talked about in the media, the fact is that his importance to the toon army cannot be underestimated and that is precisely why he is such an important part of this squad.
