Newcastle Transfers: 10 Signs Remy Cabella Is Perfect Cabaye Replacement

2. 14 Goals

Otherwise Known As: The number of goals he scored for Montpellier last season. Newcastle need to add goals to the side, having relied way too much Remy as their talismanic striker last season. It is clear from the transfer agenda this summer that there is some intention to add goals to the side, not only from midfield, where Siem De Jong and Cabella should both help Yoann Gouffran in the goal stakes, but also from the bench, where Ayoze Perez will be able to run defences ragged for the last 30 minutes of games, and Facundo Ferreyra will be a useful option. Importantly, if Newcastle can get Cabella to score anything above double figures - something we've traditionally seen at Newcastle with the likes of Gary Speed - it will go some way to increasing the paltry 43 goal haul of last season, improving the goal difference ratio by season's end.
