Newcastle Transfers: 10 Signs Remy Cabella Is Perfect Cabaye Replacement

10. £8-12m

Otherwise Known As: The price tag. Considering some of the stats you're about to have analysed, the fact that Cabella was signed for anything under £20m is incredibly good business. Of course, what works in Ligue 1 is not the same as what works in the Premier League - just ask Gabriel Obertan - but Cabella is the kind of midfielder Newcastle have missed since Cabaye left and Ben Arfa was ousted out of the first team. And his acquisition by Lee Charnley for so little (especially if the deal was at the lower end of the scale as has been suggested) - particularly when Montpellier wanted more initially - is hugely impressive. Yes, it's somewhat odd to celebrate so wildly the celebrations, when it's tantamount to being starved for two weeks and then given all your meals at once at the end, but it is still right to acknowledge the impact that Charnley has had this summer. And if Cabella is as important to Newcastle by the end of this season as he was for Montpellier last season, his price-tag won't be important at all.
