Newcastle Transfers: 6 Reasons To Sell Yohan Cabaye

5. Newcastle Are Four Players Short Of Competing

When Newcastle last sold a player at the height of his market value- Andy Carroll to Liverpool for a snigger-inducing £35 million- the club were able to sanction the signings of Ba, Cabaye, Santon and others, and subsequently had their highest league finish for nearly a decade. It has long been an open secret that, despite record TV revenue, Newcastle are funding incoming transfers through sales, and an injection of £20 million could fund the capture of the extra striker, winger, playmaker and defensive back-up that Newcastle desperately need. Or whatever Joe Kinnear imagines they need. Kebabs, probably.
