With Yohan Cabaye’s transfer from Paris St Germain to Crystal Palace confirmed, Adam Bate examines what the former Newcastle midfielder can bring to his new club and exactly why it will be considered such a coup.
When a new player arrives at a club it’s customary for supporters to consider what he’ll bring to the team. Crystal Palace fans could well be asking a similar but subtly different question regarding Yohan Cabaye: What won’t he bring to this team?
They might remember the performance he served up on his last visit to Selhurst Park. Newcastle were 3-0 winners that day in December 2013 – a result that kept Alan Pardew’s Magpies in the top six and Palace in the drop zone. Cabaye scored the opening goal.Pardew praised the “functionality” of his team, with one exception. “The bottom line is the player has a true character and he added an x-factor for us today. When you’re at the top of the Premier League you can't stay there unless you have got x-factor and he gives us that.”
Cabaye left for Paris Saint-Germain the following month and life at Newcastle seemed like a slog for Pardew and his players from that point onwards. In Cabaye's final two seasons at St James’ Park, the team’s win percentage was 45 per cent with him and 21 per cent without.
