Luuk De Jong deal completed he will wear the number 18 shirt. Top striker, good target man with great technical ability, I don't think he fitted into monchengladbach's style. Will he be available for Saturday?

He looked a good player in holland. Plenty of goals. Not a great time in germany though so let's hope he can get back to where he was a year ago. Dutch players have a decent history in english football and tend to fit well into the EPL. now for a midfielder. grenier doesn't look bad but i'd prefer cabella. Different type of player to cabaye ( more attack minded) but apparently a really good player who like to carry the ball and run at defenders.

Wud lyk 2 thank yohan cabaye for his 2 n half years on Tyneside an absolutely brilliant player n performer! shame Ashley didn't have the same ambition as cabaye n I don't blame him for jumping ship 2 a club that does want more than just finishing in the top half of the table! Support the team n not the regime

De jong to score the winner on saturday

Seen nothing of the lad but read some good things about him. Does anyone know if he has pace?

6.) 29 Jan 2014
Cabaye said in his press conference that he had an agreement to leave this month - why on earth didn't we line up and secure a replacement before he left

Now we are running out of time to secure a replacement and the price will be elevated for anyone we will go for

Squad looks a lot thinner for the rest of the seasons and all our strikers are on loan and not guaranteed to stay past the end of the season

Bad planning all round from jk et all!

Good player in Holland. so was Jon Dahl Tomasson.

Not saying he won't work out, but a lot of players come and fail to cut it. He didn't do a job at Gladbach, hopefully he will prove me wrong

Mick i'd compare him to cisse with his pace, but the lad is a great target man, and has fantastic technique and skill

Not overjoyed with this transfer at all, again the club failing to actually put some money on the table to spend. The lad has failed miserably in germany and whether that was down to their style of play or not only time will tell. Having a fantastic record in the dutch league is nothing to brag about, I mean altidore has a good record there.
As for Clement Grenier, I must confess I didn't know a lot about the boy, but he has scored some absolutely stunning goals and can hit the ball as well as cabaye. I feel he's exactly what we need, he may be worse off defensively but with tiote and anita/sissoko sitting, we need someone playing between the lines and if we get him in, I think would be a huge piece of business. BUT ashley is famous for putting "big" bids in for players towards the end of a window and never actually getting them across "the line".

He will have to hit the ground running on Sat as I don't think anyone else is fit up front, regards Grenier just pay the money and get him in.
