a1canary 0 Posted January 28, 2014 "Paris St-Germain reportedly came in with a £14m bid for Magpies midfielder Yohan Cabaye over the weekend and they do not strike me as the sort of club that will walk away from a deal like that with the wealth that they have. I would be very surprised if PSG do not secure Cabaye by the end of the week. They might end up paying nearer £20m but, if they want Cabaye, I would expect them to get him." Whatever you think of him, he''s more often right than wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooster 134 Posted January 28, 2014 By the way, he''s forecasting 1-1 tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 28, 2014 Tough to say if i''d take 1-1 tonight. Perhaps it wouldn''t be the most helpful result.If we played really well and it was a good game to watch, a point wouldn''t be bad, but I think we have to look at this one as a potential 3 points.

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 28, 2014 Were you being sarcastic a1?Otherwise why are you given him credit for something extremely obvious?And he should be able to get things right, he''s a paid football ''expert''. And reportedly gets paid quite a bit. When in reality he knows no more than the average football fan who gets to watch and research as much as him. Plus he''ll have people telling him things to say etc. Match of the Day could easily be completely scripted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 517 Posted January 28, 2014 Agree that Lawro usually pits us as underdogs. Anyway, Cabaye now having medical with PSG & unavailable for tonight. Great chance for Norwich to get a result! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It''s a decent enough shout from the guy. Kindness and humility are wonderful things. You should try them sometime [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted January 28, 2014 BTW, the PSG price for Cabaye is a good illustration of the way you have to overpay to buy a player in January. Also it''s interesting to read from Gail Emms comments, she actually knows a bit about football, unlike most of the celebs predicting against Lawro. So I hope her prediction for us is based purely on wanting to annoy her dad ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted January 28, 2014 [quote user="Samwam27"]Agree that Lawro usually pits us as underdogs.[/quote]If you check his prediction league he''s been pretty decent to us this season if he was always right predicting our games we''d be sitting on 28 points.

Surprised he''s stayed at Newcastle for this long.Fellaini cost more, in the summer, and Cabaye is easily as influential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
