Cabaye hits out at critics of Newcastle French players

Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye has defended the club's French players.

Toon dodged the drop only by beating QPR last Sunday.

But French midfielder Cabaye said: “The new French players will have time to prepare in pre-season.

“That will help. It’s very difficult to adapt quickly, especially moving in January.

“We have quality and can be much higher in the table.”
