Montpellier boss Rolland Courbis says Remy Cabella gaffed joining Newcastle United.

Cabella left Montpellier two years ago for Toon.

Courbis, speaking to RMC, said “With some irony, I said that I was not mad about Newcastle (as a choice of destination).

“I sincerely hope with all my heart, because God knows I love this little boy, that he has a huge contract financially. From being with Montpellier and being in the 23 players that represent the France team, to going to playing only a part of the games, while scoring one goal when you scored 15 or so with Montpellier (a season), I really hope he has some financial compensation.

“If in the morning, he wakes up, and he is happy to go to train at Newcastle, he will have to question himself."
