Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will again spend the January transfer window trying to hang on to star midfielder Yohan Cabaye. The 27-year-old France international has been a central figure in the Magpies' encouraging start to the Barclays Premier League campaign.
He said: "I am pretty confident that my owner and the club are in a great financial position. I would be a lot more nervous if we weren't.
"He's a great player, there are always going to be big clubs sniffing around him. We are fortunate to have him, we are enjoying him while he is here and long may that continue."
