The latest set of quotes from the French club’s president Louis Nicollin have been an insult to NUFC, the city of Newcastle, and the fans of the club.
Cabella is still one of the options as they search for a replacement for Paris Saint-Germain January signing Yohan Cabaye.
Although there have been a lot of noises from Montpellier, none have come from the player himself.
Nicollin has publicly mocked Newcastle and spoken of his disappointment at the club’s treatment of defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, but Alan Pardew is thick-skinned.
Newcastle were not able to meet Montpellier’s asking price of around £15million in January and there is nothing to suggest anything has changed.
