Cabaye the lad? NUFC blooper confirms signing?

The rumour suggesting that we've signed Yohan Cabaye has been going around for about a week or so now I guess.

Of course there is a serious reason to believe the speculation on this occasion aswell after the player and his manager both confirmed that Cabaye was on his way to Newcastle. Still nothing is ever certain when it comes to Newcastle so a lot of people, quite rightly, are awaiting official confirmation of the deal before debating the merits of the player.

Has the confirmation been leaked from the club though? I don't mean in a cloak and dagger secret source kind of leak either. I mean in a balls up, sh*t that shouldn't have happened kind of leak.

Apparently there was a video added to the NUFC website earlier. Not the bog standard website before you all rush on there and have a look. I mean the NUFC TV website. Now I don't pay for subscriptions so I can't validate this, but apparently there is a video up there entitled "Cabaye first interview". Have a look for yourself here.

Well?

The question is, why is it Cheik Tiote in the image? Well I bet it's simply a test using the last video uploaded. When, or if should you prefer to maintain that stance, the signing of Cabaye is confirmed they will just pop the video of him in instead of the Tiote one. Kind of like a test run if you like.

Of course it could just be someone pissing about and having a laugh at our expense, so what we really need is someone who has NUFC TV online to confirm this for us. I used to have it many moons ago but cancelled it, eventually, after about a thousand attempts so I've been reluctant to sign up again, even using the free trial vouchers that I've got sitting around somewhere.

It would be nice if somebody can quantify this. In the meantime I'm off for a few hours kip!
