Question Marks (Again) Over Yohan Cabaye Visa

25 July 2011 12:17
Can someone please explain to me why Yohan Cabaye couldn't join the US tour ... yet Paul Dummett can? Cabaye was told he couldn't join the Newcastle players in Yankeedoodle-land because the Burger-chompers wouldn't give him a visa. There was obviously concerns as to 'why' he was knocked back, and Newcastle United issued a cock-and-bull story that he "hadn't paid a dentist for treatment". Does that REALLY have the security bells ringing in America? Then Newcastle issued a statement: "It was a misunderstanding and it has been sorted out." So Cabaye would be travelling to America then? Alan Pardew: "No, it takes three weeks to get a visa so we have sent him to Holland with the reserve side". BUT ... we hear today "reserve team left-back Paul Dummett has already set off for the States as a replacement for injured Ryan Taylor and the 19-year-old Welsh Under-21 international will figure against Columbus". So no three week wait for a visa then?
