It's Down To - Mike Ashley v Inter Milan

The Mathieu Debuchy saga drags on . but with an added twist. Newcastle's bid of £6 million is expected to be beaten by a £7 million bid by Inter Milan! Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye was confident his mate would be completing a deal to come to Tyneside "very soon". But the Lille right-back has NOT agreed terms, despite what Debuchy’s agent claims. Lille allegedly want £8.6 million - and they must be delighted Inter have joined the race because the deal now becomes an auction. Ashley cannot slap down a cheque and say "take it or leave it" anymore . not when Inter can top it.
