Newcastle's Ambition...

New signing Cabaye cant wait to put on the famous black and white jersey and has already signaled his ambitions and expects more signings to come.

"I am going to play in the best championship in the world for a club who want to get back into Europe within a year and one who are building an ambitious team.

"I am the first recruit but I have discussed things with manager Alan Pardew and I know others will follow. The directors have assured me on this point," he said.

Newcastle fans will be over the moon and will welcome such news coming out of the camp. However, experience has taught us not to jump the gun coz in Ashley, we cant trust.

But make no mistake, Newcastle ARE trying their very best in the market and one thing for sure is that it is very hard to attract top notch players who would rather play in the Champions league.

Newcastle have already failed on one target, Gameiro, but have quickly moved onto plan B. Pardew seems really determined and wont quit too easily.

"Things are definitely moving on now and we expect to be busier between now and the start of the season," Pardew said.

"We're working very hard on one or two players and we hope to announce something soon.

"We should be able to announce a second signing, I would think, in the next 10 days.

"We aren't going to rule ourselves out of any situation. We want quality players at this football club so if the players are out there and we think we've got a chance, we'll try our very best.

"Some players who we bid for might want Champions League football so they'll be going there, others will be prepared to come to us because of the magnificent fan base and the history here too.

"I think the likes of Everton, Sunderland and Bolton are the competitors that we have in this window, but we've got a chance because of the Andy Carroll money."

Newcsatle have been linked with many names and Pardew is keeping his cards close to his chest. For the fans, its agonising not knowing who the targets are and more names keep popping up day by day.

Names such as Gervinho and Nzogbia keep reappearing in the rags but it is impotant to know that these two players are quality and could easily be picked up by the top teams.

Pardew needs a selling point, and he's convinced Cabaye we're ambitious and that's job well done. Hope he can maintain this with other targets.
