Get in there! Newcastle are on a roll baby and the ride isn't just over yet. Last night we got news that Ba signed and now we can confirm that 25 year old Sylvain Marveaux has signed a 5 year contract with Newcastle!
"It's a great coup to have signed Sylvain, who has received interest from a number of other clubs," Pardew said.
"He may not be well known to many of our fans but he is a real talent and a player we have been keeping an eye on for some time. It's been a good couple of days for us on the transfer front."
Sylvain has come in as a free agent from french club Rennes, he is a versatile midfielder and predominantly plays as a left winger.
It was reported that Liverpool were on the verge of signing Sylvain but reports in France suggested that he failed his medicals.
The midfielder has stressed that it was not due to the medicals but rather the personal terms that both the parties could not agree on.
"I do not want to go into details, but if I have not signed for Liverpool, it was because there was a contractual disagreement between the involved parties, Thursday evening," Sylvain told L'Equipe.
"Today, I can undergo a medical before you and you will see there is no problem."
Although there maybe some concerns over his fitness, this should come as a huge boost to Newcastle who only have two genuine experienced wingers in Jonas and Ben Arfa! What more can i say? Next please!
