O’Neill’s Beyewatch pays off, Habib is now a Villan.
Posted on August 7th, 2009 | 4 Comments |
Villa had previously expressed an interest in the Senegal star, and it always seemed a more likely choice if Villa were to meet Hull’s bid of around £2.5 million, though the figure is currently undisclosed.
Beye was signed by Newcastle United in August, 2007 from Marseille, and it has been said that our interest in him was initially sparked by an excellent performance when Marseille knocked us out of the UEFA cup three years earlier. Beye played for United in what has undoubtedly been a lacklustre period in the club’s history. However he always escaped the criticism levelled at many other players due to his solid and highly consistent performances amidst the chaos that was frequently going on around him.
Beye made a total of 52 appearences for United in his two year spell on Tyneside.
In other news, Beye’s fellow defender and transfer target, Sebastien Bassong was officially confirmed as a ‘Spurs player today. We reported on the story yesterday, when Sebastien was undergoing a medical for the North London club. He is another player who will be sorely missed from the NUFC back line.
