I doubt it. His CV is far better than any of the CBs who've been at Newcastle in the last 5 years, he's a better defender than anything they have there and captained Lyon for 5 years, not to mention you'd pick him up for free. Ligue 1 and it's mentality ain't great, but that doesn't instantly belittle the players in it, especially when they're amongst the best in it.
