Surely can’t be being considered as a first team option if he only played 5 games for relegation possibles Newcastle ?
Would prefer we sign Gandalf. Also has a long staff but unlike Matty brings a little magic to the party. Expect some fireworks if we get him.
I don't think that it means he is available for free in six months, he's still only free at the end of his contract. It just means that he can negotiate with overseas clubs in the next January window. To be fair (according to the reports) he could've gone to Udinese last summer, then he could've come on loan to us in January but used the first as leverage to get a new contract and flat out refused to entertain the second. I'm not sure he's worth that much effort, given he's never been able to break into a Newcastle team that have been mainly average over the last couple of years.
This guy's an idiot. Had the opportunity to come to us to help a Championship promotion push but turned it down as wanted to fight for his Newcastle place and didn't get in the team, now he's off on loan to a farmer's league.
Gutted about this. Hopefully we sign his uncle, Eddie the Black Prince, or his cousin William Sellsword.
