It is fair to say that if Newcastle United supporters had it their own way then Jonas Gutierrez would most certainly be offered a new contract by the club. The Argentine midfielder has made almost 200 appearances for the Magpies since signing from Mallorca in 2008 - and he has also battled back from testicular cancer to regain a first-team place. Gutierrez's return to the Newcastle fold against Manchester United at St James' Park back in March was an emotional day for all involved - but sentimentality is highly unlikely to feature in the club's decision on whether or not to extend the 31-year-old's deal. Having loaned Gutierrez to Norwich City last season, then-Magpies boss Alan Pardew had already told the midfielder he was no longer part of the club's future - and, despite some battling and industrious performances in recent weeks, the wages the 22-cap Argentina international would command in his early-30s are unlikely to convince the club to offer him a new contract. Verdict: 10% chance of a new deal. The United hierarchy appeared to make up their mind about Gutierrez a long time ago and, despite some battling displays following his return from cancer treatment, the Argentine is unlikely to be offered a new deal. It seems Gutierrez himself has already accepted this and he has started planning for life away from Tyneside.
