Newcastle Transfers: Magpies Again Linked With Gignac
French goal-scorer could be up for a move in January.
I hear a lot about Gignac moving to England at the moment. I think something may be going on in January. The question is whether it will be clubs of interest, and if he will want to move in January in the middle of a great season for him. Now a club threatened by relegation, or a club like Tottenham, which is in trouble, could move for him. If it is Tottenham or Newcastle, why not? These are great clubs. But he is currently the number one striker in a team that is hot, and changing to a club in trouble, it is a decision that is not easy to take for him.Gignac already has 10 goals this season, and even though he's 29, if the price is right his age won't really come in to it, particularly as Newcastle are currently pretty well stocked for young up and coming strikers to replace him in the long term. Obviously the potential for a sell-on wouldn't be particularly high, but his value on the pitch would also be taken into account, and he remains a smart idea in those terms. But since when did Comolli have any impact on Newcastle's transfer policy? What matters is that he has been scouted on multiple times this season, that he's comparatively affordable and that he's not signing a new contract at Marseille. So, everyone get sending him pictures of the Tyne Bridge and that on Twitter, because that's how we'll convince him...
