10 Reasons Newcastle Must Give Jonas Gutierrez A New Contract

9. He Cares

John Carver often said that no one at Newcastle cared about the club more than he. Obviously he forgot Jonas Gutierrez existed. All you need to do is look at Jonas' story to see how much he cares about Newcastle Untied. After being diagnosed with testicular cancer, the winger was told to find a new club by Alan Pardew and the Newcastle board. He was forced out on loan to Norwich before he had to take time away from the game in order to go through all sorts of chemotherapy and rest himself back to full health. Less than four months after announcing he had been given the all clear from cancer he had fought his way back into the Newcastle first team and proved himself to be one of the club's top performers. Putting many of the current squad, and their lengthy contracts to shame. Hard work has been the name of Jonas' game for the entirety of his time in a Newcastle shirt, proving how committed he is to the club's cause. It would have been easy for him to simply retire after everything he has gone through, something no one would have complained about if he had done so. Thankfully for Newcastle, he saw it as his duty to help the club in its hour of need and everyone, especially Mike Ashley, should be grateful to him for that. This just sums it all up... "I'm proud to be a Geordie." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Oz70U2Eq4
