    Apparently talks with Celtic ended badly with him being pretty much being thrown out due to his attitude and him saying "f**k off I never wanted to join anyway" type thing. He apparently has a shockingly arrogant attitude.

    Regardless of his alleged arrogance why the hell would he miove to Celtic in the SPL? He has proven he can do a job in the English Premier league - not for a top 6 club but he should have a few options in the summer.

    Don't know about that, I heard he went to Glasgow for medical and talks, but saw the state of the place and didn't want to live there

    Not only is that possible, it's also entirely probable.

    Presuming that Brozek can translate Polish League form to SPL as good as Zurawski did, I'm not sure how Lennon would have operated with 4 strikers that are more than comfortable at SPL level; Stokes, Brozek, Best and Hooper. Samaras is there too.

    Best would most likely have scored bags of goals in Scotland but settling up there and competition for places could have been issues. He'll just have to carry on as third choice behind Ba and Cisse until the summer comes.

    Hopefully Brozek translates better from Polish than that Irish Independent journalist.

    Out for around 6 weeks after a knee injury that forced him off early today. I think he'll struggle to get back in ahead of Ba and Cisse on today's evidence. A decent squad option for Pardew but I think that could be the best he achieves for the rest of this season.

    Flash Leon back on the bench for Newcastle today. They're 2-0 up already at Stoke so a good chance he'll get a run out.

    Best and Stokes would be interesting. I think he'd fly it up there but would rather see him stay in England. SPL is not a good league
    Folding my way into the big money!!!

    And now linked with a return to Southampton: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/...r-League-club/ (some of the pics are a little NSFW so here's the relevant text)
    Southampton are preparing a £2m raid to bring back Newcastle striker Leon Best.

    Republic of Ireland international Best, 25, began his career at Saints before a £650,000 move to Coventry in 2007.

    Best joined Newcastle two years ago. He scored 10 goals in 42 league games, but has fallen down the pecking order following the arrivals of Demba Ba and Pa**** Cisse.
