Newcastle are keen to move Hendrick, Ryan Fraser and Isaac Hayden and on. They have one, two and three years respectively left on their contracts. Just paying them off would be costly and would also hurt Newcastle because of FFP rules.
Eddie Howe ends Ryan Fraser silence and explains why Newcastle haven't sold Hayden and Hendrick - Chronicle Live
Southampton are reportedly interested in Hayden, and Celtic in Fraser, but Hendrick (31) doesn't seem to be mentioned in the 'transfer rumours' columns.
Thought they would have shipped him off to one of their Saudi Arabian teams by now. Seems his most likely destination and should probably spell the end of his international career.
I totally forgot he was still a Newcastle player
Reportedly of interest to Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, West Brom and Aberdeen, according to Football Insider, echoed by the Sheffield Star today.
he's not good enough for the saudi league. league one or lower championship if he's lucky.Quote:

Reported (Football Insider, echoed by the Sheffield Star today) to be the subject of interest by Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, West Brom and Aberdeen.
Lower championship - he'll fit in well at Wednesday then ;{Quote:

Signed on loan and then goes off on international duty, Hmmmm.
You should be thanking the football gods that ye have signed an Irish international ~ Even on loan.Quote:

Came on as sub in the 79th minute in the home game against Championship leaders Leicester. Scored a 93rd minute equaliser to salvage a point for the bottom club.
Steve Bruce currently planning his Ireland resurgence around a born again Jeff
Released by Newcastle, in a major (not) shock.
Got 14 minutes with Sheffield Wednesday on loan since New Year's; hasn't started a game since Sept. Injury didn't help, but still, he wasn't heavily involved there even when fit. Does he get a Championship move for next season? Still only 32 so in theory has a couple of seasons ahead of him yet.
Also mad to see the previous post from six months ago was a reference to our manager(less) situation. Bet RLP didn't imagine that would be as relevant six months later!
I think it might be time for Jeff to go for the overseas pay day. Anywhere from the MLS to the A-League to Saudi might work with his CV of Premier League, international and finals tournament experience. I don't think there's a game for him in the top two divisions in England anymore sadly. Seems to have suffered a really steep decline in the last couple of years, but then maybe his talents were always a bit overstated to begin with.
Harry Arter will be another one looking for work this summer, Darren Randolph too, all three have made some great money in recent years in return for not playing. James McCarthy still has another year to go on his Celtic contract somehow.
Jeff's wife is Scottish, he might be the right hit for Hubs as wellQuote:

He made a fortune by signing for Newcastle. I wouldn't say that was a wrong step at all. Most of these guys are out to make money, and good on them for doing it. There's a reason James McCarthy is collecting a paycheck at Celtic, he could have moved on years ago if he was willing to terminate his deal and leave some money on the table.
