That might keep him sweet but I think they need O Neill to keep him. I would love to see him go to Barca

Most consistant player at the club, i really hope he moves on too.He deserves a few medals

I would have to say Nobby Solano is the most consistant.Hes also an outfield player but sure its Shay so its not too bad.

what clubs if any have made noises about signing given? i wouldnt mind if he stayed at newcastle-he's appreciated so much there that i'm sure his confidence will remain high. just look at the duffer-really hope he gets a move. what odds on a return to blackburn for him ?
