Could Bolton Relegation Pave Way For Toon Signing?

Is Alan Pardew after Bolton Wanderers midfield star Mark Davies? The Chronicle caims that Pardew ran the rule over the 24-year-old on Saturday at the Reebok Stadium. The Chronicle: "Sources close to Davies have indicated that the midfielder would relish the chance to join the Magpies next season, with European football only increasing his appetite to switch to Tyneside. "The Chronicle reported on February 14 that United were keeping tabs on the ex-Wolves man with the black-and-whites already prepared to bolster their squad. "With six games left, United are still waiting to see exactly what – if any – European competition they will be fine-tuning their pool of players for next season. "Wolverhampton-born Davies’ future may also be determined by whoever survives the relegation battle in the top flight – or faces the drop. "The Black Country lad is contracted at the Reebok until 2015. "However, it is believed that Davies, who has scored three goals and made one assist, is not prepared to ply his trade in the second tier."
