Shola Staying Doesn't Give Much Hope For Signings!

Shola Ameobi is unlikely to be leaving Newcastle United this summer, according to Alan Pardew . despite the Toon boss telling us in May the Mackem Slayer was available for transfer. Long-serving Ameobi has been linked with a move away from St James’s Park as he enters the final year of his St James’s Park contract, with Middlesbrough ready to offer him a move to the Riverside. But with the club desperately short of strikers – and progress still awaited in the transfer market – Pardew is in no mood to let the 31-year-old leave the club. Alan Pardew: “Shola’s a player that’s under contract here. “He’s not made any noises to me that he wants to leave. “Certainly, with my striker situation at the moment, I need as many as I can get. “I’m pushing Joe to get a transfer in. “I think we need a boost now. We’re in a situation where we want to progress now. The team are in a good place.”   Source: Newcastle United Mad
