Would make sense, he wouldn't even have to move home. Would be a good signing for Brighton, the bastards.

Linked with Robbie Brady today. Norwich want £12m. He'd be a great signing for the Championship but I can't see him as more than a squad player in the prem.

As much as we need bodies I'm against spending those sorts of figures for unproven or average PL players, Hogan's another one for a big fee. Loans is our best bet this window.

Even though he does cause tremendous issues... I would quite like to see us get Ravel Morrison on a free. He has been released by Lazio and is regaining his fitness with Wigan, I think we really need someone to nail down a place in number 10 role. Diame is either shocking or awesome, very inconsistent. Ayoze just doesn't seem with it at all. It's been so obvious since Shelvey has been banned that we have missed a playmaker of sorts. Getting Morrison on a free could either be exceptional or he could waste half a season on the bench/ reserves. I think it would be silly not to have a punt on the lad for free, we took a punt on HBA the troublemaker, under better management he has proven to be class

I'm not opposed to second chances, but the difference between Ravel and Hatem is that Hatem had already demonstrated ability in France, while Ravel has been all potential but shown almost nothing at the senior level.

I'd far rather have Ben Arfa back too if we were going down the route of ability over mindset

Can you picture Ben Arfa waddling through the doors at Whitley Park for his loan medical after the festive period?

Because he posted an Instagram video of him playing 5 aside wearing Newcastle shorts, he's apparently teasing us about his comeback, according to the Chronicle.

Apparently he'd be open to a return according to his friends.

Think there's a greater chance of us signing his mate in the Newcastle top than Ben Arfa.
