As far as we know, there is no deal yet with Man City and Newcastle Utd. I think the irish press report yesterday was perhaps overenthusiastic about a deal being done, so we’ll have to wait till the 2nd of February to see if Shay remains at Newcastle or there is a bid that satisfies all parties, etc.

They write that Newcastle have to get players in and Shay might be the one to FINANCE the incoming players. Would Newcastle do that? I’ve no idea.
