Show me the money.

The long running transfer saga that is Bafetimbi Gomis, is taking yet another turn.

Possibly unwilling to break the current wage structure at St James and risking a queue of players standing outside the manager’s door with hands out, Newcastle are looking to capture, the seemingly reluctant player with a reported 2.5 million signing on fee.

To be follow by 370 grand a month.

Even that though may not be enough to tempt Gomis and Turkish sides Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are said to be interested, with the player favouring a move there.

If he would rather play in a Mickey mouse division, than the premier league, then good riddance, but after 18 months of transfer starvation, he could well be the third signing of the summer.
