Loaning him back would be intelligent as the acquisition of the signature is the vital component. A more daring or tact manager would integrate him spread thinly through out all competitions yet we cannot expect that from Faildew.

I like Newcastle's scouting as evidenced by the French Connection yet it must scope beyond just France and England. Pardew having a limited perception and rarely scouting himself doesn't help.

As convoluted as the Newcastle project may be, signings like these lay the footwork for the future.

Tenerife have invested much in the development of Ayoze. Hopefully he doesn't out like a Iago Falque, the Galician winger of talent who just could not fit in Spurs or Juve.

He can't be better than Aspas, and Aspas is shit who probably wouldn't get into Newcastle's side.

Yeah he would lol.

Toulouse right-back Serge Aurier admits he would find it hard to turn down a summer move to Arsenal.

Reports have suggested Aurier is being lined up as a possible replacement for Bacary Sagna, should he decide not to sign a fresh deal at the Emirates.

The Ivory Coast player is hoping for a move to the Premier League and believes the FA Cup winners would be an attractive option.

"It is true that I would be a bit disappointed to stay in Toulouse after a season like this one. I want to try something else," said Aurier.

"I have never prioritised a club in England as even the promoted clubs are respectable, so I would take the opportunity for the one that will show the most interest in me, that will give me the most game time.

"After that, you can't really say no to Arsenal.

"It is a club with history, with a French manager, who has welcomed many France players. Plus, Arsenal are always thereabouts when it comes to trophies and a club that plays in the Champions League."

The Gunners ended their nine-year trophy drought last weekend as Aaron Ramsey's extra-time strike sealed a 3-2 win over Hull at Wembley.

Manager Arsene Wenger is expected to extend his lengthy stay at the club and chairman Sir Chips Keswick is confident he will deliver more trophies.

"I hope he will continue and there will be successes to come in the very near future," he told the club's official website. "We have added one trophy, and we want more.

"Anybody who does a job like that, for as long as he has, deserves every success that comes his way. He did it and I have never seen a man more delighted."

Lionel Messi is eager to continue his career with Barcelona but admits that he would be forced to "look for a solution" if he no longer feels "affection" at the club.

The 26-year-old has endured a frustrating campaign at Camp Nou in 2013-14, with his own injury problems compounded by Barca's failure to land a trophy aside from the Spanish Supercopa at the start of the season.

Messi's future has long been the subject of speculation as talks over a new contract dragged on throughout much of the campaign but the Barca star signed his new deal on Monday.

However, while the Argentine insists that his desire is to stay with the club he joined as a youngster, he suggested that he could consider his options should attitudes towards him change in Catalunya.

"I've always said I'm very happy to stay at my home," he posted on his official Weibo account. "This year hasn't gone as expected and it wasn't one of my best but I'm convinced that next year will be different, as it will be for the team.

"It's the people at Barcelona who decide what to do with my future but my choice is to stay, as I still feel the same affection from them, but if that isn't the case I'll look for a solution.

Not better than Remy, Gouffran, Cisse or Ben Arfa. Not even better than De Jong. But if you don't count Remy and Luuk since they'll go back, then I see why you say that.

"We have almost everything sorted out with West Ham, they asked him not to play against San Lorenzo but he wanted to play."
