"I hope they can get something sorted out soon in that area.
"It doesn't surprise me so much that Newcastle are interested in Leighton Baines - he would have been the perfect solution for me, although they should have gone in for him earlier.
"I think the team can do well this season, but they must go into it with cover.
"You can be as brutal as you like when it comes to Babayaro (pictured) - he has been a huge disappointment.
"He is still here, of course, but he has hardly covered himself in glory at Newcastle, and he could have been a big success given what we saw of him at Chelsea.
"There should be no more stop-gaps in this area like last season, and I am sure there are plenty options out there, so hopefully we can see that sorted soon.
"It would be great to see Babayaro prove he can be a top player, but for now we have to wait and see."
