The Senegalese international is up for sale and is certainly not in Roeder's long term plans, but the Toon manager is sick of the waffling and has told the London club to "put up ... or shut up".
Faye and Nicky Butt are treading water and picking up massive wages, and Roeder wants to shift them as soon as possible. And news that Thomas Gravesen would love a move to the North-East has urged the manager to make room on the books for a player he admits is world class.
The Dane, 30, has often been linked with a move to Newcastle and was a regular target for Sir Bobby Robson when he was an Everton player.
Faye is available for £1m.
