Newcastle have offered him a new one-year contract but the 32-year-old Frenchman, a free transfer from Manchester City last summer, has turned it down.Sibierski's agent, Willie McKay: "Antoine has been offered a one-year deal, but he wants two years. His wife and family are still based in Manchester, and it would be a big upheaval to move and change schools for one year.
"At the moment, he has been offered one year and he is looking elsewhere.
If he were to be offered two years, his preference is to sign for Newcastle.
At this stage of his career, he feels he still has two or three years at the highest level, so if they came up with a two-year deal, he would sign it gladly."
If Sibierski can get Premiership champions Manchester United or the club who bombed him out, Manchester City, to sign him, I'm sure his problems will be over.
But somehow ... I cannot see it.
