What does Sam Allardyce want with Smoggy rejects Robert Huth and Chris Riggott when he has his own transfer targets in January?
Smogs Rejects In Exchange For Ameobi? Rubbish!
Boro manager Gareth Southgate wants to off-load some players, and St James' Park is not rubbish tip.
Germany's Huth was once a Newcastle target for Glenn Roeder, but he snubbed the Toon then, and he blew his chance. End of story.
He has had ankle surgery which has restricted his appearances this campaign, and I'm sure Big Sam will have "bigger fish to fry" this January.
Riggott has had a sniff this season.
According to Sam, Ameobi is not for sale. But don't read too much into that. If some club is willing to splash the cash, Shola will be on his way.
