The Nigerian striker, Shola Ameobi, returns from his honeymoon this week, and we expect him to leave the only club he has ever played for, very shortly.
Shola Ameobi – West Brom are latest favorites to sign him
Shola has had a rough time with injuries over the last couple of seasons, mainly with his hip, and first-team opportunities have been limited as a result of this.
His hip is now OK after a successful operation last October at the famed Steadman-Hawkins clinic in Denver.
He played just 6 times last season for the Magpies, and found that he had dropped way down in the pecking order behind Mark Viduka, Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins who occupied the starting striker spots for most of last season.
And even 19 year-old England Under-19 international striker, Andy Carroll, looked like he was overtaking Shola towards the end of the season.
There have been multiple clubs interested in Shola, with interest from Stoke, Ipswich, Norwich and Hull City.
But West Brom manager Tony Mowbray looks like he is set to capture Ameobi, having already signed Luke Moore from Aston Villa and Roman Bednar from Hearts this summer.
The fee quoted in the reports is a low £2.5M, but we are hoping that Newcastle can get £4M for the player, who has made over 160 appearances for Newcastle United and 20 appearances for the England Under-21 side.
Whoever is successful in getting Shola, we expect a deal to be completed before the end of this week.

Comment #42@ANON, you have proved by your words in your comments that you have shit crack and you cant hit back at comments that insult you.
I have told you what wor lass looks like and im truthful in my discription of her.
You sit in your hovel with your micro chips and blue pop, getting mammy to wipe your face (and your arse), pretending to be a grown up on the internet with bad crack.
Why not do something constructive and go into the Bridges and raid the bins for your 7 siblings and your furry faced mother so they wont go hungry the neet.
And stop comparing my sexy wife to your huge greasy mother, she is in a completely different league.
Now im off to give wor lass some quality time in the bedroom she will never forget!
And dont bother posting back with your poor crack, you are well and truly BEATEN in this debate you sad little tramp 😉

Comment #44Ronaldeano, if you read your post to moi, you will see that you have just about copied everything i said to you earlier, and my ‘CRAIK’ (the correct spelling, not as in the stuff YOU Smoke charva boy)stinks??
Oh dear, you sad little man your in denial….
You seem to use all the terms used by 15 year old charvas, and everyone can see through you.
Anyway, bore me no more boy, and go and play with your whales teets, in the back of your souped up x reg corsa, but lay the seats flat in case she cant fit in 😉
The terminology you use and the fact that you cannot spell hints that your favourite designer is Tommy Burberry, and you frequent such wonderful establishments as the pig and whistle!!
I will steer well clear of you as not only may you be carrying STD’s caught from one of the burberry adhorned whales you hang about with but you may also be carrying a chiv…..its about your stamp!!
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
