Newcastle Linked With Sporting Lisbon Star
By Chris Wright
Reports circling over the past few days have been linking Newcastle with a January move for Sporting Lisbon playmaker Matias Fernandez who, on his day, is a little bit sh*t-hot.
However, the player’s agent Alejandro Santiesteban has told the Portuguese media that he is yet to hear from representatives of the Toon regarding the 24-year-old Chile international:
“I’m not aware of the reported interest in Matias from Newcastle, nobody has got in touch with me so I think it must be a rumour.
If a team is really interested in a player and has to pay a transfer fee, then they have to get in touch with me and the club. That hasn’t happened.”
‘Matigol’ is currently under contract at Sporting until 2014, and it is thought that Newcastle would have to pay anywhere between £14-20 million to secure his services on a permanent basis – so a loan deal may be in the offing.

I was getting excited until I read 14-20 million, I don’t think we could flog our whole team for that!
They’ve surely got to be looking at a loan deal, unless there’s a vault full of gold bullion hidden deep beneath St James Park that no-one’s been told about!
You know that pensioner whose husband has binned her winning ticket. Well I don’t know if you know that Mike Ashleys brother Bash, is a bin man round where she lives. 2 + 2 = ?
Considering the price tag, I’d say that this is someone having fun with the media. I’d be delighted if proven wrong though!
he’s shite, fact. as a sporting season ticket holder, id get rid of him any day
