Phil Bardsley

Full story: Sunday Express

What’s the story? Blimey. Newcastle looking in to their rivals’ dustbin?Does it make sense? Maybe. They’ve lost Danny Simpson so could do with another right back in the squad.Is the price right? Di Canio wants Bardsley out of the club so would probably take £1m.Will it happen? 6/10 – It’d fill a need for both clubs but it’s not a path often trodden.
