He'll either sign an improved contract with no clause or be on his way. Newcastle United will be enforcing a policy in which no stupid clauses will be present in contracts from now on.
I'm content with Ba leaving though and Tiote if the money is good and we scout another brilliant replacement like we did by replacing Nolan with Cabaye.
Linked with.
Jan Vertonghen (Pardew travelled to watch him) Unlikely now considering everyone is after him.
Gylfi Sigurdsson - Been linked with this guy for a while now.
Luuk De Jong - Been linked with this guy most of the season.
Pretty much confirmed for us are a Midfielder supposedly a friend of Cabaye's
A Centre-Back will be signed in the window and possibly a striker depending on if Ba goes or Best is moved on.

Ba has been playing wide left since cisse's arrival so can't be blamed for the goals drying up imo and again imo there's no way tiote is going to bring in twenty million even at todays vastly overinflated prices he's worth no more than twelve.
