Shola Transfer K.O.

Shola Ameobi transfer to Portman Road suffered a big disruption as he failed a medical due to a hamstring injury which has kept him out since the Mallorca Cup.

A big blow for the Player who has seem to have limited oppurtunities in Tyneside and look set to resurrect his first team football at the Championship club.

Ipswich Town boss, Jim Magilton, quoted that he feared signing a player that carries an injury during his medical. As most of the east anglian fans remember, their summer signing last season, Shefki Kuqi, had injured in his first match for the club after one match due to the same injury.

With this injury, it looks like the surplus striker is set to stay on the Magpies camp till January or even next summer when his contract expires.

Ameobi Movin Closer To Baggies

Newcastle Utd striker Shola Ameobi has been on intense speculation pertaining his future on Tyneside.

I have to admit, the lad's days on the Magpies are numbered and the big lad has been linked with numerous clubs like Norwich City, Ipswich Town, Hull City and the latest being Premiership newcomers West Brom.

WBA boos, Tony Mowbray, has spent a total of £5.8 million in striking reinforcements already and is ready to splash the cash again on striker Ameobi.

Ameobi who insisted that he will only move on another Premiership side can foresee that the Hawtorns will be a likely destination.

Though the sum of £2.5 million is set to be tabled on the striker is not what Newcastle United would want, I personally believed Shola Ameobi should move on to revitalize his career and get more first team action on his belt.

He's currently under the pecking order behind Micheal Owen, Obafemi Martins, Mark Viduka and young Andy Caroll in the striking role.

Time to move on bro ... and I think he is not really missed by the majority of the Toon Army.
