Christmas Tree 4001 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Newcastle United have made an enquiry for Swiss star Tranquillo Barnetta, skysports.com understands. The 25-year-old has been linked to the Premier League on a number of occasions in the past few years, and now Newcastle are looking closely at his situation. Barnetta, who has played over 50 times for his country, can play on either flank or behind a striker. Toon boss Alan Pardew is looking to add width to his squad, having sanctioned Wayne Routledge's return to Queens Park Rangers. Now Pardew is scouring Europe for options and one of his targets has emerged as Barnetta, who was also linked with Italian giants Juventuslast month and has 18 months left on his current deal at the BayArena. I hate it when they say that. Surely they could be a little more specific without blowing their under cover agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4001 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 However the evere reliable Himalayan Times, are reporting he's just being ruled out for several weeks with a knee injury. Cert then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 707 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He's been class for Switzerland when I've seen him. Left winger, I think. I view "SkySports understands" as marginally more reputable than NotW, but not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Barnetta has had several serious injuries in his career IIRC, looked promising a few years ago though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8919 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Barnetta has had several serious injuries in his career IIRC, looked promising a few years ago though Can't remember him having that many injuries. Not a bad player who can play on both flanks but he will be out for several weeks with knee ligament damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Unfortunately Skysports.com generally know fuck all. They have nothing to do with Sky Sports News. Different journos. Skysports.com used to be Planet Football, which was on the same sort of level that Goal.com is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gittes 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Not much in that one. Swiss Papers simply stating that there has been an enquiry regarding Barnetta's contract situation (at Leverkusen until 2012), while there's no intent to buy him in January because of his injury. Pardew has been in talks with him when he was West Ham boss IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
