Rumours of a Newcastle bid…

I don't know how I'd feel about losing Brooks... On his day he is up there with the best of them, however, we've seen very few of 'his days' of late...

He's obviously a million miles away from the £40m fee we were allegedly looking for him a year or so ago, but I'd be gutted if we sold him on the cheap... He does, however, seem to be unhappy here and maybe he, like Surridge, just needs a new start somewhere to kick start his career...

I still think he could be a big player for us...
 
I'm also awaiting the talk of Matt Ritchie coming the other way plus cash to arrive... HAs there been a window in the last few seasons where Ritchie hasn't been linked with us...

Why do you think he's unhappy? Has there been something in the media?

Not basing this on anything other than just my own thoughts... Having seen most of his PL team mates move on to mostly bigger things, I'm just not convinced he really wants to still be around here... He's been plagued with injuries and poor form this last couple of seasons and is struggling to lift himself out of this rut... IMO.

Against Blackpool he seemed to spend most of the second half sulking after Anthony took the shot on and didn't pass to him, and when the entire side went over to Parker for a drinks pause, Brooks stayed firmly on the opposite side of the pitch, looking hacked off... Probably just me making something of nothing, I just think he's not happy here and could probably just do with a fresh start.

We've all speculated on a possible dysfunctional dressing room over the last 18 months... which with so many sales is understandable... Let's face it... he's only still here because of his injuries. A fit Brooks would have been sold last year probably...
