Baines to Newcastle makes sense, and is probably the least surprising transfer rumour to date. Scharner to Villa also makes a lot of sense. He and McCann could fight for the holding midfield role while Scharner would also give cover to a young (Ridgewell, Cahill) and oft-injured (Laursen) Villa back-line.Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce wants to sign Wigan full-back Leighton Baines - and Paul Scharner could also leave the JJB Stadium.According to the Manchester Evening News, Allardyce wants to sign the England Under-21 left-back as the first step towards rebuilding a backline that has leaked goals.
Allardyce's predecessor at St James' Park, Glenn Roeder, also tried to sign Baines but the lure of some more stability in the North-East could tempt the full-back to leave The JJB.
...Latics midfielder Scharner has been linked with a move, with Everton and Aston Villa possible destinations.
It's funny (not ha-ha though)... Wigan are going to lose players as if they were relegated, though they weren't. Between them and Fulham, I'm thinking 2 of 3 promoted sides will feel pretty confident about retaining their Premiership status next season.
