All Change Newcastle, Spurs, Juventus Udinese

Right now try and follow this needlessly complicated transfer scheme that I am lifting from between three of Italy’s dailies. Scenario one: Juventus eventually sign their man in Jankulovski, Udinese end off with a player plus cash for this undoubtedly talented Left Back; personally this would have been favourite scenario in the summer, now I am less than convinced.

Scenario two: Udinese sell Jankulovski to Spurs which seams to be Udinese’s choice of scenario, and use some of the cash to bring Newcastle’s Oliver Bernard in to replace him, this would be on a free in the summer, and they would use the cash from the sale of Jankulovski to fund the wages to Bernard and another player. This is about the only new move in this.

Bernard has also allegedly been handed or will be offered anyway a pre-contract by Paris St Germaine, which the Corrie della Sera dismisses as unlikely to be taken up.

Scenario three: Jankulovski and Bernard change clubs in January, literally, Jankulovski to Newcastle Bernard plus some cash to Udinese. (Again this is another new one of this morning and currently being touted as least likely of the lot).

Scenario four: Bernard goes to Juventus (who are apparently keen should they miss out on Jankulovski) Tudor goes to Newcastle, Jankulovski goes to Spurs, I go to the pub.

And Finally Scenario five: Bernard stays at Newcastle, Jankulovski goes to Juventus, and Tudor leaves Juventus and takes up residence on Tyneside.

As complicated as all this is, it does seam that most of them at this moment in time are likely in one shape or form.

But even from the land that gave us real Politick this seams needlessly complicated.

My personal two cents, I think Juventus as soon as they stop trying to mess Udinese around will sign Jankulovski, Tudor I think will end off at Newcastle, Bernard I am not sure about at all, and I will go to the pub.
