Also Gael Bigirimana is another who arrived with a reputaion to be "the next big thing" and failed to improve under Alan Pardew, and Newcastle seem to want to cut their losses with.
Obertan has tumbled down the pecking order after showing very little in his first team performances,
Nottingham Forest have an interest in Obertan, although United have already tried once without success to get Bigirimana a loan move away from St James’ Park, where he is yet to feature in the
Premier League this season.
Coventry City would love to have him back, but the Sky Blues are on the verge of going under and couldn't afford a Mars Bar and five bob to pay his wages, and Newcastle want a significant contribution towards his wages to cover any deal.
