Demba Ba could move on - and it has been suggested Liverpool could do a swap deal for Andy Carroll.
But, if our poll is anything to go by, Toon fans are happy with what they've got.

Ba only joined the Magpies last summer, but the Senegal international has a buy-out clause in his contract which can be activated until the end of July, so the next week and a half is a crucial period for both him and the club.
But Ba has repeatedly stated that fans should ignore reports about a possible exit, and Pardew has no doubts about his commitment to Newcastle.
Alan Pardew: "They have never been anything other if you speak to Demba.
"He's always had the same feeling for the club. I think he understands that the fans love him here.
"He wants to repay that. By the same token we all have to make sure that everybody is happy here."
