Pardo, who was playing for Universidad de Chile at the time, says that he is aware that Sir Bobby is still interested but he wants to concentrate on playing for the Dutch team.

"I've known about the link with Newcastle," he said. "But my mind is only on Feyenoord. They opened the doors in Europe and now I want to win things with them."

Pardo didn’t particularly impress me at St James’ earlier in the season so I don’t think his non-arrival is a great loss. He did score the particularly lucky deflected winner though!
