ian1964 10,457 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Newcastle have agreed a fee with Blackburn for defender Grant Hanley, according to Sky sources. The two Championship clubs have been in negotiations for weeks over the Scotland international, with Rovers initially demanding £6m for the 24-year-old. But he will now travel to Tyneside for a medical after a fee of £5.5m was agreed between the two clubs. Hanley, who joined Blackburn's academy at the age of 16 and made 46 appearances last season, will become Rafa Benitez's sixth signing of the season as the Spaniard prepares his squad for life outside the Premier League. Newcastle have recruited Matz Sels, Jesus Gamez, Matt Ritchie, Issac Hayden and Dwight Gayle since their relegation at the end of last season. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/10506902/grant-hanley-set-for-newcastle-transfer-after-fee-agreed-with-blackburn 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that Brenda - on the prowl for a centre back, and with money to burn, we are told - might have been in for Hanley. After all, his pace would not embarrass the rest of the piggery defence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose change doesn't burn. And that's what he has in comparison to the prices for anything down there of any worth. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
