Konchesky: Toon Target or Not?

Is Konchesky a target for Newcastle? He was a £3M target yesterday, but things seem to have changed overnight....

Yesterday, a St James' Park insider reportedly said: "Now that Robbie Elliott has been transfer listed, Olivier Bernard is our only senior left-back at the club and the gaffer wants another option in that position.

"Konchesky fits the bill. He's the right age and we believe we can get him for the right price."

We thought that Newcastle United were ready to bid £3M for the Charlton fullback, but things have changed. A club insider told The Journal today: "We have absolutely no interest in Konchesky."
