Transfer gossip: Rafa Benitez asked to sign Erik Pieters
The Newcastle Chronicle says Rafa Benitez is in a foul mood today after not getting what he wants through this transfer window.
That apparently includes a late move for Stoke left-back Erik Pieters.
As deadline day loomed Benitez asked to sign two players at cut-price in Ragnar Klavan of Liverpool and an old target in Erik Pieters of Stoke City, but again hit a brick wall according to sources close to the deals in Holland and Estonia
This is strange if true

We already have a left back problem, it would be an even bigger problem without him.
Glad it didn't happen.

The Newcastle board told Benitez that Pieters didn't 'fit their profile'.

Rafa??? Best manager on the planet, thinks Pieter,s is good. He must be wrong, Stoke fans on here, all 10 of them, thinks he is shit. One even wants to play a right back in his position to strengthen the defense, pmfsl.

Does he want Pieters for his world class deliveries into the penalty box?  |

Despite everything that is said about him on here, Pieters is a decent left back and I'm glad he is a Stokie.

Surprised it hasn't happened, to be honest. From the Guardian: 2h ago 13:08 Louise Taylor Rafa Benitez’s mood is said to be darkening by the minute after he has been thwarted in repeated attempts to reinforce Newcastle’s squad. A bad moment came when Swansea rejected a bid for Federico Fernandez, apparently well below their £10m validation. Benitez, of course, worked with the Argentinian centre half at Napoli. Better news is that the deal could still be resurrected and a compromise reached but Newcastle’s manager is resigned to making do without the No 10/extra forward he craved and has also been frustrated in attempts to sign cut price left-back cover for Paul Dummett. He wanted Stoke left-back Erik Pieters, among others, but the St James’ Park board told him Pieters and the other candidates did not fit their “profile”. Newcastle like to sign players aged 26 and under with decent sell-on potential. Could be an interesting press conference tomorrow. |

What a stupid idea. They obviously haven’t got a clue up there in the North-East. They need to see how it’s done by Scholes and Cartwright. Idiots. |
