Newcastle need a leader like him in their dressing room if they want to build a quality team for the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 34-year-old could also enjoy the opportunity to continue playing in the Premier League. At this stage of his career, it seems unlikely that he will get many opportunities at the highest level. It would make sense for him to continue in a new castle where he is valued as both a player and a leader.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Want more catchoffside coverage?
