While it must be noted that the proverbial transfer rumour mill is always likely to head into overdrive as the New Year sales fast approach, Newcastle United are linked with some potentially blockbuster moves.

Perhaps ironically, just as Jonjo Shelvey faces a potential ban, leaving a gaping hole in the Toon’s midfield, the club have been touted as a potential landing spot for two former England internationals.

Both Michael Carrick and Steven Gerrard have been suggested as potential targets for the Magpies of late as Rafa Benitez looks to bring some further midfield reinforcement to Tyneside.

But, who would you prefer?

Gerrard is leaving LA Galaxy after seeing out the autumn of his career in the sun and it’s unclear as to whether or not he can still perform at the highest level.

Carrick, meanwhile, is still playing for Manchester United (though rather infrequently) and an emotional move to his boyhood heroes would surely be a fitting end to his trophy-laden career.

We believe the latter would be more of more use to Benitez, due to the fact he’s still operating in the Premier League and his affection for the Mags would better suit him to cover duty.

As amazing as it would be to see Gerrard wearing black and white, to us, the move just doesn’t make much sense.

With that being said, who would you prefer?
