Newcastle United boss Joe Kinnear has revealed he has a shopping list for the January market.

He told the Evening Chronicle: "I will be taking in as many of those international matches as I can, so that I will have a hit list of players if I am still here in January.

"I have been told I am here until the club is sold and, while our managing director Derek Llambias has informed me there are eight interested parties, there is nothing definite.

"Obviously if the club is sold I am here for the short term, but if it is longer I have to be prepared - and I will be."
