Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew claims he has made a "final" bid for Adrian Mariappa but, bizarrely, the Watford Observer understands the offer has yet to be lodged with the Hornets.
Pardew told journalists in the North East this afternoon that "the ball was in Watford's court" after they made a final bid but we understand there has currently not been a fourth offer from the Magpies, who had three bids rejected last week.
We understand the last offer received by the Hornets was from Wigan, which was rejected, and that Arsenal and Swansea City have not bid for the 25-year-old, who has been Watford's stand-out performer this season.
