The only reason why I can't get that excited for Doumbia is he's here for 5 months regardless, stay up & we won't buy a 28 year old

Newcastle United do have a permanent clause inserted into the loan deal for Seydou Doumbia, reported the Chronicle.
He is the oldest player to sign for the club since striker Shefki Kuqi arrived on a free transfer, but some fans fear owner Mike Ashley won’t sanction the deal in the summer – even if Doumbia does well.
