' I wo n't be able to forgive the way I 've been treated , no , ' he said in an interview with Canal+ . ' I do n't think it was the right time nor the circumstances and I think at times like that , you should look after the individual , the player . ' I was operated on in Argentina . They removed the testicle . The post-surgery studies were good and well , I went back to England after being discharged . ' I returned mid-November ( 2013 ) and at the beginning to mid-December the manager said I should find myself another club , that it was best .

'It is clear that they look after the club 's interests , but I think in a situation like that , you need to save ( consider ) other things , even more as I had been playing for five years before having this problem . I was always playing . 'And I never asked for anything . I paid for it [ medical treatment ] because , for me , the most important thing was my health . ' Gutierrez is out of contract in the summer and it is thought he will leave after seven years at St James ' Park . However , the winger admits he would prefer to stay for at least one more season . ' I know the situation here ( at Newcastle ) is n't the easiest but I 'm going to fight to remain here . Time will tell what I can do and it 's in my control to leave everything , to give the best of me and see how far I can get , ' he said . Gutierrez has returned to Newcastle and hopes to stay despite admitting he can never forgive them .

'Without doubt one , after a problem like I had , sees things from a different perspective and the order of priorities changes . 'But it 's also difficult to get other people to understand because for everyone their own troubles are more important , are n't they ? ' I think the most important thing is health . Health and happiness . Sometimes we get into a lot of trouble for things that really are n't significant . '
