Following Kevin Keegan’s recent comments about Sunday’s match winner Georginio Wijnaldum being “the best signing Mike Ashley has made as Newcastle chairman”, we started to mull over the Magpies’ transfer dealings since the Sports Direct Supremo took over at St James’ Park back in 2007. Under Ashley, Newcastle have become renowned for snapping up precocious […]
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Kenny Jackett has refused to rule out the possibility of Newcastle target Benik Afobe moving away from Molineux in the January transfer window. The Chronicle claim that Newcastle have been tracking the former Arsenal youngster for the past 18 months and, with Steve McClaren desperate to add firepower to his Magpies’ squad, […]
Newcastle United have received a welcome boost ahead of the hectic festive fixture list after head coach Steve McClaren revealed that injured trio Cheick Tiote, Rolando Aarons and Jamaal Lascelles are all nearing returns to action. Sunday’s clash with Mauricio Pochettino’s high-flying Spurs will come too early for the three Magpies’ stars, who are still […]
Newcastle United will reportedly look to bolster their defensive ranks by signing highly-rated New York Red Bulls’ left-back Kemar Lawrence in the January transfer window. The left-back slot has been a pressing concern for Newcastle head coach Steve McClaren over the first four months of the season, with Paul Dummett and Massadio Haidara struggling for […]
Newcastle United’s flying Dutchman Georginio Wijnaldum has thrown his support behind head coach Steve McClaren, claiming that the Englishman is “the best” man to turn the club’s fortunes around. McClaren came under intense scrutiny in the build-up to Sunday’s clash with Liverpool, after a series of undignified capitulations against Leicester City and Crystal Palace compounded […]
Newcastle United legend Kevin Keegan has heaped praise on the Magpies’ man of the moment Georginio Wijnaldum following the Dutchman’s heroics in Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Liverpool. Chances were at a premium in a hard-fought encounter until Wijnaldum took it upon himself to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and fire Newcastle to […]
Following Newcastle’s superb 2-0 victory over Liverpool, head coach Steve McClaren has admitted that his capricious side harbour one major flaw – a lack of belief. Sunday’s impassioned display against a bang in-form Liverpool side typified the Jekyll and Hyde nature of Newcastle’s performances so far this season, and it was a stark contrast from […]
Newcastle United head coach Steve McClaren insists that no-one within the Magpies’ camp is happy about the club’s current plight. Newcastle have mustered just two league wins from their opening 14 games this season – both of which came against newly promoted sides – whilst shipping 30 goals, the joint most alongside Bournemouth. Successive defeats […]
Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren has been handed a fresh injury blow ahead of this Sunday’s clash with high-flying Liverpool. Sky Sports report that centre back Mike Williamson – who was only recalled from a loan spell at Championship side Wolves earlier this week due to Jamaal Lascelles’ injury – has tweaked his hamstring in […]
Newcastle United have been handed a boost in their January pursuit of unsettled Tottenham Hotspur winger Andros Townsend. Townsend has found game time extremely hard to come by under Spurs’ boss Mauricio Pochettino this season and appears to have fallen well down the pecking order at White Hart Lane. The nimble winger has not started […]
Besieged Newcastle United head coach Steve McClaren is preparing to ring the changes when Liverpool arrive at St James’ Park this Sunday. There are plenty of fixtures between now and the opening of the January transfer window, and McClaren is acutely aware of the fact that Newcastle’s current starting XI have been well below par […]
Harry Redknapp has distanced himself from rumours linking him with a return to management with relegation-threatened Newcastle United. Redknapp has been out of work since resigning as QPR manager in February of this year, and reports over the weekend suggested that the vastly experienced 68-year-old could fill the breach if beleaguered Magpies’ head coach Steve […]
