There are a lot of positions where Newcastle United need to strengthen this summer. The midfield has been weakened by the departures of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes. The forward line was never strong to begin with. Amid all this, one cannot overlook the need to add some quality in depth when it comes to […]
Newcastle United have had a tough time keeping hold of their best players in this summer transfer window. The Magpies finished 12th last season and have no European football on offer. And that has been a contributing factor to how many key players have left in this window, including captain Bruno Guimaraes, whose move to […]
This has been a summer filled with exits for Newcastle United so far. The club have seen so many of their key players leave. Fresh faces have been brought in as well, alongside a new manager in the form of Matthias Jaissle, after Eddie Howe left in the middle of pre-season. All this combined, you […]
Bruno Guimaraes’ exit has now been confirmed, bringing an end to the long-running saga. The Brazilian midfielder has joined Arsenal, as expected. Now, it is up to Newcastle United to find a replacement for not only their captain but arguably their best player as well. Of course, he is not the only quality player who […]
Newcastle United’s summer so far has been about departures, and big ones at that. On top of the players, Eddie Howe has left in the middle of pre-season as well. Matthias Jaissle has come in as his replacement. Jaissle is a good coach and he started off his reign with a win over Valencia. But […]
Matthias Jaissle began his reign as Newcastle United manager with a 2-1 win over Valencia. There were some positive signs for sure, even though the victory might have come against a 10-man opposition after Jose Gaya was sent off for a horror challenge on Anthony Elanga. Overall, there needs to be a recognition that Newcastle […]
Over the last two days, there has been a lot of talk about Newcastle United’s interest in former Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The Magpies have seen Bruno Guimaraes leave for Arsenal and will need to find a replacement. Of course, it is not just Guimaraes’ quality they need to replace but […]
One issue that Newcastle United have faced time and again this summer is not being able to convince players to join the club over others. We saw that with Victor Munoz, as he moved to Liverpool. That was repeated in the Johan Manzambi saga, when a deal was agreed with SC Freiburg but the Swiss […]
Newcastle United started off their Matthias Jaissle era tonight with a 2-1 win over a 10-man Valencia side. Of course, you rarely see red cards being dished out in pre-season friendlies. That being said, Jose Gaya’s challenge on Anthony Elanga most certainly deserved one. Fortunately, it looks like Elanga has avoided a serious injury. On […]
The Valencia vs Newcastle United game at the Mestalla did not seem like much of a friendly at times. But ultimately, Matthias Jaissle kicked off his time with the Magpies with a 2-1 win. It came against a 10-man Valencia side though. And that was because Jose Gaya was shown a straight red card for […]
Newcastle United have lost a lot with the departure of Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian’s move to Arsenal has now been officially confirmed. So, not only have the Magpies lost arguably their best player, but also their captain. That is two things they will need to replace this summer. Newcastle United will need to bring in […]
Newcastle United have been going through a period of transition this summer. Key players like club captain Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali have already left. The likes of Nick Pope, Joelinton and Joe Willock are expected to follow. Perhaps the biggest adjustment will be the change of managers. Eddie Howe decided to leave […]
