‘Would be an unreal buy’ – Some Newcastle fans react after being linked with 22-yr-old PL attacker
Newcastle have been linked with a move for Todd Cantwell. The attacking midfielder has been one of Norwich’s bright sparks this season and he deserves to stay in the Premier League next season. Norwich will go down to the Championship this summer and the likes of Cantwell should look to move on. A move to Newcastle could be the ideal next step in his development. As per Daily Mail, Leicester City are keen on the player as well. Manchester City are thought to be long-term admirers of the player. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can convince him to join them. Cantwell needs to join a club where he can play regular first-team football. At City, he will have the likes of Sterling, Mahrez ahead of him in the pecking order. The 22-year-old has six goals in the Premier League this seaso...
BeIN Sports man explains why announcement day for Newcastle takeover has changed
BeIN Sports’ Senior Football Anchor Richard Keys claimed on Monday that he was expecting the Newcastle United takeover to happen today. The former Sky Sports presenter said the British Government wants it to happen, and he stressed that Saudi Arabia will also have to make some serious moves to settle their ‘rights’ dispute with Qatar. That hasn’t happened, though, with Saudi permanently cancelling the license of beIN Sports in their kingdom and fining them £2 million on Tuesday. KSA accused the Qatari broadcaster of abusing their dominant position through several monopolistic practices, and their move has definitely dealt a blow on the takeover. No announcement is expected from the Premier League today, and Keys took to Twitter to explain why that won’t be happening: Events this week are t...
Report: Tottenham and Newcastle linked with a move for £27m-rated midfield powerhouse
Leicester City are thought to be keen on signing the Roma defensive midfielder Amadou Diawara this summer. As per reports (h/t Leicester Mercury), Tottenham and Newcastle are keen on the player as well. Diawara is rated at £27m and it will be interesting to see if any of the Premier League clubs submit an offer for him when the transfer window opens. Tottenham and Newcastle could certainly use a player like Diawara next year. Mourinho needs to add defensive cover and presence to his midfield and the Roma ace would be ideal alongside Ndombele. As for Newcastle, they need a quality defensive midfielder as well and Diawara could be a good addition alongside Hayden and Shelvey. Leicester already have a quality defensive midfielder in Ndidi and it will be interesting to see how they accomm...
Report: Newcastle United want to sign a 32-year-old this summer
Newcastle United and Burnley are interested in signing Chris Basham from Sheffield United in the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Mail. Basham is out of contract at the Blades at the end of next season, and Premier League rivals Newcastle and Burnley are interested in making a move for the 32-year-old central defender, according to the report. The Englishman, who can also operate as a defensive midfielder, was actually at the Magpies as a youngster before he was released. Stats According to WhoScored, Basham has made 36 appearances in the Premier League for United so far this season, providing one assist in the process. The defender made 39 starts and two substitute appearances in the Championship for the Blades during the 2018-19 campaign, scoring four goals and providing on...
‘Atrocious’, ‘Terrible’ – Some Newcastle fans tear into 28-yr-old after his display against Spurs
Newcastle crashed to a 3-1 defeat against Tottenham in the Premier League earlier. Goals from Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane secured the three points for Jose Mourinho’s side. Matt Ritchie scored the only goal of the game for Newcastle. Steve Bruce’s side have now lost three league games in a row and they will be thoroughly disappointed with their performance against a struggling Tottenham side. Newcastle could have put the Londoners under pressure here but they were lacking in urgency and focus. The fans were not too happy with the performance from the players today and Fabian Schar, in particular, was quite mediocre for the Magpies. The 28-year-old Swiss defender has been poor in the recent games and his performance has attracted a lot of criticism once again. He was at fault for one of th...
‘They can be dangerous’ – Mourinho singles out five Newcastle players ahead of Spurs’ clash
Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur at St. James’ Park later today, and Spurs boss Jose Mourinho will hope to finally get his first Premier League win at the ground. The Portuguese has only won once at SJP, and it came during a Cup game during his first stint as Chelsea boss. Tottenham need three points at Newcastle’s expense to boost their chances of playing in Europe next term, but Mourinho is wary of the Magpies attack. Steve Bruce’s side have been impressive since Premier League action resumed last month, scoring 11 goals in six games. They have improved significantly in the final third, and Mourinho is aware that the quintet of Andy Carroll, Joelinton, Dwight Gayle, Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin have the quality to hurt Tottenham. “They play well, they have different ways...
‘Next up, deal is agreed!’: Many NUFC fans react as Saudi telecom look to buy out PL Tv deal
The last 24 hours have been a rollercoaster ride in the Newcastle United takeover saga, and not for the first time, it leaves the situation with endless possibilities. Richard Keys, the Tv Presenter for BeInSports, made a huge claim on Monday that the Premier League will give their nod to the Newcastle takeover within this week. We all know that the issue of piracy is the major stumbling block for the takeover to go through. BeIN SPORTS are the official partner of the Premier League and they are losing wealth following an unprecedented scale of piracy via satellite TV beoutQ. Craig Hope of The Daily Mail tweeted yesterday that the Premier League are expected to deliver the verdict in favour of the potential Newcastle owners shortly. But then the takeover saga has taken a complete twist aft...
Report claims the potential outcome of NUFC takeover after the BeIn ban in KSA
The Newcastle United takeover saga has taken an unexpected twist in the last 24 hours after the Saudi Arabian government took the decision to permanently ban the Premier League’s Qatar-based Middle East broadcast partner BeinSports from operating in the kingdom. As we all know, the issue of piracy is the major factor being the takeover process being delayed, and still it is everyone’s guess what the outcome will be. The potential owners – A Saudi-led consortium (PIF), Amanda Staveley and Reuben Brothers – are looking to buy Newcastle from Mike Ashley for £300m, and a part-payment has already been made in advance. However, the Premier League has taken 16 weeks to study the deal, and yet they couldn’t come to a conclusion. Just when it was thought that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund w...
Report: Spurs dealt huge blow with midfielder injured & unlikely to face Newcastle
Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt another injury blow ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Newcastle United with midfielder Tanguy Ndombele likely to miss out on the trip. The France international picked up an injury in training and is a doubt for the crucial game. Jose Mourinho says Tanguy Ndombele has picked up an injury in training and is unlikely to be fit for the trip to Newcastle #THFC #COYS — Jonathan Veal (@jonathandveal83) July 14, 2020 Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has never won a league game at St. James’ Park, and having one of his midfielders unavailable for the clash is a huge blow. Dele Alli is also a doubt after missing the games against Everton, Bournemouth and Arsenal due to a hamstring injury, while right-back Serge Aurier isn’t in the right frame of mind to play after losing his brot...
Journalist claims Saudi have done exact opposite of what must be done to close NUFC deal
Saudi Arabia have permanently cancelled the licence of beIN Sports in their kingdom and fined them £2 million after accusing them of abusing their dominant position through several monopolistic practices. The Qatari broadcaster has been barred from broadcasting in the KSA since June 2017, and that made them file a complaint with the World Trade Organization in 2018. Qatar also accused Saudi of refusing to take action against alleged piracy of beIN Sports’ content by pirate satellite TV beoutQ. The conflict between both countries has hindered the Premier League from approving the £300 million takeover of Newcastle United by the Public Investment Fund, and KSA’s latest move has further complicated things. The Athletic’s investigations reporter Matt Slater, BBC’s Dan Roan and Daily Mail’s Cra...
‘Announcement is close’: Reliable journalist delivers latest Newcastle takeover update
For the past three months, there have been several instances where it felt like the Newcastle United takeover was close to completion. However, that hasn’t happened, and the saga has dragged on for months. The Premier League chief Richard Masters said last month that they will come to a decision shortly, but it hasn’t happened yet. However, according to the Daily Mail journalist, Craig Hope, the takeover will be signed off soon. He has claimed on Twitter that the ‘announcement is close’ and that the verdict will go in favour of the potential Newcastle owners. Also within here (before it’s relayed elsewhere) there is fresh belief takeover will be signed off soon (yes, I’ve seen Richard Keys post). But sources say info out of PL is that announcement is close. Expectation is it wi...
Report: Newcastle offered the chance to sign £142 million star Arsenal want
According to Goal.com, Barcelona have offered Brazilian star Philippe Coutinho to Arsenal and Newcastle United as they look to take his huge salary off their wage bill. The midfielder joined the Spanish giants for £142 million from Liverpool in January 2018 but has failed to impress and is currently on a season-long loan with Bayern Munich. Newcastle have been heavily linked with Coutinho in recent months, and Barcelona reckon a chance to return to the Premier League would excite him. They need funds that will allow them land Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez this summer, but they know that their asking price and his wages could deter suitors. Barca may be willing to sanction another loan exit, and there is no doubt that the 28-year-old will hugely improve the Magpies. The St....
