Newcastle plotting bargain move for 29-yr-old Premier League player
Newcastle United are thought to be interested in signing the West Bromwich Albion defender Kyle Bartley. The 29-year-old has one year left on his current contract and he might be available for a knockdown price in the summer. According to the Telegraph, Burnley are thought to be looking at the experienced centre back as well. Bartley has done well for Sam Allardyce in recent weeks and he could prove to be a quality squad option for Newcastle next season. The Magpies could certainly use more depth in their defence and Bartley has the experience to make an immediate impact. It will be interesting to see who ends up signing the 29-year-old. The Baggies are expected to be relegated from the Premier League this season and Bartley might look to move on in search of top-flight football. It remain...
‘He will leave this summer’ – Pundit reckons 30-yr-old will be on his way out of Newcastle
Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes that Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow will look to leave the club at the end of this season. The 30-year-old has dropped to the bench since the return of Martin Dubravka, and he will be keen to secure regular first-team football next term. “I think he was in with a serious shout of getting in the England squad before he got dropped,” Robinson told Football Insider. “It would have been between him and Sam Johnstone. Johnstone has been exceptional this season, but so has Karl Darlow. “His performances gave him a great opportunity of getting into Gareth Southgate’s plans, but Bruce dropped him after an indifferent performance at Manchester United. “It is always going to be difficult for Darlow with someone of Dubravka’s quality be...
‘Give us next season’s Championship fixtures’ – Some NUFC fans react to 26-yr-old’s injury blow
Newcastle United have been dealt a major injury blow with midfielder Isaac Hayden set to miss the rest of the 2020-21 season with a serious knee injury. The midfielder was stretchered off in the first half of the game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, and scans have shown that the injury is serious and he won’t be able to play again this season. However, the report on the club’s official website claims that Hayden will not require an operation and will begin his rehabilitation programme soon. The midfielder reacted to his injury blow on Twitter. Really disappointed to miss out on the rest of the campaign and not be able to play my part but will be supporting the lads and the staff as best I can.

Former Premier League star claims Steve Bruce is ‘well past his sell-by date’, hits out at Ashley
Former Premier League forward Stan Collymore has hit out at Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley and manager Steve Bruce for the way they have run things this season. The Magpies are currently two points adrift of the relegation zone, and there is a decent chance they could go down to the Championship at the end of the season. Ashley has often been criticised for his lack of investment and managerial choices. The Newcastle owner has decided to stick with Bruce despite the abysmal run of results, and that has not gone down well with Newcastle fans and Collymore. The team is clearly struggling under Bruce’s management, and he appears to be incapable of turning things around. Collymore has blasted the pair. “Steve Bruce and Mike Ashley are the worst double act in Premier League history,” he sai...
Newcastle players left surprised with recent reports regarding Steve Bruce’ future
Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce is under tremendous pressure because of his side’s recent run of form. Apparently, some of the first team players are looking to hold face to face talks with the club’s managing director Lee Charnley regarding the manager’s feature at the club. According to Football Insider, some of the players are in shock after the club decided to back Bruce despite the recent results. Apparently, club owner Mike Ashley is prepared to stick with Bruce until the end of the season as per Sky Sports. The Newcastle players expected Steve Bruce to be sacked after the defeat against Brighton. The Magpies were beaten by Brighton in their last game and they are currently two points clear of the drop zone. They are in desperate need after turn round if they are to be...
‘Should be nowhere near our starting 11’ – Some NUFC fans tear into 29-yr-old after Brighton defeat
Newcastle United crashed to a 3-0 defeat against Brighton in the Premier League last night. Steve Bruce’s side came into the game needing a win but they failed to turn up. The Magpies were comprehensively beaten and the fans will be thoroughly disappointed with the lack of desire and fight shown by the players. There were several disappointing performances across the pitch but Jonjo Shelvey in particular was abysmal for the visitors. The 29-year-old Newcastle midfielder failed to create any meaningful chances for his side and he kept losing the ball and that put his teammates under pressure. Furthermore, his lack of work-rate hurt Newcastle defensively and the midfielder simply seemed disinterested throughout the 90 minutes. Despite his immense ability, Shelvey has failed to produce consis...
Predicted Newcastle XI vs Brighton: Steve Bruce to make one change, 26-yr-old to start
Newcastle United take on Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League tomorrow, and the Magpies are under pressure to pick up all three points. Steve Bruce’s team have failed to win their last five league matches and are in danger of losing their top-flight status. The Magpies have failed to score in six of their last eight away league games and are missing key attackers like Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin for this fixture. The visitors will need a bit of luck the score against a well-organised Brighton defence, especially without their top forwards. Brighton have an impressive record against Newcastle, keeping a clean sheet in six of their last seven matches against the Magpies in all competitions. The home side will be hoping for another shut-out given how poor Newcastle have be...
Premier League trio and La Liga club chasing Liverpool man
Liverpool striker Divock Origi has been linked to several different clubs by Spanish outlet El Gol Digital. Origi came to Liverpool in the summer transfer window of 2014 from Lille, off the back of an impressive display as a substitute for Belgium at the World Cup. Since then, he has made 157 appearances for the Reds in all competitions, scoring 35 goals – most of them off the bench. The height of his career came during the 2018/19 season when he made himself an unlikely hero at Anfield. He scored several important goals throughout the campaign, including a last gasp winner in the Merseyside derby against Everton, a brace in the Champions League second leg comeback against Barcelona, and the second in a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final. Origi nets a scrappy late...
Newcastle receive injury boost, 27-yr-old’s international teammate drops positive update
Newcastle United midfielder Miguel Almiron is currently sidelined with a knee injury, but his international teammate Anthony Silva has now shared a positive update on the 27-year-old’s progress. Apparently, Almiron’s injury is not as bad as first feared, and the Paraguayan may be able to return to action after the international break. Silva said (via Chronicle): “I spoke with Miguel, and it is not as much as they say about his injury. He told me that he is fine.” Newcastle are in desperate need of attacking quality, and the likes of Almiron and Callum Wilson returning to the starting line-up would be a massive boost for Steve Bruce. The Magpies are battling for their survival in the Premier League, and the latest update on Almiron’s injury will certainly delight the fans. He has been ...
‘I have got a game in mind’ – 29-yr-old Newcastle star provides positive update on his injury
Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury. The striker picked up the injury against Southampton last month, and he was expected to be ruled out for six to eight weeks. However, the player returned to the club’s training ground on Tuesday and has begun working on the grass again. It could be that the 29-year-old is ahead of schedule, and his return would be a major boost for the Magpies and their fans. Newcastle are currently just one point clear of the drop zone and in desperate need of a quality goalscorer. Steve Bruce’s side have suffered in attack ever since the injury to Wilson, and now the likes of Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin are also injured. Wilson has made quite an impact since his move from Bournemouth, scoring 10 goals this s...

‘He cares’, ‘Excellent’: Some Newcastle United fans praise 27-year-old after Aston Villa draw
A selection of Newcastle United fans heaped praise on Jamaal Lascelles following his stoppage time equaliser against Aston Villa in the Premier League. The Magpies looked on course to register a goalless draw last night before the game became alive in the last five minutes when the Villans broke the deadlock. Ollie Watkins’ header was unfortunately deflected into the back of the net off the post by Ciaran Clark, who had a solid game until then. Martin Dubravka thereafter came up with a couple of crucial saves in stoppage time for the Magpies before Lascelles salvaged a point. Lascelles netted the equaliser with a powerful header from a Jacob Murphy cross with seconds left on the clock. This pleased a number of the club’s faithful and here are few reactions on Twitter. Lascelles! My captain...
