We have to make way to bring somebody in so we can never say never. It’s the same with anyone in the squad but it would take a hell of an offer.” Ritchie has been linked with a move away from the club after falling down the pecking order.

Predicted Newcastle XI v Leeds: Bruce to make two changes, 23-yr-old to start
Newcastle United host Leeds United in the Premier League later tonight and the Magpies will be hoping to get back to winning ways. Steve Bruce’s side are winless in their last eight league games and they have lost six of those.

‘Hopeless’, ‘Joke of a player’ – Some Newcastle fans tear into 28-yr-old after Villa defeat
Newcastle United put in a disappointing display against Aston Villa in the Premier League last night. Steve Bruce’s side were beaten 2-0 but the manner in which they lost the game will worry the fans. The Magpies crashed to their fifth straight defeat in all competitions and the fans will be thoroughly disappointed with some of the performances against Villa. The home side comfortably outplayed them, and most of the Newcastle players simply failed to show up. Summer signing Jeff Hendrick produced an abysmal display for the away side. Some Newcastle fans heavily criticised the midfielder on social media after the game. The former Burnley midfielder kept giving the ball away and he lacked the desire to work hard and press the opposition players. When Hendrick was signed, the fans expected a ...
Jordan Henderson: Liverpool were the ‘better team’ against Manchester United
Jordan Henderson felt Liverpool were the “better team” against Manchester United, but has admitted that his side have allowed their standards to slip in recent weeks. Liverpool welcomed United to Anfield on Sunday knowing that they could return to the top of the Premier League standings with a victory. However, confidence within the Reds’ camp wasn’t at its highest point after uninspired draws against West Brom and Newcastle and a dismal defeat away at Southampton, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all struggling for form in the final third. Unfortunately, the talismanic front three were quiet once again as Jurgen Klopp saw his team struggle to break down a well organised United outfit in a 0-0 draw. Liverpool had No.1 goalkeeper Alisson to thank for keeping them in the ga...
Report: Newcastle make enquiry for 28-yr-old, former PL player will cost €5-7m
Newcastle United are thought to be keen on signing the Monaco defender Djibril Sidibe. The 28-year-old joined Everton on loan in 2019 and he managed to impress with the Toffees. According to Footmercato, Everton tried to sign the defender for this season as well but Monaco were not keen on another loan deal. The French outfit value the player between €5 to 7 million and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle United are ready to pay the asking price. The defender has a contract with the French club until the summer of 2022 and Monaco will be keen on selling him as soon as possible. His value will continue to plummet with time and the French outfit need to find a buyer soon. Sidibe could prove to be a quality addition to the Newcastle United defence and he could be an upgrade on DeAndre ...
Steve Bruce outlines his aim for this season, some NUFC fans react: ‘He should resign now’
Newcastle United fans are unhappy with Steve Bruce’s comments regarding his aim for the season. The Newcastle United manager revealed that he is just looking to keep the club in the Premier League this year. At the start of the season, Steve Bruce claimed that a top-half finish was a possibility for Newcastle United but it seems that he has given up on those hopes already. He said (via Chronicle): “My remit is to keep Newcastle in the Premier League this season and keep trying to edge the club forward.” Newcastle United crashed to a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City last time out and they are 13th in the Premier League table with 18 points from 12 matches. There is no reason why Newcastle United cannot finish in the top half after the start they have made this season. The fact that t...
Jurgen Klopp: Mo Salah is happy at Liverpool
Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp moved to dismiss speculation over Egypt forward Mohamed Salah’s future saying on Thursday he is happy at the Premier League champions. The 28-year-old gave an interview in Spain last week in which he said Barcelona and Real Madrid were top clubs and “who knows what will happen in the future”. This led to speculation over whether he was seeking a new longer-term contract beyond 2023 or he was upset Trent Alexander-Arnold had been given the captain’s armband for the Champions League group match with Midtjylland. “We do not speak about deals — well, not with you (the media). Why should we start now?” said Klopp at his press conference ahead of Sunday’s game with struggling West Brom. “Mo is in a good mood, always a good moment. He is in really good shape and that ...
‘Great player’, ‘Would be class’ – Some NUFC fans react to links with 24-yr-old wanted by Everton
Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has once again been linked with a move away from the London club. The 24-year-old midfielder has dropped down the pecking order at Tottenham and it seems that he might have to leave the club in order to play more often. According to the Telegraph, the player could be loaned out when the transfer window reopens in January and Tottenham are thought to be willing to listen to offers for the midfielder. The report further claims that Everton and Newcastle United have been credited with an interest in the England international, however, Daniel Levy would prefer to send the player overseas. Everton and Newcastle could certainly use some creativity in their midfield and Dele Alli could prove to be a smart addition to their side especially on a loan deal. The To...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits to Paul Pogba error
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has surprisingly hinted that he mismanaged Paul Pogba, particularly at the start of this season. The French midfielder was a shadow of himself when the league began but was handed minutes nonetheless and so he continued to struggle. In fairness, United were performing poorly overall so Pogba wasn’t the only one who looked out of sorts. However, Solskjaer would soon exclude him from the starting XI and use him as an impact substitute, which he did remarkably well. Pogba’s lack of form was put down to a lack of a pre-season but perhaps fans have been a little dismissive that he also had to recover from Covid-19. According to the club’s official website, Solskjaer said: “You see, when you have got good players, it is a nice challenge and a nice deci...
Leeds boss kicks against fans returning to stadiums
Marcelo Bielsa has demanded Premier League chiefs block fans returning to grounds until all 20 top-flight clubs can reopen their turnstiles. Under the new Covid tier system, half of Premier League clubs will still not be allowed supporters from Wednesday, while the other ten can have 2,000. Leeds are in Tier 3 and must keep fans locked out – with boss Bielsa saying: “If fans are not allowed in all stadiums, then they should not be allowed until everyone can. “Clubs shouldn’t have to deal with the consequences of being in a category. It should be about trying to maintain the competition as equally as possible.” Arsenal will become the first Prem team to welcome fans back since March when they host Rapid Vienna in the Europa League on Thursday. While West Ham’s Prem clash with Manchester Uni...
