NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (January 2021)

[UlversToon]

Aarons has signed for Huddersfield.

[Captain Obvious]

If he could have stayed fit, who knows what might have been. Hope he can get a run of games and get his career back on track.

Yeah, there are the players that have injuries once they've found their level and you miss out on their productivity, and then there are the young players that face a lot of injuries in the definitive period of their development and never quite get seasoned. He feels like the latter. Unforunately I fear he'll never reach his potential having missed so much time when he did.

Yoshi.

Linked to Josh King, out of contract in summer so probably wouldn’t cost too much and a decent player.

I like Newcastlemouth United (Ritchie, Atsu, Fraser, Wilson...). Eddie Howe is still free...

Haha it did cross my mind! Atsu wasn’t Bournemouth tho was he?

On loan there from Chelsea for a bit I think

Oh right, I’ve zero recollection of that!

Just seen that King hasn’t scored this season so even more chance we’ll be interested

I'll take him. He'll be a better option than any of our current forwards apart from Wilson (who he has that Bournemouth connection with) so building chemistry with him won't take long at all and he can play out wide too if needed rather him than Joelinton. Pacey, comfortable on the ball, skillful and a good finisher on his day judging by his 5 seasons in the Prem he hit double figures in 2 seasons (16-17 scored 16 in 36 & 12 in 35 in 18-19).

I've seen we're being linked to Jones & Willems again.. I wouldn't mind Willems but do we really need another youngster on loan when we already have a young LB in Lewis still learning & developing.. what we need is a solid & experienced LB.. Get Jetro in!

Phil Jones might surprise a few people, he's clearly not good enough for United but at a mid-table/lower-half side like ours might be a useful player as he can cover RB/LB/CB/DM.. even though he wouldn't get into our strongest XI he'll be OK as a squad player.

I see Lingard being linked too.. Out of contract in summer and still only 28. If we can keep him fit & motivated he'll actually be a good player for us.. can cover the wings & no.10 role? Skillful, a good eye for a pass & goal.. issue is as mentioned will he still be the same player he was couple of seasons ago & will he stay fit?

[Scalabrine]

Miggy.

[Captain Obvious]

Sounds like a deal has been agreed for Emil Krath. Wish him well but he won't be missed. Frees up a squad slot for a new signing and if we can agree a deal for Williams he can come in as cover without using up a space.

Yeah good luck to him. He seemed like a decent pro but never made an impact. We've got Manquillo back now and Yedlin so his chances would be very limited.

I read (Daily Mail, sorry - also not an avid reader but saw this particular article) that he is now reconsidering after playing the full match against Arsenal...

Saw this in various sources too. Brilliant.

Speaking of Yedlin....

With Belgian side Club Brugge and Turkish giants Besiktas, and Trabzonspor and Bundesliga sides Werder Bremen, Augsburg and Mainz among those who are eyeing a move for the 27-year-old, Yedlin wants clarity from the Newcastle hierarchy that has so far not been offered.

"One of the things that people think is you just go out and play and that's our life but there's a lot more to balance whether it be on the field or off the field," he told CBS Sports HQ. "Obviously with my situation currently I have six months left on my contract.

"It has been a bit frustrating because me and my agent have had no communication with Newcastle at all about what their plans are for me, if I can go or if they want me to stay. It has been kind of a tough time and obviously I want to keep my head on football and just play my game but there are distractions like that that unfortunately make it a bit tough."

Bruce initially indicated at the start of this season that Yedlin would be free to move on and competition for a right-back berth in the Newcastle side remains fierce with Emil Krafth having taken the starting spot for Monday's 3-0 defeat away to Arsenal.

Yedlin was keen to insist that any issues with Newcastle were not due to Bruce, who has come under pressure with the Magpies having gone 0-2-5 in the Premier League since back-to-back wins over Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion.

Yedlin said: "With me the manager is nothing but great. He had his opinion in the summer. I was looking at leaving in the summer but ultimately ended up staying and was obviously out of the team for quite some time and had my opportunity to go.

"I did well and am fortunate for the opportunity, it's just the fact that there has really been no clarity about what their thoughts going forward are. I understand there's a business side to it but also it's a person's life you're dealing with.

"There's no issues with the manager at all. He has been fantastic and I'm fortunate he has given me another opportunity to go out and showcase myself.

"At this moment (I want) just some clarity over whether Newcastle want me to stay or whether I can go. Whatever it is it's something that needs to be talked about pretty quickly because there's six months left on my contract. If I am going to leave Newcastle there's steps I need to take in terms of talking to other teams and things like that. There's been no clarity. My agent has reached out to people at Newcastle and they've responded back saying 'yes we'll call you' and there's no calls back. That has been quite frustrating."

Doesn’t seem to be based on anything other than “played one game so might want to stay now”. In true Bruce fashion he won’t even be in the squad on Saturday.

Such professionalism from our hierarchy. You can see why players appear disillusioned on and off the pitch.

Bet other players are falling over themselves to join us after hearing stuff like that.
