by index on April 29, 2022

Newcastle United will reportedly have to smash their transfer record to sign Lucas Paqueta this summer. The Brazilian attacker was linked with the Magpies in January, with the Toon reportedly launching a £34million bid. However, it was rejected by Lyon. But Newcastle did sign one Brazilian from the Ligue 1 side earlier in the year. Bruno Guimaraes arrived for a fee that could rise to £42million.


The 24-year-old has been a star since his big money move, dazzling on his first St James’ Park start last time out. Guimaraes is the present and the future for Newcastle, but could he be reunited with one of his best footballing friends this summer? [Continue reading…]

NEWCASTLE UNITED: WHY WAS LEWIS DROPPED?

by index on February 20, 2022

Northern Ireland international defender Jamal Lewis might have played his last game for Newcastle United after he failed to make the cut for the revised Premier League squad at the Northeast club. Newcastle United confirmed their Premier League squad for the remainder of the season last week and Lewis was an obvious omission. He was not part of the 25-man squad for the rest of this season’s Premier League campaign.

It is safe to say that things have not gone the way Lewis expected when he left Norwich City to sign for Newcastle United as a promising fullback at the start of last season. He started last season as the first choice left-back before his spot was taken by Matt Ritchie. He has played five times for the Magpies in the Premier League this season and six times in all competitions. It’s not a surprise that Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has opted for Matt Targett, Javier Manquillo and Matt Ritchie ahead of Jamal Lewis. New signing Targett signed for the club from fellow English top flight team Aston Villa on loan on the final day of the winter transfer window last month and he has taken the place of Lewis in the latest 25-man squad.

English Premier League club and current UEFA Champions League title holder Chelsea did have themselves a decent transfer window but they would not be happy with the way that their transfer window ended even though they sealed a big deadline day transfer. The Blues were having themselves a very quiet window during the first few weeks that it was open for business activities to take place.


They decided to break quietness and attempted to raid German Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund for their star striker Erling Haaland but they were not going to be successful because not only were they unwilling to meet the huge transfer price, Dortmund were also unwilling to lose him after losing Jadon Sancho to Manchester United.

Romero had an outstanding campaign in the Serie A last season and started attracting interest from a couple of clubs across Europe, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain. However, the Red Devils decided to sign French central defender Raphael Varane from Real Madrid while Paris Saint-Germain opted to lure Sergio Ramos from the Los Blancos as well. Also, with Liverpool already signing a new defender in Ibrahima Konate, it meant that Spurs had a clear pathway to seal the deal for the Argentina international superstar.
