Five players could now be playing for their future after Newcastle’s recent cup final defeat.
Despite it being an excellent achievement, making it to the final of the Carabao Cup, Newcastle will be disappointed to fall at the final hurdle.
Ultimately, Manchester United’s quality was too much and proved Newcastle might not be at that level yet, particularly if you look at some of the players they brought off the bench.
The Telegraph has now suggested that five players are now playing for their futures. Dan Burn, Fabian Schar, Sean Longstaff, Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson could be vulnerable.
Burn played OK as did Almiron who has only just signed a 3 year contract extension so I don’t think those two are vulnerable, they will stay
Longstaffs form.has dipped slightly recently and but unless NUFC sign a top quality replacement he wont leave anytime soon the same goes for Shar. We do lack a genuine regular free scoring centre forward but until replacement in that position is gaurenteed signed then Callum Wilson will also stay at Newcastle.
The 4 or 5 players I see being sold on or released are , Lascelles, Ritchie, Fraser.Manquillo, Dummett and maybe Murphy
Exactly, plenty of players ahead of these 5 in the exit queue. Schar has been one of our best players this season and Miggy has just sign a new deal! Wilson will stick about as a squad player as will Longstaff and Burn (can cover LB/CB). Would make no sense to sell 5 first teamers when we have squad players to shift. Murphy, Lascelles, Ritchie, Manquillo, Fraser will go and then some of the first team will become the back up. Natural phasing out of less talented players, nothing major.
A small squad will only improve over time . FFP will massively affect Newcastle other teams have been able to spend for 10 years where we still have championship players it will be a longer process than a couple of seasons . Howe has created miracles so far .
Utter rubbish , the writer needs to have a word with himself , does he expect nufc to go and do a Forrest and buy 20 players? There are players not playing who will go first , players at end of contract soon that will go. They won’t sell the first trainers but they may go down to bench instead. Look at who we call up from the bench no one there to improve the team really
