Rubbish Newcastle transfer news: 92 targets – 58 days to go
Welcome to our daily rubbish Newcastle transfer news service, featuring all the players NUFC are ‘buying’ (including proposed loan deals) this summer.
We will update each day and try to keep you abreast of all these exciting transfers that aren’t going to happen (as well as the handful that hopefully will…).
Only one new name today, brings the running total up to 92 targets with 58 days remaining (5 days until the first friendly and 35 days until the Premier League starts against Southampton).
Not sure where this one came from originally or the reasoning behind it but QPR keeper Alex McCarthy has been linked with Newcastle.
The 25 year old keeper has played almost all of his football under the Premier League and was taken on by QPR when his contract ended a year ago at Championship club Reading.
McCarthy only started two Premier League matches last season, plus he came on as a sub when Rob Green was forced off in the QPR v Newcastle match in May.
Whilst there is very little new in Sunday’s media with mainly the recycling of Charlie Austin, Georginio Wijnaldum etc stories, there is one bit of concrete news to do with a player we featured yesterday.
Northampton’s manager has today confirmed that Newcastle are in discussions with them over the potential transfer of striker Ivan Toney, Northampton leaving their player out of a friendly today due to the transfer talks.
Toney is a 19 year old striker and in total he has played 59 (29 in the starting eleven and 30 as a sub) times, in that time he has scored 13 goals.
Last season he started to get more regular football and made 40 (23 starts 17 sub) appearances with 8 goals, Toney is valued at around £300,000 according to the reports.
To try and keep some kind of order, the players are listed in alphabetical order by surname, then first/other names, the club they are/were at when Newcastle were linked with them, then finally the club they have ended up signing for (if any).
Please let us know of any that we have missed out as we go along and especially if you notice if any on the list actually sign for a club and we haven’t added that information.
