What is going on at Newcastle? Carroll was sold with promises of the £35m being re-invested, Kevin Nolan has opted for a season of football in the Championship football and both claim to have been pushed out. Now Joey Barton has been told he can leave for free despite having a year left on his contract and Left back Enrique is on his way to Liverpool.
I really cant see anything other than a very hard long season for the Newcastle United fans which will be followed by next season being in the Championship. Their one signing of note is Gabriel Obertan from Manchester United for around £3m. I think Obertan has great potential if he's given the games and be allowed to make the odd mistake without the pressure of trying to break in the Manchester United first team. He has skill and pace but his downfall is he doesnt get his head up to spot the pass enough.
Betting
You can get 11/2 for Newcastle to be relegated which seems deccent odds for me especially for a club which are imploding
