Newcastle United Fans Left Fuming as Carabao Cup Team News Leaves Hope of Landing Marc Guehi
It’s safe to say that Newcastle United fans aren’t having the best of weeks. With just a few days left to make any meaningful signings, the Magpies have seen their hopes of landing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace take a big hit.
Palace announced their team news for their Carabao Cup match against Norwich City, with Guehi named in the starting line-up and even captaining the side. Fans of Newcastle and Palace alike took to social media to share their reactions, with many Newcastle fans expressing their frustration and disappointment.
“So, that’s Guehi not coming to Newcastle then, all the ITK’s will be hella quiet now,” tweeted one fan, while another wrote, “Cheers for getting me excited for nothing.”
The news only adds to the frustration of Newcastle fans who are desperate for some new signings to bolster the team’s chances of staying in the Premier League. The Magpies have had a few bids rejected for Guehi already, and it seems increasingly unlikely that they’ll be able to make a deal happen.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe attempted to downplay the situation, saying that the club was still working on making signings. “Keeping players is a success. Incomings? That work is still going on behind the scenes, everyone trying their best,” he said. However, it’s clear that Howe’s hands are tied, and it may take a miracle to turn things around for the Magpies this transfer window.
For now, fans will just have to keep watching and waiting, hoping that something, anything, will happen before the window slams shut. One thing is certain, however – Newcastle’s hopes of landing Guehi are all but over. Will they be able to find another talented defender to strengthen their squad?
