Alan Shearer has warned Paul Mitchell and Darren Eales that the cub need a “big signing” over the final five days of the summer transfer window.
Speaking on the Rest Is Football podcast today, Shearer seemed irked by our lack of transfer business and insisted it would be “embarrassing” for our sporting director and CEO if we don’t get a “statement” deal done this week.
Our former number nine feels we “need to bring in Marc Guehi” after a number of failed bids, believing it would “reflect really bad” on Mitchell and Eales if we didn’t end the window on a high after failing to improve our starting 11 so far this summer, with a centre-back and right-winger still yet to sign.
Shearer said: “They need to give the fans a bit of excitement. Darren Eales and Paul Mitchell, sporting director and chief executive, they need to do something in the next week, because they cannot go into September without bringing a big signing to Newcastle. They need to bring Marc Guehi in. They need to have a statement signing.
“It would be really embarrassing for those two, in particular, who are now running the football club, for them to go into September without bringing a big hitter or a big statement signing in, I think it would look really, really poor on those two.
“They’ve made several bids for Guehi at Crystal Palace. They just need to get it over the line. They cannot go into September without bringing a big signing in – it would reflect really bad on those two.”
Really interesting to hear @alanshearer thoughts on Darren Eales, Paul Mitchell and Newcastle’s transfer window or lack thereof so far. 🤞🏼Something happens this week.
