Van de Beek was offered to Newcastle

Newcastle are desperate to get anyone they think will help them avoid the drop. Paying £25m for Wood is as much about weakening a competitor as it is strengthening their own squad.

I think even if they do manage to bring in a load of expensive new players this month, it's going to be very difficult to turn a bunch of new individuals into a cohesive footballing team in time to avoid relegation. And players who Newcastle bid for will know that. I can't see why top players would want to join them.

It really seems like that almost every player at the moment is offered to newcastle and by every player i mean of course all those players that the other teams want to get rid off for whatever reason. Maybe because the club is in financial trouble like for example Barcelona and they desperately need to save money from salaries or if a club just wants to get rid of a player that they have bought for a big amount of money some time ago but is just not performing that well since then, like for example Pogba. Newcastle really needs to be smart now to not just throw their money out of the window now for big names, they need to create a functioning team.
