When you like a team, however, you are often worried whether they will get the right transfers, sell or purchase new ones, depending on what the team needs. People even bet on this, following various types of betting strategies that they find fitting (note that not all bets can be placed for the same thing; for example draw no bet bets serve a different purpose than over/under bets…), because transfers are a large part of football. Some betters even go as far as finding promotional codes to make their betting easier and more affordable, like this Betway promo code. 

Newcastle United is a team which also had its own fair share of transfers, expensive ones, at that. Here are the most expensive NCU transfers. 

Joelinton

When purchasing players, clubs tend to pay much more than they would get for selling players, unless you have stars on your team, or players who rose to fandom and popularity while being on your team. Joelinton was purchased from Hoffenheim for 40 million pounds. That is a lot of money, beating the previous signing of 21 millions by almost double that. Joelinton played for Brazil and was capped at under 17. The club proudly posted on social media upon purchasing him and breaking their own record.

Miguel Almiron

Miguel Almiron was bought just 6 months prior to Joelinton and had held the record for that much. He was the most expensive purchase that the Magpies had before purchasing Joelinton. He was bought for 21 million pounds, from Atlanta United. His first ten months weren’t the greatest, because he had an injury. Afterwards, he managed to pull through and show everyone why he was a great purchase.

Michael Owen

Owen was purchased in 2005 from Real Madrid for 16 million pounds. His career wasn’t astonishing when he played for the Magpies. He had almost terrible four years, for a player of his caliber. Those four years were plagued with injuries and Owen, while still providing a lot to the team, couldn’t perform at his best. 

Alan Shearer

Shearer made his dream come true when he joined Newcastle United in 1996, his home town. The previously played for Blackburn and always wanted to play for his hometown. He was bought for 15 million pounds. He remains, to this day, the top scorer of the Magpies.

Aleksandar Mitrovic

Mitrovic was bought from Anderlecht for 14 million pounds in 2015. He was supposed to be a star player at the time, but due to the relatively poor performances, compared to what was expected of him, he went to Fulham on loan in 2018, after which the deal was made permanent.

These are some of the most expensive transfers that Newcastle United ever had. If the team gets more great players, you can expect the prices to go up, beating even the current record holder, Joelinton.

Times online has giving example from as long as fifteen years ago while Nottingham Forest were also been said as a team which is too good to go down. The fact that Brian Clough’s final season is ending in relegation for Forest doesn’t have any relation in whatsoever with Newcastle United now.

They said Newcastle can be described as having a freefall, without a single league win since mid-December, collecting only three points from a possible 30 and only above Reading in the form table. My question is: So What?!

“Everything boils down to results and, at this moment in time, Newcastle aren’t getting them,” Shearer said. “But I don’t think they’ll have any chance of going down. If you go through the squad they should not be in the position they’re in.”

Shearer admits the United team confidence is at a low ebb but he still feel Newcastle is a much better team than those around us at the bottom. We still have games against any teams who are in lower position and what the hell on earth we can not have something out from them.

This Saturday we will have home match to Blackburn Rovers and for those who still believe in the opportunity, that game is the one that we should have win about.

Shearer said: “It’s very winnable and things will change once they get that first win. Confidence is a huge thing in football and it can make you a much better player and give you an extra 30 or 40 per cent, which is what Newcastle need.”

Keegan targeted four wins from the remaining 11 games, and no matter what happened to this team, even we have to go down I don’t give a sh*t to what the papers prediction or considered about how we need 19 games previously to get four wins.

His decision to pull out himself was for the best of the club and Shearer insists that he is not snubbed anyone or anything with that.

“I chatted to Kevin for four hours at my house first time. Then we had another long meeting on Monday.” Shearer told the press, “Throughout the talks, all I was thinking about was what would be best for Newcastle, not what would be best for me.”

“Newcastle has given me too much for me to turn my back at a time when I might be able to help, but I don’t think I would be a help right now and I have explained that to Kevin.”

Shearer still hopes to manage his hometown club in the future, but right now he believes Keegan has to be the “dominant” personality at Newcastle, and he thought at the moment Newcastle don’t need another.

“It needs one personality driving things forward at the club and that is Kevin Keegan.” Shearer added more, “We are both single-minded and have our ideas about how things should be done. That is not the best mix, you need to be different. So, for plenty of reasons, I had to say no.”

Glenn Hoddle is also mentioned as the other candidate to manage the Football League Championship Division club. The Saints were relegated from the Premiership in 15 May 2005, following a 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United, that ends their 27 consecutive seasons of top division football.

Hoddle has admirers on the club’s board, but it remains questionable whether he would want to return after the club’s fan-base had blocked him to make a return in 2004.

But according to Telegraph, an internet poll of Southampton supporters last night placed him as the top choice to succeed Burley, ahead of Shearer, Chris Coleman and Billy Davies.

For Alan Shearer, the chance to manage the Saints will make the first stepping-stone into his major ambition to be Newcastle United manager in the future.

Southampton was his first professional club when Shearer began his playing career and as he has said before, he still sees the opportunity to manage other club than Newcastle United and if he was chosen as the Saints new manager it would be an emotional pull for him.

I have personally thought that the posibility of Big Al as King Kev assistant was as thin as skin couple days ago, and it comes to even worst when Shearer’s told the Sun couple days ago that he didn’t see Newcastle as the only club that he can manage.

The news would be disappointing one for the Toon Army as the expectation was very high to see them pairing together for Newcastle. But King Kev still see the opportunity for Shearer to have a position within his new set-up at St James’ Park, but definetely not as the assistant.
