AliousNewcastle United are approaching the start of their Premier League campaign, with recent news suggesting they’re pursuing Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi.
While fan reactions are mixed, most seem positive about the potential signing.
The author supports signing Guehi and young striker Will Osula, then potentially selling some players before further recruitment.
They argue that Newcastle’s defense needs more attention than their attack, citing last season’s statistics of 15 clean sheets and 73 goals conceded in 51 matches across all competitions.
The aging defense is a concern, with only a few young players like Hall, Livramento, Botman, Kelly, and possibly Murphy set to remain in the coming years.
The author believes Newcastle needs defenders to replace older players such as Trippier, Schar, Burn, Krafth, and Lascelles.
Despite striker concerns due to Callum Wilson’s fitness issues, the team has performed reasonably well without him and Alexander Isak.
The author suggests that defensive reinforcements like Guehi could address more pressing issues.
Regarding Guehi’s potential £60 million price tag, the author argues it’s justified in today’s market.
They compare it to previous high-profile defender transfers like Van Dijk and Maguire, suggesting Guehi’s value is on par with these precedents.
The author concludes that Guehi would be a worthwhile investment for Newcastle United, potentially addressing key defensive concerns and strengthening the team for the upcoming season.
