Newcastle told to sign £240k-a-week Brazilian or PSG outcast

Newcastle United will be looking to make a big impression in Janua♍ry and Sky Sports pundit, Darren Bent, feels either Philippe Coutinho or Maur💯o Icardi would be the perfect type of signing.

Bent, speaking on yesterday, feels that the biggest names in football aren’t going to want ꦛto immediately come to Newcastle. The likes of Mbappe, for example, more likely t𓃲o move to a Real Madrid or Man City.

However, Bent does feel Newcastle can brin⛎g in a few bigger names. And he told the panel that someone like Coutinho or Icardi might be ideal for the time being.

“The thing for Newcastle is they might have to go a bit rogue. The likes of Mbappe and Haaland, these guys are not going to come,” Bent said.

“So they might have to go and get, you know, a couple of guys who aren’t maybe as dedicated to their football, but who you know are top players. Someone like a Coutinho, for instance. He’s got all the ability in the world but fallen on harder times. Maybe Icardi at PSG. Those sorts of player will bring the fans in.”

Both Coutinh𝄹o and Icardi have been with moves to St James’ Park already.

TBR’s View: Coutinho or Icardi would excite Newcastle fans

Bent makes♐ a valiཧd point here. Just because the money is there, doesn’t mean the very best will want to join Newcastle. So the likes of Coutinho and Icardi are good shouts.

Cout🅷inho, who earns a whopping anyway, has already proven himself in England before. Icardi, meanwhile, sits behind Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe in Paris, despite the French side paying for him.

But either plaꩲyer would certainly perk the interest of the Toon Army.
