Alan Shearer suggests something ‘really embarrassing’ could happen to Paul Mitchell at Newcastle this week
Newcastle United have had a difficult few months.
The Magpies were under a lot of pressure to get deals done before the PSR deadline, and they had to work extremely hard to get on the right side of the rules.
Since then, Newcastle have struggled to bring in their top targets, and that has become really concerning ahead of the end of the transfer window this Friday.
On the , club legend Alan Shearer has now made his feelings clear to Newcastle United’s decision-makers.
Alan Shearer sends message to Newcastle’s Paul Mitchell and Darren Eales
Newcastle United picked up a lucky 1-1 draw in the Premier League against Bournemouth on Sunday.
The Magpies looked nothing like their usual selves, and even Shearer has admitted that they were lucky to have come away with something from the game.
Eddie Howe’s focus will now be on the transfer window to raise the excitement levels among the fan base before Friday’s deadline.
Newcastle still need some help, especially at the back.
Marc Guehi is their top target, but all of their bids to sign the defender have been rejected by Crystal Palace so far.
Time is running out for the Toon, and Shearer has claimed that it would be ‘really embarrassing’ for Paul Mitchell and Darren Eales if they fail to land Guehi before the window shuts.
He 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.”

Newcastle open talks with two Guehi alternatives
Guehi is clearly Newcastle’s top target and rightly so.
The Palace star has been one of the best defenders in the country over the last 12 months. He was brilliant for England at the Euros as well, and he will definitely improve Howe’s side.
However, with a deal to sign him proving more difficult than they originally thought, the Magpies have opened talks with two alternatives.
It has been revealed that Newcastle are speaking about signing Edmond Tapsoba and Axel Disasi, who will both be cheaper than Guehi this summer.
It will be interesting to see who will be the one coming to St James’ Park before the window closes.
