Most fans would be disappointed to see any player leave their club but Newcastle United fans do not hold that thought when it comes to Joselu. Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie has revealed that the Spaniard, who was linked by the Chronicle with an exit this month, has told him he is expecting to stay at St James’ Park. This is likely to be disappointing to the player, who would like to see more first team action among the starting XI, as well as to the Toon Army,  who are hardly the biggest fans of the big forward. He might be a hard worker but while that is admirable the fans want to see quality up top and Joselu has simply not brought that to St James’ Park, despite managing to make 18 appearances this season. An exit would free up more funds for Rafael Benitez to reinvest into the first team squad before Thursday’s deadline but it would also be a risk letting him leave without a new arrival already through the door to fill the void. Clubs might look to pounce late on but unless Benitez has a new striker to plug the gap left by his exit then he is going nowhere. A shame for both player and fans but that is simply the way that the manager works. He is not wanting to take any unnecessary risks between now and the end of the season.
