Newcastle United fans have been reacting to the latest transfer news to come out of the club.
The club have announced that defender Kell Watts has joined League One side Wigan Athletic on loan until the end of the season. It’s a league that the defender will know well having spent last season in the same tier with Plymouth Argyle, except this time he won’t have to travel so far to his new team.
Watts had actually made some inroads into the first-team picture during pre-season, and even started their game against York City at the beginning of the summer, with NUFC journalist Lee Ryder stating that the club ‘hold a lot of hopes’ for him.
And that is why when news of his departure reached them on social media, there were a number of Newcastle fans who weren’t pleased to hear it:
“What’s the point of our academy”
Do you think Newcastle will get relegated if they don't sign any players this summer?
Yes
No
Let’s see if this season is a good one for him in terms of his development, and whether or not it could lead to a better chance for him later down the line.
