A whole host of Newcastle United fans have blasted Luke Edwards’ latest transfer claim on Twitter.

For the entirety of this transfer window, Newcastle have been targeting a centre-back, with their efforts to sign Sven Botman initially knocked back before the same happened with Diego Carlos, as Eddie Howe clearly knows a defence that’s kept two clean sheets is not good enough.

Will Newcastle sign a defender this week?

Yes!

Yes!

No!

No!

Another area of the pitch they may be targeting more aggressively now following the injury picked up by Paul Dummett against Leeds United is left-back, although a move for Bayer Leverkusen defender Mitchel Bakker, who was linked with the Toon, is now not going to happen, according to Edwards.

A lot of Newcastle fans on Twitter are gutted with Edwards’ transfer claim.

What have these Newcastle fans been saying?

“Strange one this, sounded nailed on. A better target suddenly become available? Grimaldo? Goosens?”

@HowayStats

“Pain. Now onto Gosens”

@yournufc

“Well aren’t you just a fountain of hope this morning”

@GallowgateShots

“Cheers crying now”

@Logan14Cameron

“Nothing is going to happen. Negative negative negative”

@antonicheng

“Because we are a joke of a club and nothing has changed since Ashley simple as that”

@GeoffWi96906645

It has been quite a while since Newcastle made a breakthrough in the transfer market, and with less than seven days left in the window, it’s understandable that these fans are beginning to get slightly agitated over their club’s lack of business.
