Big goals for Newcastle United

One thing is for sure, the new owners of Newcastle United don’t want to mess around. They mean business and will do everything they can to make Newcastle United the best team in the world. Several names of players and managers are already circling around the club. Antonio Conte is one of the managers who’s immediately being linked to the job at Newcastle. The Italian manager would have all the funds he needs to build his own team. A job that’s an amazing challenge for a manager. Newcastle United needs to show they mean serious business so they will go after some of the best players in the world. It’s likely that they start with players who are gettable. You can think about players who play for a struggling Barcelona for example. Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho are two players mentioned a lot these last few days.
