Newcastle target Victor Munoz is "one of the pearls of Spanish football," says La Liga expert Phil Minshull. The Magpies remain in talks with Osasuna to sign the 22-year-old winger, who is viewed as a replacement for Anthony Gordon. "He is an outstanding young talent," said Minshull to BBC Radio Newcastle.
Alex: I like Rohl but if his heart isn't in the Rangers job then he should leave because we want people at our club who are committed. James: Rohl can go if he wants, we were very poor when it really mattered last season and it was unforgivable how he treated James Tavernier on a dead rubber game.
Ewan asked: How much can Newcastle realistically spend on new players? Ciaran answered: There was a time when clubs had set figures at the start of windows and this was a much more straightforward question to answer. This is why the trading of players like Anthony Gordon is going to be so important to boost headroom, particularly after Newcastle missed out on the riches of the Champions League and, indeed, any European football whatsoever.
Could this be plan B - or even plan A for next season? Live wire William Osula gave Newcastle something very different up front with his pace in behind and his ability to lead the press. The use of Jacob Ramsey as an inverted winger was effective against West Ham, in particular, in the final home game of the season.
With the sale of Gordon, will this give us strong opportunity to compete for stronger players? Ciaran: A big sale was definitely a necessity to unlock some headroom and enable Newcastle to reinvest. Newcastle do not necessarily have the capability to bring in a replacement with an even stronger profile given the wages and fees such talents command.
