Newcastle’s French revolution has failed

Newcastle’s French revolution has failed

Newcastle United’s French revolution has failed and it is soon to be extinct with Yoan Gouffran, Gabriel Obertan and Sylvain Marveaux set to depart this transfer window. Yoan Gouffran has been heavily linked with an exit from St James’ Park for some time, having fallen out of favour under Steve McClaren.

Newcastle look set to miss out on top striker target Charlie Austin, as the QPR striker is considering a move to another Premier League club.

Five thoughts: Newcastle 0-1 Everton

Five thoughts: Newcastle 0-1 Everton

In what seems like a re-occurring theme for Newcastle United, they dropped another game this season and now sit in 18th place with a 4-5-9 record. Everton capitalized and scored in the 93rd minute to give them a 1-0 win at St. James Park. A last second corner kick, which was initially cleared by Rob Elliott, was then weakly headed in by Tom Cleverley; a header that …
