Keith Downie of Sky Sports has reported that Rolando Aarons will not be part of Newcastle’s 25 man squad when it is announced after the window closes.
Sheffield Wednesday & Wigan are both trying to sign Newcastle’s Rolando Aarons. The winger is surplus to requirements in Steve Bruce’s 25-man squad #NUFC
— Keith Downie (@SkySports_Keith) August 7, 2019
This comes as a bit of a surprise as Rolando had featured quite a bit in the pre-season for Newcastle. It seemed to us that he had done enough to be included, even though it would have been only as cover.
So it looks like both Wigan and Sheffield Wednesday are vying to get Aarons on loan over the next 22 hours. The Sheffield Wednesday link is very interesting as it was said that the Owls wanted Aarons on loan as part of the compensation package for Steve Bruce.
It does look like Steve Bruce has spoken to the players who are not going to be part of the squad. Yesterday it was reported that six players would be moved out prior to Thursday and that was not including Aarons.
Those players were goalkeeper Rob Elliot, left-back Achraf Lazaar, right-back Jamie Sterry, midfielders Henri Saivet and Jack Colback, as well as winger Jacob Murphy. Jacob Murphy has four Championship clubs after him in Derby, Fulham, Huddersfield, as well as Sheffield Wednesday.
It looks like there is going to be a lot of movement out and it appears as though Steve Bruce has done a decent job in identifying the right players who are not good enough. However, we are disappointed that Rolando Aarons has not done enough to earn a spot. But it may open up a place in the squad for an additional transfer by tomorrow.

Comment #122Who will be the surprise signings tomorrow ?
I wonder.
They won’t be last minute panic buys just late deals that took time to complete, especially the striker.
Starting next Sunday we need points on the board right from the start of the season and none of this buying in January so we can attempt to catch the pack and extract ourselves from the mire.
Apart form anything else my nerves wont take it.
Let’s lead not follow.

Comment #123Well…
The doomsters (OP being one) who said there would be no more signings after ASM look like they are wrong with Krafth waiting to be announced.
I also predict that the doomsters who said a top player would also be sold to balance the books will be wrong as well.
And…
It wouldn’t surprise me if another non loan signing came through the door tomorrow.
Let’s see.

Comment #126Mind…
With so much having been trousered out of the club (supposedly) by Ashley…
To balance the books we’ll have to sell Dubs, Schar, Lascelles, Lejeune, Longstaff, Almiron and Hayden.
But…
They won’t be a miss…
Because according to some we are relegation fodder even if these players stay.
Go figure.

Comment #130Bills son, I have never read so much rubbish. You seem to make things up that others have supposedly said. Then you denounce these as if they had been said in the first place. Very strange.

Like the woman who gave birth in the toilet because she was scared to take a day off.
People worry about people on 4hrs a week at the ground and 100s of ambulances are called to Shirebrook each year for services medical issues.
Our club is associated with that.

If you’re so happy with these signings, believe that we’re ambitious and far being a shambles, why exactly to you want to see the back of him, if I was happy with the way we are being ran, like yourself, I’d be wanting him to stay forever.

If you haven’t read the doomsters spouting no more signings, top player sales being sold to balance the cooked books you must be reading the blog with your eyes closed.

Comment #139Bills son, I don’t read everything but I don’t need to as I see what the parasite has done to the club over many years. I cannot understand anyone defending him. Have you read the reviews from employees at Shirebrook. Did you see the sweat shops in the far east that he uses.
I this someone you want in control of our great club? Look to your conscience.

He used to have a shrine to Ashley in his man cave, however he invested all his savings in SD and now lives in a cardboard box near McDonald’s to use the wifi.
I neay feel like buying Ashley a pint, he ain’t all bad.

Comment #144Jjust a brief comment from sunny Shoreham but I’m a bit puzzled as to why some bloggers want to drop a player from our starting 11 who has stood out as one of our better players for one who has not even trained with the squad, what am I missing?

Comment #146bill,
I’m sick to the back teeth of saying I don’t want Ashley at the club.
But that doesn’t mean that every single thing that happens at the club is a disaster.
If every single business owner, or owner of a club especially in the Prem, was called out for sourcing products or services from sweat shops, there would be few left untouched.
That doesn’t make sweat shops acceptable…
But it doesn’t male SD unique either.

Comment #149I’d send Aarons and Murphy out on loan to the Championship, and bring them both back for next pre season, in the hope that by then they’d usurped the more seasoned Atsu and Ritchie. We are gonna need Ritchie and Atsu’s experience this term, off the bench, perhaps in the side, in Ritchie’s case, if we play wing backs, and certainly around the group.

Comment #158Bills son, so why antagonise so may people?
We know not everything is a disaster but just look at the evidence against.
Have you seen the stadium condition?
Have you seen the poor condition of the academy?
Do you wonder where all the money has gone?
Do you know about the NUFC business being split into dozens of companies?
Do you know about the sale of land that could have been used to expand the stadium?
I don’t know all of the goings on, but to me he looks like a typical asset stripper.
Are you willing to stand by and let this happen?
