As we reflect on the shambles that was the transfer window for Newcastle United, let’s look at the one player who Newcastle reportedly actually made not one, but two bids for yesterday, and I don’t blame you if you say: “who?”
According to various French sources, Newcastle made two bid for Caen midfielder Ngolo Kante; not Bafetimbi Gomis, not Jermain Defoe, not Tom Ince, not even Moussa Sow, some guy who plays in Ligue 2 in France.
Newcastle reportedly opened up the bidding proceedings with an offer of two million Euros and then thought: ‘why not splash the cash’ and increased their bid to 2.75 million Euros.
Both bids were rejected and as a result Newcastle ended up bringing in no players on transfer deadline day, but is Kante any good?
Kante plays in central midfielder for Caen and was signed from Boulogne earlier in the summer, so why the Magpies thought he would move on again so soon I have no idea.
The 22-year-old Frenchman who is Malian origin has gone from strength to strength at Caen in the short time he’s been there and has already netted a Ligue 2 goal this season.
He was named as Caen’s player of the month for August, won due to his high work rate and energy as a box-to-box midfielder – not exactly what Newcastle needed.
I’d usually now post a video from YouTube of Ngolo Kante showing off his skills, but one doesn’t exist!
think your wrong we made a bid for a Chinese player Fu King Ne One
Who’s best?
funny reading this now as he’s currently the outstanding midfielder in the premier league and top of the table with leicester.
