Newcastle fans won’t lose any sleep if Karl Darlow is sold.
Reports of a £5m bid from Reading brought an online shrug of the shoulders at the prospect of the keeper leaving Newcastle.
Despite being the first choice keeper last season there seems to be little affection for the 26-year-old shot stopper.
Seeing Karl Darlow linked with #ReadingFc has got me buzzing!

Wouldn’t be too fussed to lose Karl Darlow, alright keeper but there’s a lot better out there. #NUFC

Surely the Toon won’t sell Karl Darlow. Elliot would be my choice to go.

Reports of interest in Joe Hart and Pepe Reina would suggest that Rafa Benitez has no great loyalty to the former Nottingham Forest keeper.
With Tim Krul back at Newcastle after two loan spells in Holland last season it seems that the goalkeeping position is well covered as the club prepare for the return to the top flight with Benitez having very definite opinions on what is required to steer clear of the relegation scrap..
After reaching the play-off’s last season Reading are among the favourites for promotion next season with the arrival of a promotion winning goalkeeper a big boost for their hopes.
