The Newcastle United hierarchy are keen to project an element of calmness regarding the club’s summer window, yet a series of setbacks are leading to increasing disquiet among the fan-base.
A clear plan for incomings and outgoings is in place for the summer, the club insist, and three exciting young signings have already arrived, while up to £170million ($227.7m) has been generated through player sales.
Yet uncertainty surrounding Bruno Guimaraes’ situation and Aston Villa’s late swoop for Johan Manzambi, Newcastle’s top target, added to Liverpool gazumping the club for Victor Munoz last month, has left Eddie Howe still searching for significant first-XI reinforcements as the non-internationals reconvene for pre-season training.
So should supporters be worried about what is unfolding? Are there actually alternatives to Manzambi? And where do Newcastle go next in the transfer market?
Chris Waugh and George Caulkin are on hand to answer your questions about all things Newcastle United in a live Q&A from 3pm-4pm BST (10am-11am EDT).
