2. Several New Signings Watching On From The Stands... Or Even One...
Okay so this one is a little big tongue-in-cheek but, let's be honest, every Newcastle fan does actually want to see this. Various reports in recent days have suggested Steve McClaren wanted a signing in before the Gateshead friendly, while now many claim he wants incomings confirmed before the Magpies fly out to the USA this weekend. If that's the case then it's not completely beyond the realms of possibility that they could be sat in the stands at the International Stadium... Somehow it's hard to picture Georginio Wijnaldum, Joel Matip or Aleksandar Mitrovic arriving on Tyneside and heading straight over to the International Stadium though, isn't it?
