10 Players Ian Cathro Could Bring With Him To Newcastle

8. Rúben Vezo

Another area Newcastle need to strengthen quite desperately is in defence, and one of the cheaper options they could go for comes in the form of this Portugal U21 international. Vezo is a centre half by trade but his size and physical attribute means he is equally comfortable filling in at right back. Valencia paid Vitória Setúbal just ‚1.5 million for his signature in January 2014, which means Newcastle could expect to spend as little as £4 million for his signature. £4 million on a player that helped a side, against the odds, qualify for the Champions League. A no brainer, surely? Due to various reasons, including injuries and the form of far bigger names, Vezo only managed to make nine appearances last term which could mean he would be open to a move to United, where he would almost be guaranteed a starting place even at the tender age of 21. Standing at just over six feet, he could feasibly be a replacement for Fabricio Coloccini, who has proved over the past two years that his best days are far behind him. Of course, Newcastle would have to sign a towering brute to replace Mike Williamson and play alongside him next season, because Willo isn't very good either...
