10 Players Newcastle Have ALREADY Missed Out On This Summer

10. Andre Ayew

Proof of transfer rumour: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-make-andre-ayew-approach-5571261 A name that was linked with Newcastle for well over a year as his deal at French side Marseille wound down. The attacker would sign for Swansea last week with Untied seemingly failing to put any sort of concrete deal on the table. The 25-year-old reportedly wanted wages of £100,000 per week which made him a instant no-go for The Magpies, who under Mike Ashley have a strict wage bill in place. The Ghanian would have alleviated many of Newcastle's problems in wide areas. Following Jonas Gutierrez's release, Remy Cabella, Gabriel Obertan and an in "contract negotiations" Sammy Ameobi are the only wingers at the club. There's little doubting that Steve McClaren needs creative players and getting one as class as Ayew for free, despite his high wage demands, would have been a fantastic signing for the club. Two summers ago Newcastle passed up the opportunity to sign a certain Wilfried Bony for a reported £10 million as they saw that as too much for someone from Holland. So baring that in mind, watch Ayew win Premier League player of the season next term at The Liberty Stadium...
