Newcastle Transfers: 10 Perfect Signings Carver Won't Make Today

9. Dele Alli

There is still a lot of noise about the possibility of the English prospect signing for Newcastle and then being loaned back to current club MK Dons for the rest of the season, but as is usually the way, Aston Villa are now trying to muscle in on the deal. Looking at the two clubs side by side, Newcastle SHOULD be the bigger draw for the ambitious youngster, but they probably won't pay enough to convince him, especially if Villa start a bidding war. And there's every chance he wants to try his hand in the Premier League immediately, which is not something Newcastle will be up for. So expect either disappointment or delayed success. Either way, he won't be in a black and white top this spring.
