NUFC Transfers: 5 Late Deadline Deals That Could Still Be Made

2. Tom Ince

Shock horror, this guy isn't French. Hell, he doesn't even speak French. I know, it might seem like anathema for the Newcastle scouting team to consider departing from their Gallic hunting grounds, but for a prospect like Tom Ince they just might consider breaking with tradition. Ince's performance for Blackpool have been turning Premier League heads for a good time now, and with the Seasiders getting off to a good start in this year's Championship campaign, the winger €“ son of Tangerines manager Paul Ince €“ has put himself right in the shop window. Let's face it, Sammy Ameobi and Yoann Gouffran aren't two names who fill the Geordie faithful's hearts with hope, so shelling out between £8 to £12 million on an English under-21 starlet who's dazzling displays have shown him to be far too good for the Championship may prove to be a shrewd move. After all, Newcastle are hardly drowning in depth on the wing, and this'll certainly get the imaginations firing far more than recalling Shane Ferguson back from his loan.
