After 3 months of suffering and helplessness, the super local club Newcastle finally waited for the moment to show their fists.
The New Year's bells of 2022, for Newcastle, are like the light in the confusion, the helper in the difficulty, wonderful and hopeful. The first transfer window since England's century-old club changed owners, although seemingly insignificant in the club's grand plan, is likely to be a lifesaver, or even a crucial first step.
Unlike Chelsea, Manchester City and Greater Paris, Newcastle's change of ownership has not only undergone several twists and turns, but also at a very bad time. The deal that shocked football was supposed to be completed last summer, but the messy relationship and intricate entanglement of interests put the deal stranded at the last minute, and Newcastle fans rejoiced.
But the mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village. The 2021/22 Premier League season has been played several rounds, and suddenly there is a loud bang in the sky, and one of the largest trades in football history has fallen.
Newcastle fans rejoiced, rushed to tell each other, and had the feeling of turning over the serfs to sing, but ignored a very serious fact - the change of ownership occurred at the beginning of the season, when Newcastle was deep in the relegation zone, the panic caused by the earthquake-level deal to other clubs and the psychological fluctuations caused by the Newcastle players, it is very likely that the £320 billion superstar will be played in the Championship to be rebuilt.
Missing the best time to strengthen the summer transfer window, Newcastle can only rely on the original team to hold out until the winter window, while the remaining 19 clubs in the Premier League have long released words: they will never trade their players to Newcastle. Newcastle's change of manager is a twist and turn, Zidane, Conte, Rogers and other somewhat famous managers have said no to Newcastle, and they can only choose Eddie Howe.
After Eddie Howe took office, Newcastle finally broke the embarrassment of not winning at the start, but still lingered in the relegation zone. After 21 rounds of the Premier League, Newcastle ranked second from the bottom with 11 points in 2 games, and the relegation situation is still grim.
Without reinforcements, Newcastle will certainly be unable to escape the doom of relegation, and the first shot of self-help has finally been fired.
England international Trippier became the first signing for a £320 billion club, and although he was previously banned by the FA for 10 weeks for illegal betting, the arrival of the powerful right-back will at least convince other players.
Throwing bricks and stones, breaking the siege, this is the meaning of Trippier joining Newcastle. After all, many big stars have said explicitly or implicitly that they will not join Newcastle.
Now, it is time for Newcastle to show its "banknote ability", and the fate of this century-old store in England can only be saved by "banknote ability". It is reported that with the addition of Trippier, Newcastle paid Atletico a transfer fee of 25 million pounds, promising Trippier an annual salary of up to 12 million pounds.
If Newcastle wants to complete the relegation, it can only pin its hopes on the golden rule of "there must be brave men under the heavy reward".
According to British media reports, Newcastle's winter window signing budget is as high as 100 million pounds, in addition to Trippier, Newcastle will also set their sights on Lille's young centre-back Sven Portman, Tottenham's centre-back Roden, after all, Newcastle's current leaky defensive line has conceded 42 goals in 19 games, which is really unbearable.
Focusing on the transformation of the defence, Newcastle is preparing to increase their strength by loaning some players in midfield, such as Tottenham's Winks, Arsenal's Hernenni, Manchester United's Van de Beek, and if the Premier League club really does not let go, Newcastle will seek to loan Wijnaldum in Paris. As for the front line, Newcastle plans to sign Liverpool Koi Origi, Arsenal's Nketiah and Norwich's Cantwell, and if not, Newcastle will seek to loan former Arsenal captain Pierre Aubameyang, who has recently been kicked out of the squad.
Newcastle's reinforcement program is both down-to-earth and highly operational, and in the role of "banknote ability", Trippier is the first, but by no means the last.
