A Manchester City forward could reportedly \u2018be offered around\u2019 Premier League clubs, as the chances of Newcastle landing him have been explained.<\/p>\n
The Magpies are in a far worse position this term than they\u2019ve been used to in recent campaigns. They have finished in the Premier League\u2019s top seven for the last three seasons, but are currently 14th.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve been equally as poor going forwards as in defence: 23 goals have been scored and 23 conceded in their 18 games so far, and Newcastle<\/a> have won just six of those.<\/p>\n They could have a chance at getting better on the front foot, as Newcastle outlet Chronicle Live<\/a> reports City wide man Oscar Bobb<\/a> \u2018could be offered around Premier League clubs.\u2019<\/p>\n The Magpies have previously been interested in him, so could be one of the clubs whose potential interest is looked into.<\/p>\n That said, the report explains that a move to Newcastle might be unlikely, given they have Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy battling for their wide spots.<\/p>\n But in the Premier League, there\u2019s not been an awful lot to shout about, so having another forward in the ranks would not be the worst thing.<\/p>\n That said, Bobb is valued at \u00a320million and has just one assist and no goals in 15 games this season, so that may be a waste of money.<\/p>\n There is perceived threat on Eddie Howe\u2019s job amid Newcastle\u2019s poor form, but Roy Keane feels he\u2019ll get out of danger.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cThey will have to [start turning results around soon].<\/p>\n \u201cThey have nine games in January so they will be tested in terms of the squad. But the one thing with Eddie Howe that we\u2019ve seen over the last few years is that he\u2019s calm with all of this stuff.<\/p>\n \u201cI know there can be extreme reactions up at Newcastle, the same as Sunderland, but he\u2019s a calm influence. He\u2019ll look at these games and they will regroup and they will go again.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ON NEWCASTLE FROM F365: Newcastle should have some respite coming, with their next three games against Burnley, Crystal Palace and Leeds \u2013 two of those sides below them and one just three points above.<\/p>\n Following games in two different cups, they then play bottom side Wolves, so there are certainly chances coming to pick up points and turn things around.<\/p>\n
