"Let us know when it falls through" - Lots of Magpies fans react to potential late deal

Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to react after The Chronicle revealed that talks are underway over the signing of Benfica defensive midfielder Andreas Samaris, who would join the club on loan if a deal were to materialise.

The 29-year-old is a player of some pedigree, having played for the Greek national team for many years now, and would be a welcome addition to a squad in desperate need of fresh faces to give them a boost in their battle for survival. Samaris is an excellent passer of the ball and poses a threat from set pieces.

The Tynesiders have until 11pm on Thursday to wrap up some deals that they desperately need, as well as ones that would ensure that their Spanish boss remains at the club having grown tired at Mike Ashley’s reluctance to back him in the market, as per The Daily Mail.

Let’s see how the club’s fans reacted to the news on Twitter…

A defensive midfielder to fit straight into our system perfectly, he can sit alongside his defensive midfield partner in front of our back 5

Genuine question Lee no malice intended but don’t you get fed up writing these knowing full well they ain’t gonna happen? The amount of interested in linked with looking at stories you’ve wrote against the incomings etc etc

Talks for a loan player with a normal club should take minutes there is minimal haggling, then we have Newcastle next jo manage to make a loan deal days/ weeks to complete for it all to crash at the final hurdle . Bloody ridiculous

Why are we not going for Charlie Austin we need goals not defenders or CDM and he’s available it’s a no brained notcthat he’d be interested in coming why would anyone

Really inspiring singings ? the team is crying out for some creativity/goals so we go after a defensive midfielder and defender

Samaris coming in would be just to allow them to sell Hayden and make their usual bit of window profit
