Newcastle United fans here in the bar at the Football Transfer Tavern are coming out of the international break looking forward to the return of the Premier League.

Their win last time out against the Hammers was the Magpies’ first win of the season following a disastrous start which saw Benitez’s men go down 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur which was followed by a lacklustre performance in their second game in which they lost to fellow new boys Huddersfield Town.

These results paired with the lack of activity in the transfer window did worry the Newcastle fans in the Tavern, however, with a manager having the pedigree of Rafa Benitez and a squad that is still full to the brim, the Geordies in the Tavern believe things are on the up for their side.

However, some of the Magpies in the Tavern are still not confident and they would like to see some players given more chances to shine before they deliver the verdict on whether their squad can hack it in the Premier League.

Our landlord, as ever, has listened in on the discussion and he has outlined two players that Benitez must give a chance too.

Check them out here…
