BREAKING: In the event that 46-year-old Newcastle United coach Eddie Howe is courageous enough, Newcastle United already has a winger solution worth 35 million pounds

If Eddie Howe is brave enough, Newcastle United already has a winger for £35 million.

Newcastle fans and Eddie Howe have been talking all summer about how they need a good outside right to help them get back to European play.

People hoped, even assumed, that the transfer window would lead to a solution. Maybe the answer is inside the team, and it can be used when Spurs visit St. James’ Park on Sunday. Antony Gordon would stay on the left side, and Harvey Barnes would play on the right wing. Not the other way around.

The two of them are good players, and this is one way to get all of your good players on the field.

I paid close attention to Barnes during the Carabao Cup game at Nottingham Forest. Whenever he got the ball, he cut inside. He should play on the right side of the field if he is that good with his right foot. That way, he can make the field bigger and get crosses in. He is making the field smaller on the left by cutting inside, which is not what you want from a center forward. I should know. Gordon, not Barnes, can go in any direction, so he’s fine where he is.

Howe could also try something else at some point, either during the game or right away.

I saw that when Lee Carsley gave Tino Livramento his first England call-up, he talked about how flexible the kid is and how he can play both left back and right wing. He is certainly good enough with the ball to play high up the field, so Eddie could put him in front of Kieran Trippier. It’s an idea.

I want to congratulate Livramento on being picked for England. I really like him, and I’m glad that his skills have been noticed. Also, I’m glad that Nick Pope is back on the world stage and that Anthony Gordon got a second chance after being turned down at the Euros. I think Howe doesn’t always have a Plan B during games. Not just making changes for substitutions, but also being able to do something a little different to make the other team think. If you want to play, you should think about Barnes on the right or Tino in front of Tripps.

United will have a tough game against Spurs. This is their first game against a Super Six team after playing three regular Premier League teams so far. Now that the trade window is closed, United needs to move on. Can they handle it?

Well, Sandro Tonali is a huge plus, and he really does look like a new player. At the City Ground, I thought he was great. He was up to speed on the game and had a good touch for someone who hadn’t played in 10 months. Because the boy is a racehorse, he can handle anything, and he will keep getting better.

His body language was very different when he first arrived, but now Tonali seems to be enjoying his football. He will also find it much easier to settle in now that he knows English. Everyone thinks that Tonali, Bruno, and Joelinton will be United’s main three, but if I had to choose one, I’d pick Sean Longstaff over Big Joe right now.

After a great game against Southampton, the big Brazilian has had two awful games and looks really out of sorts while Longstaff works hard in the background. What I thought was clear was how they both dealt with their penalties in the shootout. Joelinton didn’t seem sure of himself before he missed his, but Longstaff was rock solid on the pressure kick that could win it for his team. Yes, Joelinton will come back and be a force, but he is having a hard time right now.

Spurs has some good players and is strong going forward, but they let you have chances and SJP is a bad place for them to play. United needs to go after them, and if they do, with the crowd’s help, they can be in a good spot going into the break.
