Newcastle boss Eddie Howe pours cold water on moves for Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo

Newcastle United's newly appointed manager, Eddie Howe, has dismissed rumors linking the club with high-profile signings such as Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.



In an interview with Sky Sports, Howe stated that while he is always looking to strengthen his squad, he believes that signing players of that caliber would not be realistic at this time.


"We have to be realistic about what we can achieve in the transfer market," said Howe. "While we would love to sign players like Neymar or Ronaldo, the reality is that it would not be feasible for us at this moment in time."


Howe went on to explain that Newcastle United is currently in a rebuilding phase, and that his focus is on building a solid foundation for the future.


"We have to be patient and build something sustainable here," he said. "We can't just throw money at big-name players and hope that it will solve all our problems. We need to build a team that can compete at the highest level, and that takes time."


The rumors linking Newcastle with Neymar and Ronaldo had been circulating for several weeks, with many fans and pundits speculating that the club's new owners would be willing to spend big in order to attract top talent.




However, Howe's comments suggest that the club's new owners are taking a more cautious approach to spending, at least in the short term.


"Of course we want to compete with the best teams in the world," said Howe. "But we have to be sensible about how we go about it. We need to build a solid foundation, both on and off the pitch, and then we can start thinking about bringing in top players."


Howe's comments will likely disappoint some Newcastle fans who had been hoping for a big-name signing to kick-start the club's revival. However, they will also be welcomed by those who believe that the club needs to take a more measured approach to its spending.


Newcastle United has a history of overspending on players who have failed to live up to their potential, and Howe's comments suggest that the club's new owners are keen to avoid repeating past mistakes.


Instead, it appears that the focus will be on developing young talent and building a team that can compete over the long term.


"We have some talented young players at the club, and we want to give them the opportunity to develop and grow," said Howe. "We also want to attract the best young talent from around the world, and build a team that can compete at the highest level for years to come."


While some fans may be disappointed by the lack of big-name signings, there is no doubt that Newcastle United is in a period of transition. The club has new owners, a new manager, and a renewed sense of optimism after years of underachievement.



Howe's comments suggest that the club's new owners are willing to take a patient approach to building a successful team, and that they are focused on the long-term future of the club.


In the short term, this may mean that fans have to be patient and accept that the club may not be able to compete with the likes of Manchester City or Chelsea for the top players in the world.


However, if Howe and the club's new owners can build a solid foundation and develop a team that can compete at the highest level over the long term, then Newcastle United fans may have plenty to be excited about in the years to come

Researchers Match Up 12 Meteorites with the Near-Earth Asteroids They Came From

Every day meteoroids blast through our planet’s atmosphere to hit the ground as meteorites. A team of researchers in Italy traced twelve of them to progenitor asteroids that orbit in near-Earth space. Scientists treasure meteorites because they reveal information about their parent bodies. In an arXiv paper, two Italian researchers—Albino Carbognani and Marco Fenucci—analyze the characteristics of the parent bodies of 20 selected meteorites. They were able to track all but eight back to their parent asteroids. Based on their work, the pair says at least a quarter of meteorites come from collisions that happened in near-Earth space and not in the Main Belt. Meteorites from Near-Earth Asteroids: How They Got Here Many meteorites are chondritic, similar to asteroids in the Main Belt (or came from it). In their paper, the authors point out that progenitor meteoroids (including many that fall to Earth and become meteorites) formed millions of years ago following collisions between main-...

JWST Takes a Detailed Look at Jupiter’s Moon Ganymede

Nature doesn’t conform to our ideas of neatly-contained categories. Many things in nature blur the lines we try to draw around them. That’s true of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, the largest moon in the Solar System. The JWST took a closer look at Ganymede, the moon that’s kind of like a planet, to understand its surface better. Ganymede is basically a planet, except it doesn’t orbit the Sun. If it did orbit the Sun instead of Jupiter, it would be indistinguishable from a planet. It has a differentiated internal structure with a molten core that produces a magnetic field. It has a silicon mantle much like Earth’s, and has a complex icy crust with a deep ocean submerged beneath it. It has an atmosphere, though it’s thin. It’s also larger than Mercury, and almost as large as Mars. According to the authors of a new study, it’s an archetype of a water world. But even with all this knowledge of the huge moon, there are details yet to be revealed. This is especially true of its complex surface...

What Blew Up the Local Bubble?

In our neighborhood of the Milky Way, we see a region surrounding the solar system that is far less dense than average. But that space, that cavity, is a very irregular, elongated shape. What little material is left inside of this cavity is insanely hot, as it has a temperature of around a million Kelvin. from Universe Today https://ift.tt/KvVDeiC via IFTTT
