I’ve been saying for a while that Newcastle’s first choice goalkeeper target this summer would be James Trafford.
But there is a lot to work through. He spent a long time last summer telling people he was signing for
#nufc and it didn’t happen as Man City swooped in.
Naturally there has to be caution. It is my understanding he has made positive noises again about wanting to play for Newcastle again recently.
But it’s a difficult deal and will be expensive in terms of both fee and wages.
I think he would be a great signing. So do Newcastle’s recruitment team but it’s a tricky one to pull off. Let’s see what happens.
