'He's the One We Wanted': Newcastle Sign Gonzalez from Man City Newcastle United has made its boldest move yet in the transfer market by signing 24 year old midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City for a reported £50m.
This deal is more than just a shrewd business transaction; it's a statement of intent from new head coach Matthias Jaissle to shake off the perception that Newcastle is a mid table club with modest ambitions.
Gonzalez's arrival at St James' Park is the latest in a long line of high profile signings this summer, including Amar Dedic.
