Alan Shearer Urges Newcastle to Sign Defender

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has voiced his concerns about the club's current state, suggesting that 'something doesn't look right' following a disappointing start to the season. He highlighted the team's lack of energy and spark during matches, specifically criticizing their performance in a recent draw against Bournemouth, where they were deemed lucky to escape with a point due to a controversial VAR decision. Shearer emphasized the need for Newcastle to secure a significant signing, specifically urging the club to bring in defender Marc Guehi before the transfer window closes. He feels that failing to make such a signing would reflect poorly on the club's leadership amid a tumultuous summer marked by managerial changes and uncertainty surrounding player acquisitions. Despite a win against Southampton, Shearer noted that even in that match, Newcastle struggled, particularly when reduced to ten men. Overall, he expressed his hope that his concerns are unfounded but remains skeptical about the team's direction under current conditions.
