Newcastle United have made their mind up on their THREE loan players – but Steve Bruce thinks deal talks could drag out
Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has revealed he’s made his decision on whether to keep or bin the Magpies’ three January loan signings.

But the manager does not expect the deals – if any – will be concluded before the start of the summer transfer window on Monday, July 27.
After the loss of the likes of Jetro Willems and Paul Dummett to injury, the Magpies moved to tie down Valentino Lazaro, Danny Rose and Nabil Bentaleb to temporary deals from Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Schalke 04.
While Lazaro’s near £20 million deal is unlikely to be made permanent, it is understood Rose, who has no future at Spurs, may be on that is pursued. Bentaleb remains up in the air, with the asking price low, but wages astronomically high.
"We have to have negotiations with their clubs to see where they are at, what they want, the rest of it,” said Bruce, who is likely to give the trio more game time in the final two Premier League games of the season, starting v Brighton tomorrow night.
