With news breaking that Eddie Howe is leaving Newcastle, many Gooners were quick to wonder whether an accepted offer from Arsenal for Bruno Guimarães would quickly follow, which, of course, still could happen. There is a chance he watched a 4-1 defeat at Bristol City and realised how far the club has fallen from European qualification. If Guimarães is allowed to join the champions, it would mean the Magpies losing almost their entire midfield in one swoop. I don’t believe Eddie Howe agreed to stay for a few extra weeks simply to oversee a transitional period. Dan SmithDo you think Eddie Howe’s departure is linked to Newcastle potentially losing Bruno Guimarães, or are the two situations completely unrelated?
