The idea of a Ruben Loftus Cheek loan move has gathered momentum in recent days, and yesterday we asserted that we would rather see a move to a top Championship team than see the midfielder go elsewhere in the Premier League just to sit on the bench again.
Since then a temporary switch to Newcastle has been mooted, and it does seem like the perfect plan for RLC. They are a team made up of mostly Premier League quality players, with a top manager, largely dominating the Championship.
Not only that, but according to the North East Chronicle, he plays in a position which the Magpies could use some cover in. With Johnjo Shelvey facing time out banned with no obvious replacement in the squad, a strong midfielder with attacking instincts could be just what the North East side need to solidify their considerable lead at the top of the division.
