Newcastle United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with a move for Everton midfielder James McCarthy.
According to The Daily Mail, the Championship club are interested in signing McCarthy from Premier League outfit Everton before the end of the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez is keen on signing the Republic of Ireland international midfielder should Everton persist in talks over Moussa Sissoko.
The 25-year-old has been on the books of the Toffees since the summer of 2013 when he joined them from Wigan Athletic.

McCarthy scored two goals and created 14 chances in 29 Premier League appearances for Everton during the 2015-16 campaign.
So far this season, the former Wigan midfielder has featured in both league matches for the Merseyside outfit.
Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with a move for McCarthy this month.
