Newcastle United are said to want a trio of West Bromwich Albion players in total.
West Bromwich Albion fans are reacting to reports linking the Baggies players Jake Livermore and Kieran Gibbs with Newcastle United.
According to Teamtalk, Newcastle are keen to sign the pair, alongside their on-loan West Brom striker, Salomon Rondon, this summer.
And the website claims the Magpies are ready to use the two players they loaned to the Hawthorns, Dwight Gayle and Jacob Murphy, as bait – and could also throw in Isaac Hayden, who is said to have expressed an interest in joining the Albion.
It adds that Newcastle have been told by West Brom the Baggies will only consider such an arrangement if they fail to gain promotion this season.
But what do those of an Albion persuasion make of the rumour?
This is what they’re saying on Twitter…
Gayle and Murphy in exchange for Rondon, Livermore and Gibbs.Are they taking the ******* piss?

Cheeky ***** !!
The England internationals Livermore and Gibbs are under contract until 2022 and 2021 respectively, but are thought to be among the highest earners at the Hawthorns, which could convince the Baggies to sell if they remain a Championship club.
Is Livermore, Gibbs and Rondon for Gayle and Murphy a fair deal?
