Newcastle United fans would enjoy a late flurry of transfer action at St James’ Park.
Eddie Howe is looking for reinforcements, with Newcastle United struggling to bolster their team during the summer transfer season.
In January, the Magpies did not make any signings, as was the case in December. Despite the need for a centre-back and a winger.
They’ve tried, though. Newcastle came close to signing Abdukodir Khusanov, but were unable to complete the transaction because to PSR. Newcastle sought to sign Juma Bah. However, like Khusanov, he has joined Manchester City.
With Miguel Almiron ready to leave, Newcastle will benefit from increased PSR. More players could depart Newcastle before the transfer window ends on Monday night.
Newcastle United wait for a ‘chance’ despite the reality of the January transfer window.
However, Eddie Howe is unlikely to refresh his squad in the coming days.
That is according to Sky Sports presenter and Newcastle United fan Pete Graves, who has spoken about the Magpies’ transfer position on the current episode of the Transfer Talk podcast.
“Whether we see any movement from Newcastle… He stated, “I’m not hearing anything right now that there will be anything.”
“They have loan potential, but I don’t believe Eddie Howe is the kind to bring in players just for the purpose of it.
“We will see if an opportunity presents itself in the dying days of the window.”
Newcastle United seek to benefit from taking large risks.
It seems absurd to assume that Newcastle United will enter the second half of the season with Jacob Murphy as their sole right winger. But not just any season, but one in which Newcastle is vying for trophies and a spot in next season’s Champions League.
In the short term, Newcastle must sign someone. Eddie Howe needs another body.
However, that is not his long-term goal, and Paul Mitchell will similarly adopt a long-term approach to Newcastle’s recruitment.
Any mistakes made by the Magpies now will come back to haunt them later, when PSR is truly their master.
It is a huge gamble, but not spending in January will put Newcastle in a stronger position for the summer. Unless the perfect deal comes up between now and Monday’s deadline, Newcastle United is unlikely to be active in the market.
