newcastle has bought 5 players in this transfer window but all of them are not big names like haaland or lewand. I'm sure the newcastle owner is working on a strategy that we can't predict. newcastle will find it difficult to compete with top Premier League clubs because their squad composition is mediocre imo. what still remains a question mark for me is why the new owner of newcastle until now has not made a big transfer, is he short of money LOL.
It isn't money issue, they have plenty but maybe a strategic move? I mean what's the point of spending a lot of money when you face all stars clubs like City, Liverpool and even the others like Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal? They might be planning to recruit progressively players since it isn't easy to convince top players to join a team played most of the season at the relegation zone.
Newcastle needs to recruit at least 5-6 talented players to get a chance to fight for an European spot. So far they only signed 3 new players. A goalkeeper and 2 defenders..
With the FFP regulations, Newcastle were forced to follow the limits of the rules. Spending a lot of money like City in the early days of the acquisition of the United Arab Emirates is not the best option for Newcastle. Although on paper it is trivial. Because the money spent in one transfer window will affect stability in the next transfer market.
If you violate FFP, of course, the risk will be bad for the survival of the club. It will also result in a fine or deduction of points. Therefore, they avoided several high-cost transfers before the club's conditions were settled.
