Eddie Howe says he knew Newcastle United's incoming business was completed with four hours to spare in the summer transfer window.
A deal for Harrison Ashby did not go through because demands and assurances from West Ham proved too much. But Howe was still delighted with work in the window this year.
At his Press conference, he said today: "A very good window for us, I think. From my side, I had a clear vision of what I wanted it to be and it's never perfect but from the board down everyone's given their all to create the best squad possible."
