Eddie Howe has gone in-depth about Newcastle United's transfer policy after a month without adding to their three summer signings so far.
The Newcastle head coach has played down what he perceives as a notion that the Magpies have unlimited funds due to the Middle East investment at St James' Park in the last 12 months. And after a clutch of players opted to sign elsewhere Howe admits he must work with the squad he has as Newcastle head into the first game of the season without a new striker or winger.
Howe said today: "We haven't the free reign, free hand, that maybe had been perceived in the media that we can sign whoever we want and pay extortionate fees and wages. We're not in that position and I don't think we will be for some period of time"
