Eddie Howe admits he must get the balance right with his Newcastle United transfer business going into the January window.
Last winter, United signed Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, Bruno Guimaraes, Matt Targett and Chris Wood. But this time around the urgency levels are lower, and Howe knows that he won't get a free hit when it comes to finances.
Howe said: "We are in a very different position to where we were last year. We knew we needed to add good numbers to get through the door to try to lift the group.
