Newcastle United's impressive start to the current Premier League campaign has made the rest of the division sit up and take note. Eddie Howe's side are third at the time of writing and look on course for a European spot come the end of the season.
A key part in the Magpies turnaround from relegation favourites to a European contenders has been their astute work in recent the transfer windows. The days of deliberating over a loan move from a Premier League rival are gone, with PIF setting Howe's side on the right path.
However, despite all their new found riches, there is a chance for them to become even more financially astute in the summer, with a number of top-quality players out of contract at the end of the season. The Toon hierarchy may have the January window in sight, but will also have made a start on plans for next summer.
