Newcastle United players held what could be an emotional farewell for some stars after their 2-1 win at Burnley.
Despite an excellent season, there has been an acceptance behind the scenes that not everybody will be able to stay on next season and for some of the squad, Sunday was their last trip with the Magpies. Question marks are certainly above a number of squad members but Howe will hold talks with many of them this week before heading away on holiday.
Whether Howe's introduction of Matt Ritchie was a farewell gesture remains to be seen but there will certainly be plenty of interest in the 2017 promotion hero. While Dwight Gayle, Karl Darlow and Federico Fernandez are also possible leavers this summer.
