Eddie Howe has admitted that the 'narrative' around Newcastle United has changed after Premier League rivals put up the asking prices for players and his side were booed off the field at Anfield.
Although Newcastle did sign Matt Targett from Aston Villa, and Nick Pope from relegated Burnley, the Magpies were unable to land a number of other targets with top-flight experience. Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers, for instance, quipped £40m 'might just cover three-quarters' of James Maddison's left leg while, similarly, Leeds CEO Angus Kinnear said one offer the club received for Jack Harrison would only be enough for his right leg,
Newcastle also did not have any joy in bringing in players on loan from other Premier League clubs, like they have in the past, which perhaps shows how Howe's side are now perceived as they bid to upset the established order.
