Newcastle United want to bring in quality players who understand what it means to play for the club as the Magpies prepare to say goodbye to another stalwart in Dwight Gayle.
Gayle is closing in on a permanent move to Stoke City after six years on Newcastle's books and those at the club have wished the striker well. It is easy to see why.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Newcastle would not even be in the Premier League if it was not for Gayle and the Londoner became the first player since Alan Shearer to score at least 20 league goals in a season when the Magpies won the Championship in 2017. Supporters have certainly not forgotten those crucial strikes against Norwich City and Leeds United, in particular.
