Newcastle United fans are still catching their breath after an epic transfer window which saw the Magpies spend over £100million.
That takes the total of spending on first-team players to over £200million since the Saudi-backed takeover back in October last year and leaves Newcastle in a much stronger position in the top-flight. Planning for January is already under way with scouts already jetting around Europe to look at new targets.
But despite talk of Newcastle being "another Man City" the shopping at St James' Park has been sensible bringing in top class players at reasonable prices given their age and potential.
