Newcastle United's January transfer window was undoubtedly one of the key factors in their Premier League survival last season. However, not all pundits were impressed by that business at the time of asking.
Paul Merson and Danny Murphy both claimed the January business lacked a 'wow factor' that would keep Eddie Howe's side in the division. However, the Magpies head coach has been proven right to bring in the likes of Matt Targett and Dan Burn, both of whom have made impressive starts to the current campaign.
The Newcastle left-back was one of those name-dropped by Merson, but the former Aston Villa defender has proven his Jack Grealish claim to be incorrect.
