Former Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has commended Newcastle United for 'tempering expectations' by refraining from spending colossal amounts since PIF’s takeover in 2021.
Newcastle spent a club record fee of £63 million to sign Alexander Isak in the summer, while Bruno Guimaraes was the marquee signing of the January window.
However, Eddie Howe has made a number of astute signings at a cheaper price, including the likes of Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn and Nick Pope. Newcastle climbed into the top four with another statement victory over Tottenham Hotspur in North London on Sunday.
