Let us view Newcastle United long term and not match by match. The Magpies have looked as though they will not go down since they embarked on their recent nine-match unbeaten run and it increasingly appears to be three to go from Norwich, Watford, Burnley and Everton.
That being the case what have United to do in their second window of opportunity this summer after having a good January in the transfer market? Eddie Howe and the owners have to be tough and make unsentimental decisions for the good of the club and I am sure they will.
That being the case I would buy a centre-forward to replace Chris Wood who could drop to the bench and I would sell Allan Saint-Maximin to free up decent money to boost the rebuilding pot. First and foremost United desperately require a focal point to their attack. As things stand now they are flying by the seat of their pants.
