Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says that he and the club's owners must "adjust" to being viewed differently by rival clubs.
The Magpies were linked with a move for Conor Gallagher of Chelsea on deadline day but a fee of £45million was understood to be the demand. And that was only to certain clubs - with Palace among them - as Newcastle were told a loan deal was not even on the table for them.
Given Chelsea signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a British record £106million, you'd think they would be keen to clear the decks a little. But the Gallagher deal seemed to sum up a day of slight disappointment on deadline day for the Magpies.
