Paul Merson says if Steve Bruce had signed the players Eddie Howe signed ‘there would have been uproar’ as he casts doubt on Newcastle’s survival hopes.
The former Arsenal midfielder told Sky Sports that after spending more than £90m in the transfer window Newcastle United should be favourites to stay up but he does not believe they are.
Instead, he pointed to the club’s failure to bring in another forward and compared Newcastle unfavourably to fellow relegation battlers Watford.
