Howe will walk away from any deal that threatens disruption

NEWCASTLE United chiefs believe that Eddie Howe is not even halfway through his transfer mission at St James' Park - and will not be pushed into panic deals in the current window.

With PSR restrictions still a hurdle for United, the Magpies are prepared to walk away from any deals that threaten to break their financial structure at St James!

Do Newcastle have money to spend? Yes. However, they won't pay over the odds on valuations with each target carefully assessed by Newcastle's data driven recruitment team in the past few months.

Howe is eager to make that first signing of the summer, but the Magpies have been told to bid up on both Joao Pedro, Anthony Elanga, and James Trafford already in this window, while other high quotes have come their way on a B list.
