Getting the right players matters most, not the speed getting in players: Newcastle chief

NEWCASTLE: Eddie Howe admitted he has a dose of transfer frustration just seven days before Newcastle United head into Premier League battle.

The Magpies recorded an impressive 1-0 win over Serie A side Atalanta at St. James’ Park on Friday evening thanks to a Chris Wood penalty.

And while Howe was content with what he saw from his current crop, he has revealed that he had hoped for better news on a frontline recruit before now.

“I probably wouldn’t have hoped to have been in that situation but that’s the transfer window,” Howe said.
