Despite their enormous wealth, Newcastle United operated fairly reasonably during this summer’s transfer window.
Although the Magpies broke their record transfer fee with Alexsander Isak, who was signed by Real Sociedad for around £60m, the rest of the Toon’s business was very modest.
Deadline Day saw no new additions with the only activity coming from goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who joined Manchester United on loan with an option to buy.

Speaking about Toon’s transfer policy and how it affected the club’s activity in the summer window, particularly on deadline day, Sky Sports’ Keith Downie said: “What made it harder for Newcastle to do a deal in the Deadline Day was Eddie Howe’s insistence on the right characters and personalities to augment his squad.
“He doesn’t sign players for the sake of adding a number.”
