"
It feels like last summer’s Newcastle United transfer window has had an enormous impact on this current one. With Elanga and Wissa misfiring all campaign and Ramsey taking a while to show his quality, I wonder if the board are nervous of making the same mistakes and potentially overpaying for another underwhelming signing.
