Miguel Almiron is Newcastle’s record signing

And broadly speaking that gives us what we have to spend in a year. Its not difficult to do the maths thats what we have to spend.In addition to that, you then have the funds generated from player sales.We would look to spend our budget on a small number of high-quality players, rather than dilute the money over so many.Wed then look to supplement this with loans. We want players that can make a difference and improve the team.

We want to be competitive at every level and in every competition.The idea we turn up every year just hoping to survive just isnt correct.We want to improve but do so sustainably.Newcastles surplus figure was 58.7million at the end of the 2017/18 season and it is expected to be around 50million over the next two years.Charnley wants quality over quantity of players, which means that they could break their record signing.4

Salomon Rondon is high on Benitez’s wish list

They paid 21million for Miguel Almiron in the January transfer window.One of the players believed to be high up on Benitezs wish list is Salomon Rondon, who is currently on loan from West Bromwich Albion. Charnley also revealed plans are in place to revamp their current training facilities but believes the 15-20million needed would be better served improving the team, in the short term.He also confirmed the club are planning for Mike Ashley to carry on as owner but did not rule out a takeover in the future.
