They lost to Manchester City today and showed that they are a little off this level. In fact, Newcastle United have turned into a good team this season. But they need more transfers to become a better team. If the Arab capital does something about this next year, they can be among the top four teams in the Premier League. I think they need a good striker. Maybe if they make a surprise in the summer transfer window and include Mbappe in the team, we can talk about them differently next year.
Newcastle need a new striker for sure, they missed some very good opportunities they had to score and get the game level when Manchester City were just still a goal ahead, they will surely regret it as it will pose a major setback to their plans to finish fourth this season.
Manchester United are not slowing down and the gunners don't need to as well. Against AFC Bournemouth, we have to be clinical with our chances to ensure that the five point lead is maintained.
They have plenty of money now, probably the richest owner in all of sports world as of right now, so if they want to buy a striker, they can buy anyone they want.
However, financial fair play is still a thing and they can't just spend whatever they want, no idea how Chelsea did it, that was something unreal to see, I still think that something about Chelsea will come out in day light one day and they will get punished, no way a team could spend close to 600 million in a single year without having any financial fair play trouble. All in all I am guessing that the best thing for them is to just spend the max they are allowed on big names, because that will open the doors for everyone else.
