If Newcastle acquires new players, especially top players, it will greatly enhance their chances of winning in the upcoming season. However, it seems that they prefer to bring in young players with significant potential and talent to strengthen their squad and serve as future investments.
I agree with you, because clubs in England really have to have two good players in every position or solid reserves because a team in the premier league has to play in five competitions and if they don't have solid reserves they will be overwhelmed like Man Unitet or Liverpool last season. this is the quality of the core and backup players are very much different.
If Newcastle wants to be able to compete in the UCL league, they have to bring in several star players. With a squad like now it's difficult to compete. They will take part in a lot of competition next season. Hopefully British representatives like Newcastle can give a decent fight next season.
