Eddie Howe admits it's not been a 'brilliant transfer window' after failing to sign centre-back and right wing targets

Eddie Howe admits it's not been a 'brilliant transfer window' after failing to sign centre-back and right wing targetsover their £70m asking price, with Howe admitting it will be “difficult” to broker transfers with so little time left.

Their move for Guehi became protracted and played out in public, adding to frustration among the fanbase. On Thursday night those close to Howe suggested FFP rather than friction with those above was the reasons for Newcastle’s inactivity. On Friday he said the same in public and he was not in the mood for shifting or apportioning blame.

“Everyone has tried, really really hard to improve the squad to make sure we’ve got a chance of success. “But again, Brighton have historically sold players, they’ve brought in a lot of revenue and income and we haven’t. “Everything that we do has a long-term consequence. So you’ve got to be very sure whatever you do is right for the long-term future and short-term future of the club.”It is probably time for Mitchell to speak publicly and for Eales – criticised in some quarters for appearing on stage at the new STACK fanzone at St James’ Park earlier this month – to front up again. Because many of the big calls this month simply haven’t been made by Howe.
