With the above, I am meaning realistically these Newcastle United players can’t be improved upon at this point. If money was absolutely no object and you could go out and buy what you consider the best 11 players in the world, then naturally that would be a different matter.
So anyway, for me this is where we are at, despite now showing real ambition in the transfer market, seven Newcastle United players where NUFC can’t realistically go out and bring in better options. Similarly, with Martin Dubravka it is obviously not judging him on last season. Only the one Premier League start. Instead, he has shown from February 2018 onwards that he is a quality Premier League level keeper and could / would easily be a PL number one at another club next season, so a big boost if Eddie Howe can keep him as number two to Nick Pope.
