Newcastle sign a right Dedic from Benfia £25 million in 3 days. Something must be wrong on our negotiating team. We looked at this fella months ago.

Newcastle have something like £250m in sales to play with. They can probably be more flexible with transfer fees.

And there'll have been 'looking at him' for much longer than 3 days.

3 days eh? With insider info like that why don't you impart something to us mear mortals about what's left in store for us mushrooms this window?

Just because we might have looked at him months ago doesn't mean we liked what we saw.

Do you really believe that it only took 3 days to sign him? If anything, this highlights how a recruitment team works behind the scenes without much input from a manager, possibly part of the reason why Howe decided to leave them.
