Lee Bowyer is the only summer signing, and he was free!

The club rubbished reports last month that they were strapped for cash, and new faces could arrive at St James' Park in the winter.

He said: "Maybe we will just sit tight and wait and see what happens until Christmas.

"And at Christmas we might say there's a loophole here, there's a loophole there, there's a piece of jigsaw there so let's do something.

"If we get into the Champions League, by the time we qualify the transfer window will be shut.

"We already have a lot of players here ourselves so we are not short of any players going into the season."
