Those were the strong words of Newcastle Fans TV's Lee Lawler, who gave his views to Sky Sports News presenter Pete Graves along with fellow Toon supporter Rob Speareall.

Newcastle brought in seven players over the summer, with manager Rafael Benitez admitting he would have to "wheel and deal" in the transfer window.
