Newcastle United's summer transfer window has been a mix of highs and lows, with the club securing some key signings but also missing out on several top targets. As the deadline passed, fans were left wondering what could have been if the Magpies had landed all their desired players.
The Ones That Got Away
Among the notable misses was a failed pursuit of a prolific striker, with negotiations collapsing at the eleventh hour. Another high-profile midfielder opted for a rival club despite strong interest from St James' Park.
Impact on the Squad
Eddie Howe now faces the challenge of making do with his current roster. While Newcastle have strengthened in some areas, the missed opportunities could prove costly in their push for European football.
Fan Reaction
The Toon Army have taken to social media to express their frustration, with many questioning the club's transfer strategy. Some remain optimistic, pointing to the quality already in the squad.
As the new season progresses, only time will tell if these transfer misses come back to haunt Newcastle's ambitions.
