“One thing we need to keep is the spirit and enthusiasm we had last season. That, for me, is one of the most important things.”
Although members of the press have kindly informed Hughton that he will have no money whatsoever to spend on new players, Newcastle’s deluded manager insisted that he has been out trawling for new faces at the club. On this he added:
“We know what we need to do to the squad, we’re identifying the players we need to bring in.”
Hughton then added he has been taking a more ‘hands on’ approach in the hunt now that last season is over, saying:
“I’ve managed to get out to quite a few games in a couple of countries.
“During the season, I didn’t get out to as many games as I would have liked because of our fixtures.”
Continuing, he suggested that he knew what the priorities were for the squad, put wisely kept his cards close to his chest as regards naming what they are:
“We’re aware of what we have to do to the squad, and the areas we need to strengthen, and also the cover we need.
“I don’t think there’ll be a lot of players coming in, but we need a squad capable of competing in the Premier League.
“I can certainly see players coming in, but I don’t see wholesale changes.”
Hughton finally moved on to the perpetual press speculation, and how he has been happy with his previous dealings, concluding:
“A lot of names will be thrown at us, and a lot of names will leak out to the Press.
“For a lot of them, there’ll be absolutely nothing in them at all. We have to accept that.
“What we’ve managed to do well is bring in some players in the right way.”
Here’s to hoping it continues in the next few months…
I dearnt leave a comment really, just in case I come across as ignorant.
