Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has today bought struggling high street retailer House of Fraser for a reported sum of £90m. The news is likely to cause more consternation among NUFC fans, who are already upset at Ashley for not supporting manager Rafa Benitez in the recently concluded summer transfer window.
Newcastle have sold more than what they’ve bought this summer, and with the likes of Fulham, Wolves and Everton spending heavily, it would seem difficult to expect Benitez to repeat his 10th place finish from last season.
In net transfer terms, Newcastle are the lowest spending Premier League club in the 2018/19 season- approximately minus £28m. They will begin their campaign this weekend against Tottenham Hotspur.

Martinez’s comments praising KdB
We had playmakers who would slow the game down, Kevin is different, he goes even faster. His level of execution is exceptional. Apart from goalkeeper, he could play in any position at a high level
De Bruyne was a key factor in Belgium’s upset win over the Brazilians, with his spectacular goal earning him the MOTM award. He, along with Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku, were a constant threat to the Brazilian back four of Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Miranda and Fagner all evening.
The winner of Belgium’s semifinal against Les Bleus will take on either Croatia or England in the final.
