Newcastle temporarily escape

 Newcastle temporarily escape


Newcastle United's outstanding performance does not only stem from the fact that this team spends heavily on the transfer market. The talent of coach Eddie Howe also needs to be recognized.

A month ago, Newcastle was at the bottom of the Premier League table with only 11 points after 19 matches. More than 4 weeks later, they exited the relegation group with 21 points from 23 games. 3 consecutive victories and 1 draw in the English Premier League helped "Chicken" find a ray of light in the race to stay in the top division of the foggy country this season.

The 8th most expensive Premier League squad

Experts and fans easily mention the large amount of money Newcastle spent in the January 2022 market, as an explanation for the high performance of this team. Since the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) completed the acquisition of Newcastle, the Tyneside team has become a giant in the transfer market.


In just one month of the last winter market, Newcastle bought nearly half of the new squad. 5 rookies of "Shoot" including Dan Burn, Bruno Guimaraes, Matt Targett, Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood spent more than 105 million pounds.


No club in the top 5 European leagues spent more than Newcastle in the January transfer window. Juventus is the second ranked team after Newcastle, also spending only £ 102 million. Meanwhile, Barcelona, ​​the team ranked 3rd, only spent 55 million pounds on shopping.


The value of the St James' Park home club squad is now at £297.7 million (valuation from Chronicle Live), ranking 8th in the Premier League. In terms of player value, Newcastle is now like a decent English club, not a team racing to stay in the Premier League.


The value of Tottenham Hotspur's squad at the moment is only £ 265.2 million. Newcastle's star cast is only behind Leicester City (£305.8m), Everton (£336.5m) and 5 other big British giants such as Arsenal, Man United, Man City, Chelsea or Liverpool.


Meanwhile, 3 teams in the relegation group of the Premier League have a very poor squad value far from Newcastle. Burnley (£90.6m), Norwich City and Watford (£83.4m each) all have squad values ​​that are modest in the league.


Alan Shearer, the legend of Newcastle, highly appreciated the efforts from the leadership of "Shoot" in the past time. "The January transfer market is always very difficult, so Newcastle's signing of Chris Wood makes a lot of sense," commented the former England striker.


He continued: "Newcastle needs a striker like Wood, and they directly undermine the Burnley relegation competitor."


Newcastle broke the record for a player over the age of 30 in English football, spending £ 25 million to buy Wood from Burnley. The signing of the striker born in 1991 is a testament to the financial strength of the Newcastle owners.


The Saudi investors made an offer Burnley could not refuse. Burnley coach Sean Dyche thinks they sold Wood for a good price. The New Zealand striker has not scored or assisted since arriving at Newcastle. The first half season playing for Burnley, Wood scored 3 goals.


In Newcastle's impressive form last time, Guimaraes, the club's most expensive January contract from Lyon (the price can be up to 40 million pounds), has not started a match. The Brazilian midfielder only had a short time on the field from the bench and did not leave much of an impression.


Right-back Trippier, signed for 12 million pounds from Atletico Madrid, is a rookie who has left a strong impression in Newcastle's recent series of matches. He scored 2 goals in 4 main matches, becoming the trigger on the right wing of the home team at St James' Park.
