Player Valuation: £500k
The problem is you've spent around £83 million and the team is still light years away from the top 6 never mind top 4.
Thats when the reality soon dawns on the Newcastle fans expecting a title push in the next few years of the farce that FFP is as you simply cant afford the players that really push you up there (not just the fees but the wages).
Nobody in their right mind is giving a moment's thought to the title, top 4, top 6, even top 16. The problem is we've spent £83million and still might not be good enough to stay up, is what you should have said, and I would have agreed.
Lofty aspirations are a world away and any Newcastle fan thinking that the title is on the horizon wants their head checking. Thankfully I think those people are few and far between, but then again I'm not on the oh-so-reliable cross-section of humanity that is Twitter, so I could be wrong.
We need to stay up first and foremost and the business conducted this window increases the possibility of that happening, though I don't feel great about Watford appointing a bona fide survival specialist.
