Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa didn't arrive yesterday as planned but I'll be over the moon if we sign 3 defenders in one window!

Brings into question Davide Santon's status, He's been a good lad and has really turned out well but there was rumoured interest from Milan for both Santon and Krul which also ties in with Newcastle supposedly ready to buy Jack Butland but loan him out to Birmingham straight away.

I can't even speculate anymore because I assumed our obvious window was 3 players being a defender, midfielder and a striker.. but we've went out and signed 3 defenders and are actively looking for midfielders and strikers.

Been doing my own bit of scouting, I find it strange nobody is going to take a gamble on Charlie Austin at Burnley, yet to play top flight football but the lad is a goal machine and won't be much of a loss financially if he turns out sour.

On a humorous note, Newcastle United only need 32 trophies to become the most successful team in English Football.
