There is money to spend and a list of targets already being drafted – but there is NO room in Newcastle United’s 25-man Premier League squad.
So it is likely Bruce will shift on players in order to add, as well as try to move the likes of Henri Saivet, Jamie Sterry and Jack Colback out of the club in the winter window.
Here’s a list of 13 players who could be shown the exit door – including some who the manager would be loathe to see depart.

10. Ciaran Clark
A peripheral figure at United at the moment but a very valuable member of the squad. If he wants games may decide to depart, otherwise he will stay put. | Getty Images Photo: Ian MacNicol
11. Martin Dubravka
