The January transfer window has been open for a week and much like 12 months ago, it has been a quiet few days on the transfer front not just at Newcastle United, but around the Premier League. Clubs up and down the division are worried about PSR whilst buying players is always a difficult task in a winter window that often has very unwilling sellers.
