Newcastle United’s star-studded new-look starting XI if transfer spend restrictions are lifted: photos

Both Manchester City and the Premier League have claimed victory from the arbitration case surrounding Associated Party Transactions after the findings were published on Monday. Whilst City have doubled down on what they believe could mark a transformational moment in the top-flight, some experts, including Stefan Borson, have come out to explain that this ruling is unlikely to mean clubs now have free reign to sign any sponsorship agreements they like.

The fallout from this case is likely to rumble on over the next few weeks and even months and Newcastle United will undoubtedly have an eye on what, if any, rules are changed as they look to increase their commercial revenues. If they are able to increase those revenues, then being able to spend more on transfers whilst being able to stay within the confines of PSR becomes a real possibility.

The Magpies, since the takeover of the club three years ago, have been fairly restrained in their spending because of PSR and haven’t had a blank chequebook to spend, as many thought they may have had once the takeover was completed. Here, for a bit of fun, we take a look at what Newcastle United’s star-studded starting XI could look like if the club were able to spend freely on transfers on a few players that have been linked with a move to the club in the past.
