Hughton still seeking reinforcements
Newcastle boss Chris Hughton remains confident of strengthening his squad further before the transfer window shuts. Hughton has made three signings so far, and of those only James Perch is in line to make his debut in their opening match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday. Sol Campbell is still working his way back to match fitness after leaving Arsenal at the end of last season while Dan Gosling is not scheduled to be fit until the end of the year following knee surgery. And, despite their runaway Championship triumph last season, Hughton knows he must add to a squad that was shorn of a number of players following their relegation two seasons ago. He said: "We're still working, along with other clubs. It is a difficult time and it's about making sure we bring in the right individuals at the right prices. "It's a work in progress. I've continually said we do need to strengthen this squad and I'm still very, very confident that we will do."
