So this is the state of play on sky sports transfer centre:

Newcastle

In
Joe Willock - Arsenal, £25m

Out
Florian Lejeune - Alaves, undisclosed
Andy Carroll - contract expired
Henri Saivet - contract expired
Christian Atsu - contract expired
Lewis Cass - Newcastle to Port Vale, loan
Ludwig Francillette - Crawley, free
Jake Turner - Colchester, loan
Kell Watts - Wigan, loan
Matty Longstaff - Aberdeen, loan
Yoshinori Muto - contract terminated

Some hefty wage off the bill, I'd think at least £150K a week.

Yet, still we can't compete with anybody, nor offer wages that players might be willing to accept apperently.

**** sakes.
