Eddie Howe has urged Newcastle United players to ‘do everything they can’ to finish the season strongly ahead of a ‘hugely important’ summer window.
Howe has a ‘clear vision’ of what he wants, specifically signings that will ‘move us forward’, but this appears to be another phase of evolution rather than revolution on Tyneside. The fact is that the majority of these players helped Newcastle go from relegation to the Champions League in just 18 months, and they have kept the club in the running for Europe this season despite the roster being destroyed by injury.
Newcastle would also face a significant challenge in replacing a large number of players at once, given the high expense of bringing in multiple excellent replacements in a single window while adhering to financial constraints. However, given Howe’s daily assessments, there is more than just a place in the Europa League or Europa Conference League at stake in the run-in, and the Newcastle manager did not conceal his disappointment after Wednesday night’s 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

“We must do everything we can to deliver the finest performances possible. That is the standard every time you represent this football club, and that is what I will urge the players to do.
