I only caught this on Radio Newcastle so whatever follows is partly second-hand but…

On another slow Newcastle United news day, Jose Enrique has urged the club to capitalise on the fantastic start to the season by adding the extra players needed to give us the best shot at finishing the promotion job off.
It appears Jose is fearful of the fact that losing too many players could jeopardize [...]

Two months (and a bit) on from the last review, with the transfer window looming, I thought it might be worth having another look at how the players are doing.
