Are Newcastle really looking to boost their squad numbers as much as has been widely reported recently? The intelligent bet would be positive, since the club will go into the season with a problematically small squad, without a fit senior striker, but fans will be cynical and wary of past experience that has seen media frenzy make way to little in the way of permanent first-team deals in the past year. But things might just be about to change, if reports are to be believed.
