It feels like last summer's Newcastle United transfer window has had an enormous impact on this current one.
With Elanga and Wissa misfiring all campaign and Ramsey taking a while to show his quality, I wonder if the board are nervous of making the same mistakes and potentially overpaying for another underwhelming signing.
Our only real success of last season's transfers was Malick Thiaw who had never played a minute of Premier League football.
Add to that three of our best signings under this ownership have been Bruno, Isak and Tonali, who all fit that profile too.
Are the board becoming too obsessed with uncovering more of those and not trusting in the tried and tested?
