'Very different', Eddie Howe issues transfer warning to fans ahead of Newcastle January window

Eddie Howe has indicated that Newcastle United will not be getting close to the sums of money spent in the last two windows under new ownership.

Howe has been afforded a transfer kitty of £200million in the last two windows and broke a club record to net Alexander Isak for £63million back in August. Recently sporting director stated that spending huge fees won't be sustainable.

Howe agrees and said: "I think that is unsustainable, Financial Fair Play, I know it is mentioned a lot. That will guarantee that.

"I think you have to be mindful of that fact. That's where we need to improve, to make sure we don't have to go to the transfer market and spend that money. Can we produce more of our own players? Can we improve everything we deliver?

"Not just transfers. It can be very difficult for all clubs to spend that money on a consistent basis."

Howe believes that supporters will understand the club's decision to reel in from big money buys.

Howe said: "I would love to think so, they have a level of understanding, I am sure they do. It is a difficult one for me to comment on. Dan has made that comment and I take my information from them.

"We go into the next window knowing it will be very different to the last one. No two windows are the same. We know we are going to have to control our spending for sure."
