NUFC want to sign 'four or five more' - or so Rafa said to Phil Brown:
"I’ve just spoken with Rafa – he came into the dressing room not for a beer, just for a chat.
He’s just said to me that he still wants to bring four or five players in and yet you look at the squad there and he can boast what 22 to 24 players in the squad here and every one of them can play in the Championship.
But he wants better, he wants to get promoted, he wants to finish first, which is every Newcastle fan’s dream to finish as champions of the league.
But it’s not going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination. Everybody’s going to go to St James’ Park and it’s their cup final.
Everybody’s said that, and they’ve got to be mentally prepared for that.
Now listen, I’m a North-East man; I’m a Sunderland fan but I’m a North-East man so it’d be great to see Newcastle get promoted and see Sunderland and Middlesbrough stay up there. "
