Finishing fifth in the Premier League, above the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea is no mean feat; especially having spent a fraction of the budget for a team competing in the higher echelons of top tier English football. That is the achievement that has now been realised by Newcastle, and if crucial players can stay fit, it can be realised again. The pressure is now on to replicate the same sort of success, with the team now competing against the Thursday night curse of the Europa League. There will no doubt be many teams looking to emulate Newcastle's success on and off the pitch last season, with United's financial model and scouting system looked upon by others as a sensible, sustainable way in which to run a football club in a difficult financial climate.

The transfer policy has changed, its smarter, more astute and with one eye on the future. Newcastle are in-fact one of the lowest spending clubs in transfer fees since gaining promotion in 2009, spending a fraction [£30.25m net] on transfer fee's compared to current league champions Manchester City [£430.77m net] in the last five years. With the serious lack of first team recruitment so far this transfer window, I take a look at the two players I feel are most vital to the success of this team come the new season.
