Newcastle Sanction Three New Arrivals Following Benitez Transfer Plea to Club Board

Newcastle United's board have reportedly given the green light on three more arrivals to St. James' Park following manager Rafa Benitez's impassioned plea after the 4-0 loss to Braga, according to the Chronicle.

Benitez made his feelings over a lack of transfers abundantly clear in an open and honest press conference in Portugal, and it appears to have had the desired effect.

Newcastle are said to be willing to move forward with deals provided Benitez works within the tight financial framework.

Benitez had initially wanted four players last week when he made it clear to the powers that be at Newcastle that they would start the season battling for stability again rather than the top eight he was aiming for.
