Newcastle United have a lot of business to conduct this summer with many positions needing strengthening in the transfer window.
Eddie Howe has dampened fans' hopes that the Magpies will make any big signings suggesting that the plan is to continue searching for young players who the club can develop into stars rather than signing big names.
The crushing restrictions of the Profit and Sustainability Rules have made this the reality that the so-called 'richest club' have to live in. We could easily afford to sign these big names, the club has access to the funds, but the Premier League won't let us spend it.
However, in an ideal world, we'd be able to go out and sign whoever we wanted.
In a quick-fire interview with Fubo, Bruno Guimaraes was asked who he'd most like to see Newcastle United sign, and if you know anything about Bruno, you know exactly who he said without us telling you.
"I would say Lucas Paqueta, my best friend"
I think we all saw that one coming, however, there were a couple of answers we maybe didn't see coming.
Bruno was asked who at Newcastle is the best dressed with the Brazilian choosing himself and when asked about who is the best dancer at the club, we were shocked to learn that his answer was Jacob Murphy.
Murph has the moves on the dancefloor, but with a football, it's Alexander Isak as Bruno named the Swede as the most skilful after saying that Anthony Gordon just beats him to being the fastest.
We honestly felt certain that Bruno would choose himself or Joelinton as the best dancer with that Brazilian samba vibe, but now we want to see what Murph can do.
