We need new faces, says Ameobi

Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi claims his club will have to spend more money on new players if they are to end their 35-year wait for a trophy this season.

The England Under-21s international has committed his own future to the Magpies by signing a new five-year contract. But he fears that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United will stretch the gap between the haves and the have-nots unless the Geordies splash out again.
