Llambias defends Newcastle transfer policy

Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias has defended the club’s failure to sign a striker on the final day of the transfer window.

Having missed out on the likes of Kevin Gameiro, Gervinho and Mevlut Erding earlier in the summer, the Magpies turned to Modibo Maiga, Papiss Demba Cisse and at the death, Bryan Ruiz.
