Rafa Benitez is furious after Newcastle failed to sign a single player during the final fortnight of the transfer window.
The Spaniard expected arrivals after offloading high-earners Emmanuel Riviere, Siem de Jong, Grant Hanley and Tim Krul.
A loan move for Southampton left back Matt Targett collapsed on Thursday evening, while the club conceded defeat in their pursuit of Chelsea’s Kenedy. Benitez had also wanted a goalkeeper and striker.
He has signed off from the summer having spent around £40million on six players and he believes owner Mike Ashley has not come good on promises he made over investment in May.
