Merson commented on the Newcastle winter window: they failed to strengthen the front line And it is very regrettable that they failed to bring in Jesse Lingard

Recently, Premier League star Paul Merson talked about Newcastle's reinforcements in the winter window in an interview with Sky Sports, and Merson said that although Newcastle spent 93 million pounds on the January transfer window, it is still facing the pressure of relegation.

Newcastle spent a fortune in January signing Guimarães, Chris Wood, Trippier and Dan Byrne, while Target also came to St James' Park on loan, but Merson said Newcastle could regret not bringing in another striker.

Merson said: "If they could bring in Lingard, Newcastle would have a lot of changes, but this deal did not happen. They buy players for the team to be more solid, and while solidity is okay, you also need some X factors and I think it may be difficult for them to score the ball. ”

'I still think their signings in January haven't shown their effect yet and it doesn't excite me – they've got a steady stream of players, but I don't think an 18-0 draw will get you relegated.

"Newcastle always say they want two strikers but they only get Chris Wood and there's going to be a lot of pressure on their defence and I think Eddie Howe sees that. In this season's Premier League, only Norwich have scored more goals than they have. ”

"Maybe Eddie Howe thinks they have a chance to win the game as long as they keep a clean sheet, and if St. Maximan can do a little miracle, they may win 1-0. Keeping a clean sheet gives you a chance, and that's how Newcastle treats this winter window. ”

"They've bought two stable defenders and Dan Byrne is nice. For Bruno Guimarães, who has never played in the Premier League, he may be an absolutely talented player and I would say they need to get someone ready for the Premier League. ”

"I hope they're relegated, but I don't see any positive impact from this signing. For me, any of the Watford striker players can go into Newcastle to play.

'For Jesse Lingard's question, it makes sense for United to stay, but it could be a big regret for them that Newcastle didn't get him.
