The fans could yet see some more new faces at St James' Park this summer. With Lee Bowyer being Newcastle's only summer signing, the fans are getting concerned, but Sir Bobby is happy with the current side. However, he could be making some signings before the start of the season...
Clubs like Chelsea have invested in some new stars this summer, but Sir Bobby Robson has only brought in Lee Bowyer this summer.
Supporters are concerned about the fact that United will not have the strength and depth boasted by their rivals at the top of the Premiership, but Sir Bobby is not bothered. He is happy with the current Newcaslte United side.
However, Sir Bobby has refused to rule out the possibility making new signings before the start of the season.
Sir Bobby Robson said: "Overall, I don't feel the first team pool needs much strengthening.
"The 22 players I have brought over here are the best 22 players at the club and they will serve us well.
"That is about the right number to see us through another long season on four fronts and I would expect most of them to play a key role over the coming weeks and months.
"I am well aware we have added only Lee Bowyer to the squad but we're still looking at the market.
"I'm not saying we will be buying anybody else before the start of the season - but I'm not ruling it out either.
"I'm really happy with what I've got, but if the market is such that we can improve on that then we will consider all of our options."
