Eddie Howe suggested Newcastle do not have the financial power to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window. Newcastle huffed and puffed against Wolves and were held to a goalless draw against the Premier League’s bottom side in a blow to their Champions League hopes. ‘We replaced a winger for a winger, they have different qualities all of them,’ said Howe. ‘Whether it is Harvey Barnes or the two Anths (Gordon and Elanga), Jacob Murphy when he is fit, they all have different attributes. I don't think our attacking output today was good enough.’
