WHAT’S NEW: Rafa Benitez has not been satisfied with the club’s transfer window, with targets missed. Stoke City’s Joselu and bargains were not what Benitez had in mind. BIG SIGNING: Mikel Merino could prove an astute addition, Jacob Murphy will offer pace but Benitez wants quality such as Lucas Perez from Arsenal and James McCarthy from Everton. BOOKIES SAY: Will do well to survive. WE SAY: Benitez will be overworked to keep this squad out of danger. SPENT £31.2m Players in: 7 Received: £14.3m
