Newcastle United football chief Joe Kinnear claimed the days of mass buying are over.
Kinnear says Newcastle's intention is to limit signings to "one or two" a year as they attempt to build upon the pool of players they already have.
He wrote in his match programme notes yesterday: "Now that we have strength and depth in most areas, as well as players within our ideal age range in most positions, our intention for the first team going forward is to sign one or two players per year to improve the squad.
"This will be done within strict financial parameters - the club will only spend what it can afford."
