Ambitious Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is targeting a trophy next season to end a four-decade barren run at St James' Park.
The Magpies could still finish in the top half of the Premier League table in their first season back in the top flight following promotion but Pardew says that there needs to be higher goals set to end the 42 years without silverware that the club has ednured.
"The thing we really need to bring into this club is two or three players who have real flair and can excite our crowd," he said.
"It is going to be very, very difficult, of course, to break into that Champions League position or push for Europe at this stage, but it would be nice to play a brand of football that is suited to Newcastle, an attacking, front foot type of game-plan in every game we play and see where it takes us.
"That's the key because if we have a bigger squad, then maybe we can attack one of the cups.
"That's probably the first thing on our agenda, to try to win a cup as soon as we can.
"When I was at West Ham, we targeted the FA Cup and came within a whisker of winning it, so it's not something I have lost focus on.
"The squad this year was really small and that worried me. We didn't, of course, set out to lose at Stevenage, but maybe on reflection, that result didn't do us any harm in terms of getting a strong position in the league with the small squad we have."
And Pardew said that he had already spoken to owner Mike Ashley regarding potential transfer targets for the summer.
"He [Ashley] was here yesterday. We had a good meeting and we discussed some possible targets," he added.
"Mike will digest the figures and we will go from there."
