Chris Hughton has assured Newcastle United fans he is doing everything he can to add to his squad.
Hughton is hoping to make inroads in the transfer market before the window closes at the end of the month though.
"We have said all along that we need to boost the squad but it is difficult," he said.
"It's not only us that have found it difficult, it's finding the right players and the right values.
"We know how difficult this league will be and we need to be ready for it."
