Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce says they'll need multiple transfer windows to get the team to where he wants.

Newcastle are safe in 16th position ahead of Friday's visit of champions Manchester City.

"We're not going to celebrate (staying up)," said Bruce.

"We all aspire to take Newcastle into the top 10, that's where I wanted to be and the supporters want to be.

"It takes time, we haven't got the capability to change it around, it takes more than one transfer window. We have to keep moving forward. Breaking into the top 10 or top 12 is the next step."
