Once again, Southampton earned quite a lot of money on transfers. But, that means that their squad is much different now compared to the next season. Can Newcastle take an advantage of that in the first Premier League round?

Last season, Newcastle United ended just a few spots above the relegation zone, which is embarrassing for a club of their quality. They are determined not to let that happen again, which is the reason why they spent €41M on two players only, Wijnaldum and Mitrovic. Newcastle now seems like a team ready to take on the goal of getting qualified for one of the Euro competitions.

This summer, Sunderland sold Schneiderlin and Clyne, getting €52.5M in their budget. They also let go a number of players, including Elia, Djuricic and Boruc. With the money they got, Southampton signed several promising players. Still, their key men, like Steven Davies, Pelle, Wanayama, etc, are in the team.
