Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, he said: The fans want signings, so Im sure they are pleased and it will be good for the group.When a new player comes in it not only boosts the fans, it boosts the players in the squad as well because everyone wants to impress in training.So hopefully this can make the levels go up a notch.Almiron is expected to cost Newcastle about 20m, breaking the clubs previous record of 16m they paid to sign Michael Owen from Real Madrid back in 2005.2

Newcastle fans have been waiting a long time for their next big-money signing

Fans have been crying out for the club to spend big in recent seasons, while Benitez has also been desperate to boost the quality of his side with new signings.And Ritchie is pleased the managers patience has finally paid off.I dont think the transfer record is a big issue, its more about bringing bodies in to compete and make the squad stronger thats what the manager wants and hopefully he can do that.Theres a day or so left, so lets see what happens.But the main thing is the group stay focused on the job in hand and weve got 14 massive games left. Ritchie also hopes the win over Man City can be the springboard for a strong end to the season, as Newcastle look to guarantee their Premier League safety.It was a massive three points and obviously because it was against the champions it feels that much better, but its only three points and we need to build on it now,” he said.Weve got a tough run-in, but hopefully the result last night have give us hope and confidence.Listen back to Newcastle United winger Matt Ritchie on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
