Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says he does not want to sign ageing superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo.
The minted Magpies are turning away from short-term fixes as they plot a way to the top of the tree.
Howe admitted he is making special plans to stop 37-year-old Ronaldo at Manchester United on Sunday.
But he added: “It is not really a signing we would necessarily look to make.
“We're trying to provide long-term growth, we have got a longer-term vision.
“We have quite an ageing squad, so we need to invest in more young players."
