Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has rejected criticism over the Premier League loan vote.
Newcastle were among clubs to block the Premier League's attempt to stop clubs from loaning players from within their network.
Howe said, "You say Newcastle were favoured but it was a Premier League vote.
"We're not the only club involved in that vote. I think the majority of the Premier League and other clubs around the world [benefit] so it's not solely on us, I don't think.
"Newcastle, our club, had a view. We voted in a way, a way that we're allowed to, and the vote came out on the side that it did.
"I think just from my dealings with it, we're very relaxed on it. It's not the be-all and end-all for us.
"We've got a squad that we really like. Now if we get players fit before January then the need to recruit will become much less intense for us."
