Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has been reluctant to splash the cash on new players for the club over the past year, although the Magpies did break their transfer record to sign Miguel Almiron in January this year.

Many players have come in and out of the club in recent seasons, but quite a few have now become fan favourites at St James’ Park.

The last five years have been up and down for Newcastle, but we want to know who is your personal best signing that the club has made in the past five years. 

Take into account the transfer fee and performance levels before casting your vote in this ‘winner stays on’ duel. (Transfer fees taken according to transfermarkt records)
