Newcastle United rolled nine goals past Burnley in four 45 minute affairs at Cidade do Futebol yesterday afternoon in what proved to be a stroll in the sunshine.
During the training games sporting director Dan Ashworth watched the team but was still trying to push signings through in time for the new season.
Ashworth is on hand with availability checks on players and various enquiries with things heating up in the transfer market.
Toon head coach Eddie Howe was left satisfied by a series of mini victories for Newcastle's A and B teams at the home of the Portuguese FA but there is still hope that United can add another new face by the time the new campaign kicks off next month against Nottingham Forest.
