Most teams can only look in envy at the financial resources possessed by Newcastle and this financial firepower looks sure to ascertain promotion back to the Premier League.
The Magpies had an extremely busy transfer window splashing around £60 million on players with top scorer Dwight Gayle the most successful whilst they also made huge money in player sales by selling the flops of last season.
Led by Champions League winning manager Rafa Benitez and roared on by the largest support in the Championship currently sit top of the table and are red hot favourites for promotion.
They have one of the strongest squads in the Championship possessing creative talent in the midfield with winger Matt Ritchie an impressive coup whilst Dwight Gayle has been remarkably potent up front with 9 goals so far.
Isaac Hayden and Jonjo Shelvey have been exceptional in the middle of the park as well dominating games with excellent vision and passing with the latter the best midfielder in the league.
Clearly, their's is a squad that's highly valuable, though here are 3 player values (using Transfermarkt) that may surprise you.
Chancel Mbemba - £8.5 million
One of the more surprisingly high valuations in the Newcastle squad is for Congo defender Chancel Mbemba.
The talented young defender has made his breakthrough into the first team showing greater competency than his counterparts.
He is a great young talent, but unproven at the top level and with the transfer fee not taking inflation into account the valuation seems a little high, especially when double the value of Jamaal Lascelles.
Dwight Gayle - £5 million
Seems a woeful under-evaluation of Gayle considering the start he has made at Newcastle.
After flopping in the Premier League with Crystal Palace, scoring just 15 goals in 64 games, he moved to Newcastle for a bumper £10 million fee and has hit the ground running.
He's already scored 11 goals in 12 matches and is one of the best strikers in the Championship using his pace and finishing to his advantage.
The £5 million transfer valuation is half what Newcastle paid and he seems a much better player now.
Isaac Hayden - £1.70 million
An unusually low value for a talented young player like Hayden, who has experience in the Championship.
After some excellent loan outings for Hull including big roles in their promotion winning season last year, Newcastle were impressed enough to sign him.
The 21-year-old plays for England U21 and also partners Jonjo Shelvey in midfield and his defensive game has been outstanding so far, his value should have climbed from the start of the season.
