Newcastle United fans will be dreaming about what the future holds as the takeover of the club nears completion.
Whilst we don't know what will happen in the coming months and years, it's clear those who behind the move have the financial power to make the Magpies one of the best teams in the country.
Therefore, you can expect a lot of excitement in the upcoming transfer windows on Tyneside as the club look to bring in players to help fulfil that ambition.
That's not an area they have excelled in previously though, with the club making many memorable mistakes when it comes to recruitment.
Here we identify SIX players that have to go down as some of the worst signings Newcastle have made...
The French international was snapped up by Graeme Souness for around £8m after impressing for Rangers during just six months in Scotland.
He couldn't replicate that in the Premier League though, with Boumsong making a catalogue of errors, with his second season a particular struggle.
A move to Juventus, then in Serie B it should be said, followed for just over £3.3m, with his value dropping significantly following those poor performances.
The central defender cost Newcastle almost £6m in 1999 which was a hefty sum back then, so a lot was expected of the Spaniard.
He turned out to be a disaster signing, making 17 appearances across four years and he just wasn't good enough for the club at the time.
Newcastle had done well with signings from France for a period, with Yohan Cabaye a standout example. It was a different story with Riviere though.
Again, he just wasn't good enough, netting once in 23 games and he was sent on loan twice during his three-year spell contracted to Newcastle.
The Geordies paid £9.5m to land Luque from Deportivo back in 2005, making him a major signing at the time.
He was another who struggled to adapt and seemed to lack the quality and desire to do well. His one and only goal, which was against Sunderland, is fondly remembered but ultimately he was a real let down.
Having scored over 20 goals in consecutive seasons in France leading up to the World Cup in 1998, the striker was the main man as Les Bleus won the trophy on their own turf.
Even though he didn't score in the tournament, that understandably excited Newcastle fans when he arrived for the next season.
He would score on his debut but go on to make just four appearances when it was clear he wasn't good enough.
Whilst we haven't done them in order, many would argue Xisco is the worst of the lot.
Signed for £6m he would quickly find himself seventh choice at St. James' Park and managed just nine appearances despite being contracted to the club for five years, although he spent a few years out on loan.
Fans dread to think of the money he picked up in that time as he was a panic buy and nowhere near capable of scoring regularly in the Premier League.
