We asked you to send in your questions for BBC Sport’s Newcastle United reporter Ciaran Kelly before the summer transfer window opens.<\/i><\/p>\n

In the first part of a special Q&A, he focuses on how Anthony Gordon’s big-money move to Barcelona could benefit the Magpies in the market and which youngsters could follow in Lewis Miley’s footsteps.<\/i><\/p>\n

Matt asked: <\/b>How much of a leash have the recruitment team got this summer? With the sale of Gordon, will this give us strong opportunity to compete for stronger players?<\/p>\n

Ciaran:<\/b> A big sale was definitely a necessity to unlock some headroom and enable Newcastle to reinvest.<\/p>\n

So finalising Gordon’s \u00a369.3m switch to Barcelona before the window even opened felt like an important first step this summer.<\/p>\n

But Gordon will still leave a gap.<\/p>\n

There were a few penalties along the way, but he scored 17 goals for Newcastle last season – more than any other player.<\/p>\n

He is a regular starter for England.<\/p>\n

He was used to the intensity and physicality of the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Newcastle do not necessarily have the capability to bring in a replacement with an even stronger profile given the wages and fees such talents command.<\/p>\n

However, they are looking for younger players who would not cost as much as Gordon right now, but who have immense potential that can be realised in the right hands.<\/p>\n

Newcastle’s pursuit of Victor Munoz<\/a> is a case in point.<\/p>\n

He is already a Spain international, but the 22-year-old winger has just completed his first full season as a first-team player at Osasuna.<\/p>\n

By moving for him now, Newcastle could secure Munoz for nearly half the fee Gordon commanded and, potentially, before other clubs are prepared to step in.<\/p>\n

Danny asked: <\/b>Does Eddie Howe believe he has any players in the reserves or academy like Miley who are ready to make a breakthrough to the first team?<\/p>\n

Ciaran answered: <\/b>Miley really is the club’s crown jewel.<\/p>\n

He is Newcastle’s youngest debutant in the Premier League and Champions League and no-one in the club’s history has scored a goal for the club in both competitions at such a tender age.<\/p>\n

That is quite a benchmark, but there are a few others who Howe has kept a close eye on.<\/p>\n

Sean Neave, Alex Murphy and Leo Shahar have obviously been in and around the first team for a while now and winger Park Seung-soo was named on the bench on the opening day last season.<\/p>\n

Beyond that quartet, Rory Finneran, who has already won a senior cap for the Republic of Ireland at just 18, has trained with the first team, as has fellow midfielder Mason Miley, the younger brother of Lewis.<\/p>\n

Newcastle’s senior players at the World Cup will be given about three weeks off once they finish up at the tournament, so I could see Howe bringing several youngsters to the club’s pre-season training camp in Spain in July.<\/p>\n

That will give them a chance to really impress.<\/p>\n

Then there could be decisions to be made as the summer goes on regarding who may benefit from a loan or who has impressed enough to stay around the first-team environment.<\/p>\n

Keep across this page on Friday for parts two and three of Ciaran’s Q&A, which will look at subjects including the striker situation and whether Howe has dropped some hints about the coming season.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
