(Source: Reuters) Rafa Benitez rued Newcastle United’s lack of activity in the transfer market. “It was a long time ago,” was all Spaniard Benitez would say when asked if the momentum of promotion had been lost. In the build up to the game he had talked, yet again, about his unhappiness with the club’s lack of activity in the transfer market. Asked directly if that game had highlighted that requirement, Benitez replied: “I don’t know,” and he offered little extra when pushed.
