Isak bid, striker shortlist, superb Seung-soo & transfer panic!

This week, Ed and Olly react to what’s becoming an increasingly concerning summer on Tyneside. We kick things off with the latest on the Isak situation — could Newcastle really lose their star striker, and what’s the truth behind the growing noise?

With Benjamin Sesko now likely heading to Man Utd, striker targets like Wissa, Muniz and Larsen are being linked — but are any of them good enough, and why are we still scrambling for signings in early August?

There’s finally some positive news as Aaron Ramsdale edges closer to a move, but the squad remains worryingly short with a centre-back and midfielder still badly needed. We discuss how this window is threatening to turn disastrous unless key gaps are addressed — fast.

We also reflect on the 1-0 defeat to the K-League XI and provide injury updates on Willock, Botman and Hall, as Cordero heads out on loan. With just three pre-season games left and new leadership expected in the boardroom, time is running out to fix this.

Plus, we answer your Twitter questions and reveal the results of our poll of the week.
