A brutal week on Tyneside - on and off the pitch.

In this episode of Talk of the Toon, we react to Newcastle’s 4-0 pre-season defeat to Celtic.

Sloppy? Tired? Unprepared? We break down the warning signs - and what Eddie Howe must address.

Then, we dig into the transfer chaos:

• £120m Isak bid rumours from Liverpool
• Was the Ekitike chase just a decoy?
• Brentford’s Yoane Wissa (19 goals) now on the radar
• Sean Longstaff joins Leeds in a £12m+ move
• Man City’s buy-back clause threatens Newcastle’s move for James Trafford

Is this the wake-up call Newcastle needed?
