What a mess! - Another transfer blow, Celtic review, Isak, Howe and what next?

Ed and Olly are back to unpack a busy — and at times frustrating — week on Tyneside.

We kick off with a look at the 4-0 friendly defeat to Celtic. No need to panic, but it certainly wasn’t pretty. We go through the winners and losers from the game, react to Eddie Howe’s post-match quotes, and discuss what (if anything) it told us about where this squad currently stands.

There’s a big update on transfers too, and it’s not the most uplifting chat. We cover the stalled striker search, missing out on James Trafford, the latest links to Yoane Wissa and a surprise new name that’s emerged. Questions need to be asked about the state of our window so far... and we don’t hold back.

Elsewhere, we react to the results of our latest Twitter poll, answer your questions, and pay tribute to Sean Longstaff after his move to Leeds. A big move for a local lad who gave us everything.

Plus, with the team now heading to Korea, we look ahead to what could be a defining few weeks for the club off the pitch.
