In this week's NUFC Blogcast, Ed and Olly deliver a packed transfer round-up as Newcastle's summer window heats up.
We break down the latest on Sesko after reports of a big bid, discuss Isak's return and Howe’s message to fans, and look at three new striker links – including Brentford’s Yoane Wissa.
Are the club back in for Marc Guehi? We assess the centre-back situation, with whispers of interest resurfacing and a 6ft 5' trialist spotted at the club. Also, what next for Dubravka? And we say goodbye (finally) to Isaac Hayden.
Plus, our poll of the week, a look back at the 1-1 draw at Spurs – and the positives Newcastle can take – as the season draws ever closer.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
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.
🎧 A critical episode in a crucial summer for NUFC — don’t miss it.

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.

In this week’s NUFC Blogcast, Ed and Olly dive into a packed episode full of transfer twists and Toon updates. We react to a major boost surrounding Alexander Isak, discuss the latest twist in Hugo Ekitike’s situation, and ask the question — is Yoane Wissa really next through the door at St James’ Park?
There’s fresh talk around Benjamin Šeško, confirmation of a £15m exit for Sean Longstaff, and a clear message to the NUFC board — we need to get moving, with a striker, centre-back, goalkeeper and midfielder still badly needed!
Tune in now for all the latest black-and-white chatter.

📢 In this episode of the NUFC Blogcast, Ed and Olly react to fresh rumours linking Newcastle United with a move for Hugo Ekitike — the PSG forward we’ve chased before and could be back in for. Is this a genuine revival of interest or just recycled speculation? Would he still be a good fit for Howe’s squad? And what would a deal look like now compared to 18 months ago?
We also discuss the credibility of the sources, what this might mean for our attacking options, and how this potential signing lines up with our overall transfer strategy this summer.
🔍 Plus: Updates on other links, some insight from French media, and your listener questions!
