Football Daily | Alexander Isak, the final boss of this summer's transfer window
Briefly

Newcastle has struggled to recruit other players like Bryan Mbeumo and Joao Pedro, who have chosen rival clubs. With the anticipated profits from a potential sale of Isak and new players not signing, dissatisfaction grows among fans and commentators regarding Newcastle's situation and its perceived financial capabilities under new ownership.
