Everyone talks about Newcastle s dilemma: The director of this summer s transfer period resigned, and Isaac s departure had a negative impact

November 15 News Newcastle has performed poorly this season. "Daily Sports" believes that unfavorable transfer operations this summer have led to the team's current predicament.

This season Newcastle has 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in the Premier League, accumulating 12 points. It is currently ranked 14th in the Premier League standings, only 2 points ahead of the relegation zone. Newcastle finished fifth in the Premier League last season and qualified for the Champions League. In comparison, the team's performance this season has been disappointing. "Daily Sports" believes that Newcastle made some mistakes during this summer's transfer period, which led to the team's failure to continue its previous good momentum.

Newcastle's first major mistake was to have no sporting director during this summer's transfer period. Former director Paul Mitchell resigned at the end of June, while Newcastle's new sporting director Ross Wilson did not take up the post until October this year. Newcastle have been working without a sporting director throughout the summer transfer window, which has had a negative impact on Newcastle's transfer negotiations.

Newcastle was interested in many players including Mbemo, Delap, Ekitic and Sheshko this summer. However, the instability of the club's board of directors and the departure of key executives made negotiations complicated and slow, which ultimately led to all of its potential targets going to other teams. In addition, the traditional giants of the Premier League such as Chelsea and Liverpool have strong economic strength, while Newcastle, as an upstart, is limited in terms of financial expenditure.

"Daily Sports" also stated that Isaac's departure also caught Newcastle by surprise. Isaac publicly stated that he did not want to stay with the team, but Newcastle has been trying to forcefully retain players. It was not until September 1 that Isaac officially transferred to Liverpool, when this season's Premier League had already begun.

As Newcastle's main forward last season, Isaac's transfer turmoil caused tension in the club, which prevented Newcastle from focusing on strengthening the signings of necessary positions, and in order to sign Isaac's replacement, Newcastle had to pay a high price. They spent 75 million euros to sign German center Walter Mader. This player only played one outstanding season. It is difficult to justify such a high price.

Newcastle also signed players such as Joanna Visa (€57 million), Anthony Ilanga (€60 million), and Jacob Ramsey (€45 million) this summer. But so far, Jacob Ramsey has only made one start in the Premier League. Anthony Ilanga has lost to veteran Murphy in the competition and has 0 goals and 0 assists in the Premier League this season. Yoana Visa has not played for Newcastle yet due to injury.

In addition, injuries to important players such as Liveramento and Hall, a lack of cohesion on the field, and some questionable tactical arrangements have combined to lead to Newcastle's current predicament. However, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe still believes that the situation can be turned around and the team can get back on track.
