Having money without depth makes it hard to recruit; Newcastle's six major targets this summer haven't arrived, and Isak wants to leave, making it difficult to find a replacement.

In football, lacking funds is absolutely unfeasible, but having money without depth is also quite challenging. It's fair to say that a top club isn't built in a day, as seen with the wealthiest club in football, Newcastle United. This summer transfer window, all six of Newcastle's main recruitment targets have not materialized. The team's top scorer, Isak, is set to leave and will not travel with the team to Singapore for the preseason, indicating his firm intention to depart. Meanwhile, Newcastle's target for a striker, Ekitike, has been signed by Liverpool, and finding a replacement for Isak, Brentford's Wissa, seems unlikely.

It is reported that Newcastle faces a dual challenge of competing in the Champions League and the Premier League next season, thus they are eager to strengthen their squad through this summer's transfers, with six main recruitment targets.Haaland (already joined Real Madrid), Delap (already joined Chelsea), João Pedro (already joined Chelsea), Cunha (already joined Manchester United), Mbeumo (already joined Manchester United), Ekitike (already joined Liverpool).Newcastle is very interested in these six players, but they have all been snatched up by top clubs.

Currently, Newcastle's top scorer and last season's Premier League silver boot winner, Isak, is requesting to leave. The player desires to compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles, which Newcastle currently lacks. Liverpool is interested in acquiring this Swedish forward. If Isak leaves, Newcastle must sign a new striker, and their latest target is Brentford's Wissa, but the Bees have already lost Mbeumo, making them reluctant to let Wissa go.

Newcastle, with money but lacking depth, is struggling this summer transfer window. Furthermore, Eddie Howe is not considered a top coach, lacking the star appeal that Guardiola brought to Manchester City in previous years. Given the current situation, Newcastle will face significant challenges in the new season, and the dual competition of the Champions League and Premier League could overwhelm the Magpies!
