Money is miserable! Newcastle lost completely in the crazy summer window, the number one star could not be retained, and the signing was intercepted 8 times

Who is the worst in this crazy summer transfer window?

The just-concluded 2024/25 season is undoubtedly a very milestone season for Newcastle, a century-old English football store. In the final of the League Cup, he defeated his opponent who had never won in more than ten years. The Premier League champion Little League ended his 70-year championship drought; the Premier League came to fifth and won the Champions League ticket this season.

Backed with the largest financial backer in football history, Newcastle took steady steps after changing hands. After breaking the no-crown curse and obtaining the Champions League qualification, the club’s 100-year great dream can finally come true.

However, ideals are full, reality is too skinny. Just when fans thought this summer window would be a substantial step for Newcastle, trouble came - the number one star in the team, the center Isaac, was targeted by Liverpool. Isaac is the most important signing reinforcement after Newcastle changed hands, or the Premier League silver boot last season. If you only talk about the transfer fee, Newcastle would definitely not pay attention to it, but Isaac has a "military dream". Once Liverpool's "autumn wave" is given away, Isaac immediately "cryed and made a fuss" - Newcastle can't keep this future core.

The pain of being a player is the pain of every team embarking on the road of revival. However, Newcastle's pain is not only that. This club with the largest amount of funds in football history has not attracted powerful stars to join in this crazy summer window.

Indeed, Newcastle was originally planning to make a big fight this summer window, and also prepared many favorite goals. However, Cunha and Mbemo went to Manchester United, Trafford went to Manchester City, Pedro went to Chelsea, Ekitic went to Liverpool, and Kudus went to Tottenham...

Although Newcastle gave a very sincere offer, these players who are already well-known in the Premier League rejected this kind of goodwill without exception. Needless to say, the reason is that it is insufficient foundation, and the second is that the salary is not high. The first point is easy to understand. In the Premier League era, Newcastle was a down-and-out household. Due to the fiscal fairness bill and the Premier League sustainable rules, Newcastle cannot currently give a salary that matches BIG6.

The simplest comparison is that Isaac's weekly salary is only 120,000 pounds, while Anthony can get a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds at Manchester United. In comparison, how could Isaac not leave? The highest weekly salary in Newcastle is the midfield core Guimaraes, which is £160,000, compared to the weekly salary of £300,000 for BIG6, which really cannot be kept and cannot attract top stars.

In the era of gold and dollar football, the road to rise is by no means a smooth road. Even if Newcastle is very, very rich, this process may be very, very painful.
