Talking Transfers: Newcastle United's next stage

Newcastle United are back…

The Toon are back in the big time. Back competing with the biggest clubs on the pitch and in the transfer market, back in the UEFA Champions League, with plenty of thanks to their new Saudi Arabian owners of course.

We’ve flipped the script for this one: Stevie talks to Joe Donnohue, host of the proper Scouted Football Podcast, about his beloved Newcastle and the upward direction of the club under Eddie Howe.

On the agenda…

• Returning to the top table and European football

• Kieran Tripper and Bruno Guimrães, standard setters

• How will Sandro Tonali fit into their midfield?

• The development of the dynamic Alexander Isak

• Ashworth’s influence, Youth League, and more…

We talked about the departure of cult hero Allan Saint-Maximin and the arrival of Harvey Barnes too. If you want the lowdown on Newcastle, listen to this.
