Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, the club\u2019s all-time leading scorer took aim at a squad he claims has &#8220;chucked Eddie Howe under the bus,&#8221; focusing his ire on the summer recruitment that has left St. James\u2019 Park in a state of mid-table malaise.<br>\u200bThe &#8220;Wissa&#8221; Sized Hole in the Attack<br>\u200bWhile several players have underwhelmed this season, the spotlight has burned brightest on Yoane Wissa. Signed for a staggering \u00a355m from Brentford as a response to Alexander Isak\u2019s British-record departure to Liverpool, Wissa has become the poster child for Newcastle\u2019s recruitment failures.<br>\u200bShearer was unrelenting in his critique:<br>\u200b&#8221;He has cost them all season. There is no spark, no threat, and frankly, no effort. He needs to be sold in the summer and forgotten. It was a panic buy that has backfired in the worst possible way.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has never been one to mince words, but his latest assessment following the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-65","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65\/revisions\/67"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
