Isak will be gone, no way they're spending that sort of money on a second striker

They can and they will. It's all on Isak there, they got away with it last season, but an injury to him and they are nowhere near the top six. They have the Saudi Royals, and they'll spend them
 
2 quality players but it also means totally changing their formation

Newcastle strength is the CM 3 imo, they make it so hard for teams to play against them so if they play 2 up top they have less in CM

Bang on. Their midfield is everything to them. And their defence is pretty ordinary actually, but that three really takes the pressure of them.

I'm a huge fan of Josh Sargent and I think he's capable of stepping up to being a bottom half prem player in the right team, but £20m is an outrageous price for him to be fair.
He's a cracking player. But it might be a bit like a lot of Ipswich's signings this time last year. Some of the best in the Championship, handy to get you back up...
 
can 100% see an alternative reality where Donald fluked promotion with that first playoff final, was still our owner chasing premier league status, and signing players like Ings in our 7th attempt to get out of the championship
If we'd went up in that first summer, Donald and his mate would have been gone by the start of the next season, as per the plan. All flipped and gone.

Isak is going to be the main man with Ekitike as his junior. They've got a lot of games to play this year so both will play plenty - but now they have the option to sometimes use the 442 they did with Wilson and isak.

I don't see how this makes sense, one of these scenarios holds true:

They keep and play both or rotate; they use the vast majority of their budget on an area that didn't necessarily need strengthening. Could see them struggle with all the games and lack of depths in CM/CB etc

They sell Isak and he's the replacement; Isak goes for 120m and they buy a CB but they've sold the best striker in the league

Aye, people talk about the 6-0 to Bolton being a blessing. But that 90+4 Bauer goal from Charlton was also a blessing

They definitely needed strengthening up front, they want to go deep in the champions league this year and to do that they will need an alternative to isak in case of injury - they view that alternative as important and are willing to spend top dollar.

Also lets them rest Isak in league and cup games too and gives the opportunity to play a 2 striker formation.

They will sign more than just ekitike.
