🇸🇪 To say we're feeling let down, betrayed even, by Alexander Isak would be a massive understatement. The lad we welcomed with open arms, gave a long lucrative contract too which he was happy with, the striker we lauded as our next big thing, is now holding us to ransom, demanding an eye-watering £300,000 a week! For a player who, let's not forget, we gave a platform in the toughest league in the world, who we supported through injuries and helped develop into the player he is today. And his reward for our unwavering faith and worship? A blatant display of unadulterated greed.
Don't let anyone peddle that tired old line about "ambition." This isn't ambition, not when you're already playing for a club with Champions League football, who are cup winners, with a passionate fanbase, and ambitious owners. This is about one thing and one thing only: more and more money. It’s an insult to every single fan who’s invested their heart and soul into this club, who turns up week in, week out, rain or shine, to support the lads everywhere they go.
And let's be honest, his agents are undoubtedly pulling the strings here. They see a young, talented player with a big reputation, and they see pound signs. They whisper sweet nothings in his ear, filling his head with fantasies of astronomical wages elsewhere, completely disregarding the loyalty and opportunity Newcastle United has provided. It's a sad reality of modern football, where players become mere commodities, shuffled from club to club for the highest bidder, with agents laughing all the way to the bank.
While we're out here in Asia during pre-season, grafting and putting the miles in, Isak is reportedly on strike in Spain. Just let that sink in. He's refusing to train with his teammates, refusing to prepare for the season, all while still raking in a substantial wage from our club. He's earning a fortune for doing absolutely nothing. It’s a disgrace, plain and simple - he needs fining at the very least!
The trust we placed in him, the belief we had in his words, feels utterly shattered. We bought into the dream, the vision of him leading our line for years to come, and now we feel lied to, after all his verbal diarrhoea from 'Wor Kid' He's not just damaged his reputation; he's absolutely torched his legacy at Newcastle United, all for the sake of a bigger pay packet. The sight of the banner at the training ground, calling him a rat, speaks volumes about the depth of feeling among the faithful at the moment.
He's leaving us in the lurch, right before a crucial season, all for a payday. If he genuinely wanted to leave, if it was truly for "ambition," there were ways to handle it, ways to leave with his head held high. But no, he's chosen the path of confrontation and self-interest, burning bridges and letting down every single one of his teammates. The lads who’ve battled alongside him, who’ve celebrated his goals, must be feeling utterly disgusted.
You can't trust him. Not anymore. This isn't the Isak we thought we knew who'd bought into the Newcastle United way and culture. This is a mercenary, pure and simple, and it’s a harsh, bitter pill to swallow. He might get his move and his massive wages, but he'll never be forgiven on Tyneside. His name will forever be synonymous with greed, a stark reminder that in modern football, loyalty is a rare and precious commodity.
Either way as another week has slipped by, still no resolution - this carnival needs dealing with and a line must be drawn in the sand. Still no official bid from Liverpool either, they are going to wait aren't they in a pathetic attempt to further stir the pot to try and reduce his fee, after deliberately unsettling him, and us - shameful, dirty tactics from a club a lot of us have lost a lot of respect for, classless Liverpool.
