Alexander Isak looms large over everything at St James' Park right now - he is the tainted hero whose future casts a shadow over their plans for what was intended to be a season of progress. #NUFC 📝 @georgecaulkin.bsky.social 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/654...

(L) Eddie Howe; (R) Alexander Isak.

Newcastle has the right to hold out. He is on a contract and they can’t afford to offload him without a good replacement. He will get his head right when the window closes.

Too right. I'd love to know how much has been agent driven. Isak and his agent seems to have forgotten that this is a World Cup year. He can't afford not to be playing for long.

Yup. That is why I believe all this madness will end once the window closes. He’d have to put on a show to make the WC squad.

Who has given Liverpool money for a player to get him off their books so Liverpool can strengthen? The Saudis. The clubs owners are not operating in Newcastles interests because Newcastle is there to sports wash, nothing more. The fans need to wake up, they've been helping Chelsea for ages

He's just tainted. No longer a hero. Just a c*nt. #NUFC

Oilcastle United have played this very badly.

How should they have played it?

Good question. I think they should've let Isak go earlier and got on with finding a replacement.

Better plan, we aren’t letting Isak go.
