Isak clearly has a lot of bridges to rebuild if he wants to represent the club again.
“You have a guy who is on £ 100,000 per week and more not to play, and you have the normal fan of £ 60 to 70 for a ticket each week expecting it to be in the team,” said Alan Shearer, the top scorer of all time in Newcastle. “That’s why it hurts them so much.
“There is no loyalty (in football)-the clubs take care of themselves and the players take care of themselves, but there is a way of doing things. The way Alex is doing this right now is not the right way.
“Liverpool has entered his agent and offering 110 million pounds sterling is rather lowering when you have field environments for 105 million pounds sterling. They know they will not get Isak for 110 million pounds sterling.
“You have a guy who played a huge role in one of the best seasons in Newcastle, winning the club’s first trophy for 70 years, qualifying again for the Champions League. However, with three years on his contract, he says he does not want to play here.”
Newcastle head coach, Howe said that the external end was “very free” to publicize his feelings about the player after the match, but he underlined during the same post-match press conference that the door remains open for Isak to be reintegrated.
He reiterated that he is due to Isak to “decide what he wants to do” while the attacker continues to train far from the group.
Howe ideally wants a quick resolution – and it is understandable.
