Whether you agree with Isak’s stance or not his situation can’t be good for Newcastle’s ability to attract high level talent in the future. Generally speaking in football the players support the players rather than the clubs as it’s in their interest to have as much freedom of movement as possible. Newcastle have bottled this situation. The fact that Isak has now escalated this matter publicly demonstrates the relationship is untenable.
Good on them I say.
We refused to be bullied by all the bullshit Caicedo tried when he tried to force his way out on his terms.
Some said that was untenable at the time but he ended up coming back, playing well and we made a lot more money from it for standing our ground.
In the end he went on our terms.
We just stood out ground on Baleba as well.
I think there a moment happening now where the clubs outside of the "big 6" are not going to be bullied into selling so easily anymore.
