Eddie Howe Faces Isak Transfer Drama…
Eddie Howe might need a wizard’s wand as Newcastle’s Alexander Isak pulls a Houdini-like disappearing act, vowing never to play for the club again. It’s a page right out of Sir Alex Ferguson’s playbook from 2008 when Cristiano Ronaldo had stars in his eyes for Real Madrid. Only this time, instead of a ÂŁ110 million bid from Liverpool, it’s a case of ‘please take him or we’ll scream!’ Isak’s adamant and his absence from squad sheets is more awkward than wearing socks with sandals at St James’ Park.
Similar to Ronaldo, Isak’s got itchy feet, but with a salary bigger than some small countries’ GDPs, he isn’t going anywhere fast unless Liverpool can cough up a colossal ÂŁ150 million. It’s a saga where Howe and his team might have to imagine Isak parked on the bench so long they’ll charge him rent! Meanwhile, pundits Gabby Agbonlahor and Ally McCoist have declared his behavior is as tasteful as pineapple on pizza. Isak’s antics with a side of skipping practices have left markets asking, ‘Sign him? We’ll pass, thanks!’
