While I don't agree with his actions that were similar to Isak's, I absolutely want this deal to happen. 19 non-penalty goals last season and despite AFCoN this winter he'll be an excellent Wilson replacement in the long-term

They've accepted he's closer to the exit door by doing this. Just need Adli in at Bournemouth then we'll see movement here.

The window is finally gathering pace! 🏃🏻‍♂️

A very happy 55th birthday to our Geordie legend, the Premier League's greatest ever goalscorer and our Club-record scorer, Alan Shearer. 🙋🏻

He knows loyalty to the badge.

Have a good one, Alan.

Newcastle United are going to have destroyed my emotions come September 1st. One minute it's utter frustration and the next we could be about to sign 3 players in a fortnight (Thiaw, Ramsey and Wissa).

Despair to back in business in . I love this Club. It's bonkers. Wouldn't have it any other way. 😆😆😂😂

Elanga ✅
Ramsdale ✅
Thiaw ✅
Ramsey? 🔜
Wissa? 🔜

Isak sent to his room and grounded until September 2nd. 🍼

Newcastle United may just be back from the dead in this window.

Isak has said his career at Newcastle is done and he won't play for us again. I give my view on his disrespectful, disgraceful behaviour as he's let his teammates, Howe and supporters down.

David Ornstein reported this morning that Alexander Isak has said his career at Newcastle is done and he won't play for us again. I give my view on his disre...

This isn't some foreign prison, it isn't a gaol, a penitentiary or a gulag, and he hasn't been kidnapped.

Therefore, just to reiterate for those who find it hard to understand, a multi-million pound footballer under contract for 3 more years to do the job he is contractually obliged to do for said Club until a suitable offer comes in and a replacement is found isn't being "HELD HOSTAGE."

An excellent point sent to me on BlueSky that I wanted to share:

"Funny how nothing on Isak was reported during all those months Arsenal were interested in him. Surely the narrative - if this was common knowledge - would have been Arsenal might find it hard to get him in January but it’ll be easier in the summer. And yet not a peep."

"And why was he in such a strop from March onwards if it was understood he’d be off? Surely you’d want to leave on a high? It’s such transparently nonsensical framing coming directly from an agent who fears he’s running out of road."

This is bang on. His agent knows he's naused up the timing of it all knowing every Club has signed a top striker. He's running out of Clubs and time and he's run straight to a journalist to release a desperate statement worded like a petulant child so he can try and force through a huge payday off his one big-name client for himself.

Newcastle isn't standing in the way of his ambition here. He's not a prisoner, he's a multi-million pound footballer under contract for 3 more years who voluntarily signed it. He wasn't under duress.

We're actively trying to sign a replacement and he'll see that in who we have gone for. Once we sign said replacement in this window or a future one and someone bids what we want, he can go. Until both of those things happen, he stays whether he likes it or not.

Why did he take part in promotional shoots for the third top if he knew he was off, too?

This is clearly his agent. It's properly pathetic behaviour and embarrassing from a so-called adult. He needs to grow up.

So why did Ornstein report this, then after we qualified for the Champions League? Why was he in this season's promotional shoots for the new kits if he had asked to leave? 🤔🤷🏻

Convenient another story that swings the narrative in Liverpool's favour drops this morning.

Shame he's contracted until 2028 😂

Pay £150m when we have a replacement or accept defeat.

Philippe, Philippe Albert.
Everyone knows his name!

Happy 58th birthday to one of my favourite players growing up and a scorer of truly ridiculous goals. One of the most unorthodox CBs I've ever seen!
