I think even neutral fans are starting to curse Isak. It seems he has harmed not only himself and Newcastle but everyone in general. I am surprised that the head coach continues to insist that he is waiting for the situation to be resolved and the road back for Isak is open.
Wolves are weak, probably not the best indicator to draw conclusions about City's strength, at least I hope so, because 4-0 is a bad score if you root against City Grin

This is actually common for most players who are talented. They don't want to waste their time for years at a team without big targets. Yes, this isn't good on Newcastle side but it doesn't look like they have much choice left.

I agree about Manchester City. It is still early to say that they are better than last season. It takes time to see the real strength of a team after facing more difficult opponents.

The players' desires are understandable, but it is naive to want a huge salary + guarantees of this salary (long-term contract) + options to leave at any time, ignoring the contract. This is simply childish behavior. Frankly, the footballers are simply fucking nuts (not all, but some); they have zero self-awareness and responsibility. They just don't realize that these are golden times for them (due to the fact that UEFA is fragmented in terms of business), if it were the NHL or something like that, their salary would be 10 times less (because of ceiling) and they would have to sweat 10 times more.
