And don?t you think it?s unfair that the player signed a contract but is now sabotaging it? Isak is behaving like a fraud, I hope Newcastle don't give in to his blackmail and just fine him until he returns to fulfill his contract or is bought for a price that Newcastle are happy with.
In general, Isaac, in my opinion, is too stupid to understand that he is wrong, he is not going to stop and will probably harm himself even more.
Some people try to make the situation look like Isak's agent is to blame for everything, but Isak is an adult, and all responsibility lies with him.

Here's the official statement from the club regarding this saga.

Newcastle United statement: Alexander Isak

"We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening. We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.

We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views. As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met.

This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates."

It's unfortunate Isak decides to put his career at stake knowing he's still under contract. I respect Newcastle for standing firm on this issue by the way.

A wonderful statement from Newcastle - they practically said in plain text that everything Isak said was bullshit, called on him to honour his contract and reiterated that he would not be sold until the club received the desired amount. It's high time to stop this bullshit when players make up some promises and don't pay attention to the contract. I'm looking forward to the transfer window closing to see how this idiot will tuck his tail between his legs and apologize or sit in the reserve squad.

The players and their agents are the bane of football, and it will only get worse. I believe that these players are totally at the mercy of these agents who speculate on these guys who then don't respect their contracts and do as they please. I don't like this, it's ruining football.
