Alan Shearer shared his thoughts about Alexander Isak after the Newcastle striker had missed their 0-0 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday while trying by forcing a transfer to Liverpool
Alan Shearer focused on Alexander Isak after the striker missed the Premier League opener of Newcastle against Aston Villa while insisting on a move to Liverpool. Isak has refused to play for Newcastle in an attempt to force through an exit, after the club had rejected an opening bid from Liverpool earlier this month.
And the legend Shearer of Newcastle closed the behavior of Isak after the Magpies with Aston Villa had pulled with Aston Villa and accused him of “taking liberties” by refusing to play. Wayne Rooney focuses on the situation at the BBC match of the day and said: “I think he should tackle it in the right way and I have been there myself, where I asked to leave Manchester United.”
Shearer then intervened: “But you have submitted a transfer request. You did not refuse to train, you have not refused to play, so there is a way to do it and Alex is not at all in the right way. You have to feel sorry for the players and the manager.
“The players are busting a gut today for the football club, for the thousands of fans who have traveled all the way to Villa Park. They give everything.
“Yet they look at another player, wherever he is, refuse to play despite having a three -year contract and on more than £ 100,000 a week. [The fans] Pay £ 60 or £ 70 for a ticket, £ 30 for gasoline or a train ticket.
“You can imagine the anger that they feel that someone is taking the freedom to say,” I refuse to play. “You just can't do that if you have a three -year contract.
“I also understand that there are two sides to every story and we have never heard of him or his side, they are all leaks or reports. There is still a chance, albeit a little chance that he can be integrated into the team if he says sorry.
“It is unlikely that that is the case, but if it gets beyond the transfer deadline day and there is still an impasse and nobody is coming and he is still in Newcastle, I can't see a way.”
After the game, Newcastle -Baas Eddie Howe offered an update about the future of Isak and stated: “Nothing has changed. The door is good and really open, but he has to decide what he wants to do.
“We want a resolution. The property, everyone, the players we have, want that clarity. You don't need a distraction. I have no control over that.
