Alexander Isak's attempt to force a relocation from Newcastle to Liverpool did not go well with everyone on the red half of Merseyside while the transfersaga of the summer continues
It is not only those who are connected to Newcastle United who are not satisfied with the behavior of Alexander Isak this summer. The Sweden -striker, which has been the subject of a rejected £ 110 million offer from Liverpool, tries to force a movement of St James' park.
Isak only trained after he has not traveled for the pre-season tour through Asia. He also played no role on Saturday when Newcastle started their Premier League campaign with a scoreless draw at Aston Villa, where they did not score against 10 men.
Of course his position has branded the hierarchy of the Magpies and the fans of the club, who have branded the 25-year-old greedy and ungratulated. However, important Liverpool figures are also not impressed by the behavior of Isak, which could lead to some icy exchanges if he eventually becomes a member of the Reds. This is what some Liverpool said legends about the Isak Transfer Saga …
Jamie Carragher
The highest profitable member of the Liverpool Media Contingent says that Isak has made his wish to leave Newcastle in the wrong way. The Sky Sports Pundit told the I -paper: “Transfers happen every summer, but I don't think you should ever go toxic or nuclear where you refuse to play or train. That can ultimately force the movement, so who am I to say it's wrong? But I just don't like it.
“They pay his wages, they have been great for you, you have been great for them, just keep training, keep playing and hoping that a deal will be closed.”
In the meantime, Carragher has issued a warning for the £ 150 million warning from Newcastle and says on the overlap: “It will be an amazing signature. But from the point of view of a Liverpool fan, I don't want the club to spend £ 150 million to Isak.”
He also warned that bringing in Isak for such a large fee would adversely affect Hugo Ekitike. Carragher added: “There is something about Liverpool who buys a striker [Ekitike] For £ 80 million, and he is a backup. There is something that is not good for me. “
Dietmar Hamann
Former Liverpool and Newcastle -midfielder Hamann agree that £ 150 million is the chances for Isak. The German said via Casino sites: “I think it will be very difficult for Isak to go back to Newcastle now. Even if he does not become a member of Liverpool, they must find a way to integrate him back into the team.
“I suppose he will end at Liverpool. But how are they going to play? That is still too viewed. I would not pay £ 150 million.
“I think £ 150 million is a tough price tag for him. He is a very good player. We know he can score goals in the Premier League, but I would not mind if Liverpool started the season with Ekitike at the top.”
John Barnes
Another player who represented both clubs in an illustrious career, Barnes is not in love with the behavior of Isak. He said The Daily Mail: “I am not a big fan of it. If you play for a club, you have the responsibility to be a good teammate and character, the fans have been great for you, but this is modern football.
“It could be in favor of Liverpool in terms of him who comes from him, but after the club has served him well, there are ways to do something. I don't like the idea that players are not training or popping up if they want to move. But this is modern football and we have to get used to it.”
Andy Carroll
Carroll made the switch from Newcastle to Liverpool in 2011, because he did not want to leave his boy's club. The GateHead born in Gateeshead, 36, now of Dagenham & Redbridge, has criticized Isak's behavior and claims that he has broken the ties with Magpies fans.
Carroll said to Sky Sports: “The way in which he is currently playing his cards, the fans of Newcastle are not going to support him. He is not going to help himself and it is a shame because he is such a good player and every Newcastle fan wants him to stay.
“It is not really the same as I because it is not his club. The Geordies recorded him and made him one of them, but when he wants to go, that has changed his mind.”
Michael Owen
Owen has insisted that Liverpool is not accused of the decay of the transfer, insisting: “This is not a strange scenario. It is a controversial scenario, but it is the same scenario as what always happens.
“There are many simple things that go into the discussion. From the point of view of Newcastle, they have a player who is under contract, and they have to weigh the balance of the finances, what they can receive, maybe have an unfortunate player, or maybe hold someone against.”
John Aldridge
Instead of Isak, former Reds striker Aldridge has made a chance on the handling of the situation by Newcastle and called their appreciation of £ 150 million “ridiculous”. In his ultrasound column in Liverpool, Aldridge said: “This is not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Isak is a top striker, but that kind of reimbursements for a player who wants to leave clearly and even went on strike to get it over the line, I find incredible.
“It is a situation that was not handled properly in Newcastle, but even their Saudi Arabian owners must realize that it might be best to move him further and to invest that money again.”
