Alan Shearer has branded Alexander Isak 'absurd' for his statement on Tuesday evening – and called him to dismiss his agent because of the 'f ****** mess in which he is located.
The legend of the Magpies believes that Isak was naive to think that Newcastle would have a desire to let him go if no guarantees were given in his contract.
Isak refuses to train with his teammates while trying to force a move to Liverpool and on Tuesday claimed that the club had 'broken promises'.
Newcastle is steadfast by holding their attitude to him – certainly not until they sign a striker or two – and have rejected an £ 110 million bid earlier this month.
He believes that the explanation of the striker has only weakened his position and made it even more difficult to integrate again if he doesn't get his move.
Shearer said to Betfair: “Oh my God, what is his agent made of this, frankly.
'If I were him, I would get his agent in a room and immediately fire him on the spot, because he is intended to give him the advice to sign that six -year -old deal (in 2022, until 2028) and there is no clause apart.
“I mean, it's ridiculous. And to believe someone's word in football … It is absurd to say that someone said, “Oh, I will be able to get out at the end of the season.” Real? I mean, come on.
'Newcastle has also released a statement stating that promises were not broken, or that promises were never made. I have always said that there are two sides to every story, but my feelings are exactly the same: it has passed in the wrong way.
'Everything comes down to: I think he gets bad advice and the way he has it is wrong, I really do that.
'I just think that the issue of this statement thrown flames on the fire last night, which he didn't have to do.
I understand that we had to hear his side of the story and we have heard that now, and I am not saying that I don't believe him or I don't believe newcastle, I just say that it is very, very messy for him and for the football club. It doesn't benefit anyone.
'There is a lot of anger, there is a lot of frustration, because we all come and go, fans come and go, players come and go, but the only constant who does not do is the football club. That is much more important than anyone else, every person, every player will ever have been.
It is their football club, it is their community, it is what they do, it is what they love, it is what they pay for their money for their shirts. So understandably there is a lot of anger in the neighborhood, and I understand that when someone says they don't want to play for their club.
'It is not a good look for a player or agent not to go out and train and not to go out and play if you have a contract behind you. It is not a good look and it is not good to do.
'The statement last night did not give him a single favors in terms of trying to get Newcastle aside or to force them in a decision, I think they will just go in the opposite side.
'If he would apologize and go back into the group before the end of the transfer window, there would be a way back for him (without apologizing). But if he is still here after the transfer window, I can't see how you get back from it. He wants to get out clearly and is willing to do everything to do that. '
Newcastle is not going to have Isak leave in the light of his bomb statement in which he accused the club of 'broken promises'.
The club pursued alternatives all summer and, if they had signed one of their top goals, they would have investigated the sale of Isak to Liverpool and to recognize his desire to continue.
The message from the top on Tuesday evening, however, was that Isak will be told that he is staying in the club.
Skipping the PFA Awards Gala, on which he was mentioned in the team of the season, wrote Isak on Tuesday evening: “I kept quiet for a long time while others spoke,” he wrote on his Instagram account.
'That silence has enabled people to push their own version of events, although they know that it does not reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors.
'The reality is that promises have been made and the club has long known my position. To pretend that these problems are only on the rise, it is misleading.
'When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot continue. That is where things are now for me and why change in the best interest of everyone, not just myself. '
Newcastle hit back: 'We are disappointed that tonight we were warned about a social media post by Alexander Isak.
'We are clear that Alex will remain under contract and that a club officer never assumed that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.
'We want to keep our best players, but we also understand that players have their own wishes and we listen to their opinion. As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into account 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 did not happen this summer. We do not predict those conditions that are met.
'This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to maintain our family feeling. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed when he is ready to join his teammates. '
