I need to tour different Premier League golf equipment with a giant ‘HANDS OFF ALEX ISAK’ signal and wave it round. What good will that do? I do not know. However it looks like a press release I need to make.
Pleasingly, the noises coming from Newcastle United for the time being make it look like Isak will not be on the market, and can nonetheless be in black and white this September. That is enormous for Newcastle’s season, with Champions League soccer returning and hopefully one other respectable cup run to come back. With out Isak, I believe quite a lot of our hopes of ending excessive within the desk, doing respectably within the Champions League, and customarily having a cheerful time this season fade away.

Sooner or later, he’ll depart. I do not consider Isak is so in love with Newcastle United that he desires to remain years and end his profession right here. He is an bold participant who most likely desires to be enjoying in the very best leagues on this planet.
I, nevertheless, do not suppose it is inevitable that he leaves this time subsequent 12 months, however I do suppose it is extra possible. His value will nonetheless be excessive; he’ll solely be 26. At that time, it is senseless from a PSR perspective to carry on – notably if the participant himself is able to transfer.
It is irritating that that is the place we’re, financially, and on the similar time I perceive it. It will be pretty to simply fling money at gamers, preserve them blissful, and purchase reinforcements. It will even be boring and never good for the sport if, say, three wealthy golf equipment simply did that on a regular basis. I am simply glad we appear to be we would preserve maintain of Isak for one more huge season at Newcastle United, and develop/scout different gamers in case we discover ourselves with out him subsequent.
