Howe Gives Isak Update Before Aston Villa Game…
Newcastle United is still twiddling its thumbs waiting for that elusive second bid from Liverpool for Swedish sensation Alexander Isakβwho seems to be as elusive as Bigfoot in terms of making a decision. Coach Eddie Howe has confirmed that Isak hibernates calmly in isolation, dreaming of goals while being unconsidered for the Premier League opener against Aston Villa. Howe remains positive that the Toon warriors, busy shopping like it’s Black Friday, will hold on to Isak. After all, keeping a player “contracted” might just be the football version of Level 10 wizardry.
When talking to reporters, Howe politely side-stepped discussions of private chats with Isak while his attempts at convincing the player remain a topic of secret debates akin to the world deciding what the heck goes on a pizza. Howe’s transfer plans include signing a striker, regardless of Isak’s glacial decision-making pace. Howe also shared that Malick Thiaw, fresh from two days of intense training boot camp-style, is set to showcase his talents alongside newbies like Aaron Ramsdale and Anthony Elanga, while Joe Willock is doing his best impression of a couch potato just one corn chip away from fitness.
