Players turn backs on Newcastle moves…
Rio Ferdinand is scratching his head like he’s trying to solve a Sudoku puzzle with missing numbers as players continue to shun Newcastle this transfer window. Eddie Howe, the Magpies manager, is truly feeling as frustrated as a cat stuck outside with a locked cat flap. The saga of Alexander Isak’s infatuation with Liverpool has been in the spotlight, while players like Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, and Hugo Ekitike have turned down a move to the Tyneside club, making them about as welcome as a porcupine in a balloon factory.
Despite feeling like they’re collecting rejection letters instead of players, Newcastle has successfully signed Anthony Elanga and Malick Thiaw, which is like finally winning a stuffed teddy bear after spending all afternoon at the carnival. Meanwhile, the Isak drama continues with the superstar being absent like your internet connection when you need it the most. Eddie Howe is hopeful for a resolution but it’s as tense as a marathon runner waiting for a photo-finish verdict. The Magpies prepare to face Liverpool soon, ready for an encounter that could turn the field into a comedy wrestling match.
