British Pundits Slam Isak’s Stance…
Alexander Isak has become the target of a verbal tornado from British pundits Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ally McCoist after the Swedish forward decided he’s too cool for Newcastle United. Liverpool waved a $157.9 million check, but like someone rejecting the last piece of cake, Newcastle said no. To spice things up, Isak declared he’s played his last match for them, just three weeks before the transfer window shuts like a clumsy magician’s disappearing trick. Despite recently scoring a career-best 23 league goals, he’s been solo-training, leaving Newcastle fans wondering if he’s gone from striker to ghostwriter.
Isak has reportedly packed his bags and put his Newcastle mansion back on the rental market, but that didn’t stop pundit McCoist from wondering if Liverpool really wants to sign someone who treats clubs like speed dating. Agbonlahor almost fez-hatted himself in disbelief: “Who does he think he is?” he raged. With Newcastle eyeing Porto’s Samu Omorodion and Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, the squad’s looking more like a high-stakes game of musical chairs. Isak’s original deal might have crumbled faster than a biscuit in tea, but with Liverpool lurking, he might still snag his football fairy tale ending yet.
