Isak’s Liverpool Move Antics Criticized…
Football pundit Ally McCoist is wagging his finger at Alexander Isak, claiming the Swedish striker is letting down everyone from his cat to the entire population of Newcastle! Isak is reportedly boycotting games to join Liverpool before the transfer window shuts—he’s even training alone, probably feeling like the last cookie in an empty biscuit tin. Manager Eddie Howe has benched Isak for Saturday’s match against Aston Villa, feeling uneasy about selecting a player dreamier eyed than Cinderella at a royal ball.
Liverpool’s only bid for Isak so far would probably get laughed out of a flea market, coming nowhere close to Newcastle’s towering $202 million price tag. Isak’s actions have been as missing-in-action as a magician’s assistant, and the Newcastle squad’s Asian tour must’ve felt like a band tour missing its lead singer. As Newcastle searches for striker options with more urgency than a kid looking for ice cream on a hot day, manager Howe may have to try Anthony Gordon up front and other players might be queued up like ducks waiting for dinner.
