Alan Shearer on Alexander Isak’s Transfer Drama…
Alan Shearer has hit Alexander Isak with the kind of criticism that would make even his grandma consider changing her last name. The Swedish striker is currently in the doghouse with Newcastle—deemed so out of favor that he’s now looking up local Liverpool real estate on Zillow instead of practicing with his team. Shearer quipped on BBC Radio 5 Live that Isak’s antics sting the fans more than a bee after a double-shot espresso. With a ÂŁ100,000-a-week salary, Isak’s loyalty is being weighed against working men hoping for a win—not a waltz to Merseyside!
Isak was as conspicuous in Newcastle’s lineup against Aston Villa as a cat at a dog show. The clock is ticking louder than Big Ben during a thunderstorm for a resolution, but Liverpool’s previous offer wasn’t met with open arms—or legs. Manager Eddie Howe, who seems to still shop at Optimism R Us, says he is open to bringing Isak back to the team, possibly complete with a sappy apology letter and a fruit basket. Howe hopes things can be smoothed over, but the ongoing saga is juicier than a soap opera subplot!
