Newcastle United sells Alexander Isak to Liverpool not only a mere deal, but also exposing big questions about this team's ambition.
 |
To be fair, the closed transfer market also gives Newcastle a bit of peace. After a few weeks of tiredness and full of confusion, Isak left as if he had ended a boil, so that Eddie Howe could focus on the players who really want to dedicate at St James' Park. No longer having to calculate the story of “healing” with a falling hero, who has just been “bastard” by the Theater fans in the last match.
In the first three rounds of the season, Howe had to play without a real striker, just because the story of Isak was not over. Now at least he can decisively do it again. The summer transfer is not necessarily failed, they still add depth, keeping the balance compared to May. The match against Aston Villa and Liverpool itself proved that Newcastle still had bravery and quality, even though the 0-0 draw with Leeds United was really not worth mentioning.

Shortly, Newcastle may still live well. They still have many things to wait, from the Champions League meeting Barcelona to proving his bravery in adversity. They used to be stubborn, winners.
But it is ridiculous to call this summer. The problem is at a longer range. Instead of being able to hold Isak and renew the contract in the context of the first time after many years they have money to spend, Newcastle has losing one of the few world -class stars and pain rather than losing to Liverpool itself, the team they have defeated in the Carabao Cup final. That is the most obvious evidence that this club's ambition is shaking.
Going back to early March when Darren Eales, CEO of Newcastle sitting with the press to discuss the club's annual financial situation. Alternating between the numbers are a few questions about football, including straight questions about selling Isak. Eales replied, “As you know, we have an ambitious owner and always want the best thing for the club. So, thinking about selling Isak is crazy.”
When asked about the rumor of Isak, Liverpool and some other teams were concerned, he also said: “We have the ambition to become a top club, so the feeling is quite uncomfortable when people see us as a second -class club, if you want to rumors about our players.”
And what if some players express their desire to leave? Eales said firmly: “The fact that all of our players has signed a long -term contract. They commit to the club. We have no intention of selling anyone.”
Now looking back, those words were “as fast as milk in the sun” and only made people more frustrated.
