Full of it. I know the head-chopping monarchs of Saudi Arabia need journalists who can produce some face saving for them, but the truth is that NUFC managed the situation abysmally. Alexander Isak is not a slave, he doesn't have to tolerate the whims of irrational monarchs.

Don't use our hashtag for Saudi head choppers propaganda.

I think the most disappointing thing about Alexander Isak forcing his move to Liverpool is that he’s disrespected his very own legacy at Newcastle United.
The pin up boy, every young fan’s favourite player and the man that scored the winning goal to end a 70 year trophy drought. He was a club legend and could do no wrong.
But this summer, he did. He’s essentially thrown those three years away, as if he had very little or no respect for the bonds he had built and the things he himself had achieved. It’s a quite incredible fall from grace for someone who had written their name into club folklore #NUFC #LFC

🚨 Alexander Isak arrives in Liverpool to sign a six year deal valid until June 2031.

The deal will cost £125m to Liverpool as Newcastle will get £130m — including solidarity payment.

#LFC and #NUFC already started exchanging all the documents overnight.

🚨 Newcastle United Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan is set to attend St James’ Park tonight to watch Newcastle v Liverpool.
🇸🇦 THE PIF Governor last attended a home match in February v Nottingham Forest.
🏆 Al-Rumayyan was at Wembley back in March when #NUFC beat #LFC in the Carabao Cup Final.

"Dominoes are starting to fall into place" for the NUFC summer of managerial incompetence and unnecessary attention sink. Apparently we learn that Bournemouth are looking to replace one of their players, who would go to Brentford to occupy the room left by Wissa, who would in turn move to NUFC, so that NUFC begin to sort the mess they made with Isak.
Do you understand it? I understand it, but I can't imagine this happening to a serious club.

This could be a significant development, if NUFC finally manage to sign a striker (it seems plausible that Yoane Wissa is ready to do exactly that) that will relieve some pressure from NUFC management, providing a modicum of face saving before their increasingly and justifiably anxious supporters. If Wissa's signing succeeds, that will offer NUFC a pathway to release Alexander Isak with moderately less public embarrassment and taking less heat from supporters.
