Newcastle United's frustration grows amid Alexander Isak transfer saga...


Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has expressed his frustration and regret over the ongoing Alexander Isak transfer saga, describing the situation as a “lose-lose” scenario. Isak, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool, has publicly accused Newcastle of breaking promises, leading to a strained relationship between the player and the club. Howe confirmed that Isak won't play against Liverpool on Monday, citing the uncertainty surrounding the player's future.


Potential Backlash and Isak's Future

Howe believes that Newcastle's supporters could forgive Isak if he returns to the team, emphasizing that the player is a “fantastic player, a good person, and a good lad.” However, the situation remains unresolved, with Isak pushing for a transfer and Newcastle reportedly rejecting a £110 million bid from Liverpool. The transfer window closes on September 1, and if Isak remains with Newcastle, Howe expects the player to be welcomed back into the squad.


Liverpool Vs Newcastle match promises to be an intriguing encounter, given the transfer saga surrounding Isak. Despite the tension, Howe remains focused on the game, while also hoping for a resolution to the Isak situation.




Newcastle United Manager's Update on Key Player's Future

The Toon manager has confirmed that a key player won't be part of the squad this weekend, hinting that the player's future at Newcastle United is uncertain. “He won't be part of the squad this weekend,” the manager stated, emphasizing that the club's primary concern is the well-being and success of Newcastle United. “The club has to act in the best interests of Newcastle United. It will do that in every situation,” the manager added, suggesting that a decision regarding the player's future will be made with the club's best interests in mind.


The manager's comments imply that the player's time at Newcastle United might be drawing to a close. “It looks like it is coming to an end, or it will come to an end pretty quickly,” the manager said, without specifying the exact circumstances surrounding the player's potential departure.


“It is disappointing I am having to mention this at length and taking us away from the football. The players have done well to blank it all out. It is there in the background, it is regrettable that we are in this situation.”


Alexander Isak and Newcastle United's Public Spat

A sad moment unfolded as Alexander Isak and Newcastle United exchanged public statements, highlighting the player's frustration at being blocked from joining Liverpool. Isak expressed his discontent on social media, stating, “The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can’t continue. That’s where things are for me right now – and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.”


Newcastle United responded strongly, saying, “We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening. We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.” The club emphasized that they must act in the best interests of Newcastle United, the team, and its supporters in all decisions.


Newcastle United's manager, has confirmed that Isak won't be part of the squad for the upcoming match against Liverpool. “He won't be part of the squad this weekend. The club has to act in the best interests of Newcastle United. It will do that in every situation,” Howe said. He added that the situation ”looks like it is coming to an end, or it will come to an end pretty quickly.”


“He’s contracted to us. He’s our player. My wish is that he would be playing on Monday. He won’t be and that’s regrettable. But 100 per cent I want him back in a Newcastle shirt.”



Eddie Howe's Plea to Alexander Isak and the Toon Support

Eddie Howe has expressed his hope that the relationship between Alexander Isak and the club's fans can still be salvaged. “The relationship between our fans and Isak can still be good,” Howe said, adding that fan reaction largely depends on a player's performance. “The fans will always react to the way a player plays,” he emphasized, highlighting the importance of Isak's on-field contributions.


Howe also acknowledged that there are two sides to every story, hinting at the complexities surrounding Isak's potential departure. “There is always two sides to a story,” he said, “We will see where we are in a week’s time. I hope I can work with him again.” This statement suggests that Howe is open to resolving the issue and potentially working with Isak in the future.


Isak's future remains uncertain ahead of Newcastle's match against Liverpool on August 25. Despite the tension, Howe has expressed his desire to see Isak in a Newcastle shirt again. “He's contracted to us. He’s our player… and yes, 100% I want him back in a Newcastle shirt,” Howe said, emphasizing his commitment to the player.


Electric Atmosphere Awaits at St. James' Park

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is expecting an electric atmosphere at St. James' Park when his team hosts Liverpool on Monday, August 25, 2025. Given the controversy surrounding Alexander Isak, Howe anticipates a passionate display from the home support. ”The first home game is always going to be electric. Under the lights, evening games are always really special for us,” he said. “I have no doubt this will be a really passionate display from the home support.” The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 WAT, and fans can expect a thrilling encounter between two teams with a rich history.


“He'll be available. We've still got training sessions to go before the game, but he's in a good place and has looked really impressive. Really, really good technically, very intelligent, and I think he'll add a lot to the team. He has standout qualities.”


Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe will get a boost with the availability of Jacob Ramsey, the newest signing from Aston Villa. Ramsey, a 24-year-old English midfielder, joined Newcastle on a long-term deal for an undisclosed fee, reportedly around £40 million. This signing brings the total number of Newcastle's summer arrivals to four, following Anthony Elanga, Aaron Ramsdale, and Malick Thiaw.



Jacob Ramsey's Profile:

  • Age: 24 years old
  • Position: Attacking midfielder
  • Height: 1.80m
  • Nationality: English
  • Previous Club: Aston Villa


Ramsey, who made 167 appearances for Aston Villa, is expected to bring a different dynamic to Newcastle's squad with his youthful energy and Premier League experience. “Jacob is another fantastic addition to our squad. His qualities will bring us something different on the pitch, and he fits the profile of being young and hungry to develop, but also with a wealth of Premier League football,” Howe said, expressing his satisfaction with the signing.


Gordon Steps Up to Striker Role

With Alexander Isak frozen out, Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe will likely deploy winger Anthony Gordon in a central attacking role against Liverpool. This tactical move will see Gordon taking on a new position, utilizing his skills and versatility to create scoring opportunities for the team. Gordon's pace, skill, and adaptability make him a suitable candidate to fill the void left by Isak's absence.




The manager said, “He’s done it enough to do the job really well for the team. I have no issue playing him there, both as a starter and a substitute. He plays differently to other strikers, but that can be a positive.


“He’s got devastating pace, a really good work ethic, and he’s scored goals. I think he played really well last week in lots of different phases of his game.”


Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has addressed rumors that Alexander Isak might not be welcomed back by his teammates if he decides to stay. According to Howe, the players would likely welcome Isak back with open arms. “There’s no doubt how the players will feel. I think they will feel the same way I do...if Alex decided to come and play for us, the players would welcome him back,” Howe said, expressing his confidence in the team's unity and willingness to move forward.
