Alexander Isak

Because our club is too proud to hold a player against his will.

Legendary Cruyff quote: "If you have second thoughts about playing for Barcelona, you are no longer of service to us"

But not all clubs operate like this.

And this is it Loki, I've been a Barca fan for over 30 years and probably that has put some ideals in me that can be seen as "unconventional" - but Cruyff was/is right - that's why I'm a die-hard fan of this amazing club ❤️

Newcastle are a CL side which FFP are restricting what their owners can pump in and becoming a modern club as big as Liverpool, City etc.

They want to protect their interests. People didn't mind when PSG done this with Baguette or Nipples with Osimhen.

They protect their "interest", Pool' is willing to pay 150M for Isaak and he probably had some verbal agreement. But sure, legally Newcastle are in their right - but Isaak won't help them for shit and 150M for Newcastle owner is like a Coke Zero to me...

Also, "proud" is not the correct word I think - it's simply quite logical and rational that a player who believes in the idea of a club and its history and vision will give all they have and than some more. Still, Newcastle are contractually in their full right to do what they're trying to do - but they have zero "fingerspitzengefühl"... Shearer days for sure ain't coming back if they act like bitches about Isaak.

And these things are always on a case to case basis. But I know some people who actually know Isaak - he really seems like an honest and uncompromising person.
