‘Disgusting’ – talkSPORT host fuming with Alexander Isak and warns Liverpool over signing him
Former Premier League striker Gabby Agbonlahor is ‘fuming’ with Alexander Isak following his refusal to play again for Newcastle. talkSPORT understands that the striker is so determined to force through a transfer to Liverpool that he won’t feature again. Isak is going to refuse to play again for Newcastle as he tries to force a transferGetty Agbonlahor has been left raging by the Swede’s recent conducttalkSPORT Isak is willing to sit out even if he doesn’t get sold this summer, as he does whatever it takes to get a move to the Reds. It is believed he has no intention of reintegrating himself into Eddie Howe’s squad after being banished from the first-team set-up. And his drastic stance has left talkSPORT host and former Aston Villa forward Agbonlahor raging. Speaking about the latest news in the Isak saga, Agbonlahor ranted: “Wow, who does he think he is? “Who do you think you are, mate? Who do you think you are? “It’s disgusting. What that club’s done for you…” Fellow host Ally McCoist then questioned whether some Liverpool fans could now doubt whether Isak is the type of character that they want at the club following his actions. Agbonlahor replied: “If Real Madrid want him in two years when he’s 27, he’ll do the same to you.” That comment could hit too close to home for Liverpool supporters too, with Trent Alexander-Arnold departing for Real. But of course, Alexander-Arnold did not down tools to get his move to the Spanish giants earlier this summer. Liverpool have been warned that Isak could do the same to them in the futureGetty ‘Who does this guy think he is?’ Agbonlahor continued to discuss Isak’s decision not to play again for Newcastle, looking at the club’s current situation. The Magpies have failed to sign Benjamin Sesko, who joined Manchester United instead, along with many other targets, in what has turned out to be a dismal transfer window. They remain keen on signing Yoane Wissa and the Brentford forward is still expecting to leave the Bees this summer. It means they now head into their first game of the season this weekend with William Osula their only recognised striker. “The fact that Newcastle missed out on Sesko, they’ve got every right to say you’re going nowhere,” Agbonlahor continued. “They’ve lost Callum Wilson, can’t get Wissa over the line yet…they’ve got Villa on Saturday and they could do with him. Isak has been heavily criticised by Agbonlahor for his new stanceGetty “I’m fuming…I’m not a Newcastle fan, but I’m fuming for them, who does this guy think he is? “You’ve had a fantastic season, but settle down a bit, mate.” “I get it, you want to go and explore and go for a bigger club, but if it doesn’t suit the club, shut up. “Get your boots on, it’s a big season for Newcastle, they want to start the season well, Villa away is a tough game. “And now you’re adamant you don’t want to play? What?” Isak may not be featuring, but fans can tune in to Aston Villa vs Newcastle this Saturday at 12:30pm live on talkSPORT. Simon Jordan’s view talkSPORT’s Simon Jordan has also given his verdict on Isak’s new stance that he will not play for Newcastle again. Jordan said: “Isak doesn’t owe the club anything, he signed for the club, has played for the club and performed well for the club, so it’s a partnership between the club and the player. “The club gave him a contract and he played to his natural ability, so the idea of ‘Look at what Newcastle have done for him’…look at what he’s done for Newcastle. “The reality of the situation is quite simple, we’re talking about quotes that are not attributed to the players, we’re talking about understandings from journalists. “The player is using the media so he can funnel information through, we know that these things will be resolved, at some point, this will come to a resolution. “If a player is suggesting through the media that he isn’t going to play for the club again, then that shouldn’t be something that is allowed, as a contract needs to mean something.”
