Carragher speaks: Some Liverpool fans see Isak’s hard line as a cause for celebration. But Carragher, who sounds decidedly lukewarm about the deal, is not one of them. “I don’t like it when a player downs tools,” he tells The i Paper. “I wouldn’t like it if it was a Liverpool player and I do feel for the Newcastle fans a bit. “He’s obviously a god to them, a hero.” Carragher’s position is that he thinks Isak will be at Anfield before 1 September. He believes Newcastle fans, begrudgingly, will recognise that he wants to compete for the biggest trophies. But taking the nuclear option of refusing to be considered for selection is never the right path. “I don’t think any Newcastle fan is naive to think that Alexander Isak is going to spend his whole career at the club,” Carragher, speaking on behalf of Sky Sports ahead of the new season, continues. “Sometimes a problem occurs – and it happened at Liverpool when I was there with Steven Gerrard – where the player outgrows the club. He’s almost too good and that’s what has probably happened here. “Newcastle are delighted to be in the Champions League, Isak wants to win it. That’s when you have a problem and the player wants to move on. So I’ve got no problem with Isak wanting to leave but he’s in a difficult situation with his contract because Newcastle have the power and there’s three years to go. Should he have had a buy-out clause, should he be looking at his agent now he finds himself in this position? “Transfers happen every summer but I don’t think you should ever go toxic or nuclear where you refuse to play or train. That may be what forces the move in the end, so who am I to say it’s wrong, but I just don’t like it. They’re paying his wages, they’ve been great to you, you’ve been great for them, just keep training, keep playing and hope a deal gets done.”

Fucking paid for bollocks, proper cringe worthy

Some scousers see it too

Joins Delap by chasing the big bucks rather than thinking about his career.

Fans of other clubs see it too

I tell you what Michail, poor Isak that’s paid £120k a week and refusing to go to work on a contract he signed. Yeah we’re treating him like meat…

El Khannouss only wants Newcastle

Get in! Cracking player, exactly what we need. Under the radar like that Ndoye at Everton.

One for the rat Isak

He’s the perfect striker for Howe to work with…Howe loves a tall and skinny/slim striker, as seen with Isak and the pursuit of Ekitike.

Got something about him this lad, snappy in the tackle and might get some minutes this season.

Fantastic in the air, will get on the end of a lot of crosses

That’s more fucking like it

Why’s he’s quoting the figure in fucking euro, understand Romano because he’s Italian but Ornstein no fucking excuse.

Always quotes Liverpool sales in euro to make it look higher and their buys in pounds

Just sign some fucking players, that’s all.

48 hour deadline must be over by now

It’s been obvious he gets no briefing from our side…Not bothered by that update in the slightest. Still don’t think it’s a done deal yet.

The annoying thing with some of them like Pedro and Ekitike, we did try and get them initially when they were a tier below and failed then as well.

Loves a sliding tackle but seems to have decent pace

We need to be smarter and sign players in March/April for the summer, like Brighton did for Pedro to beat competition.

From Ornstein late yesterday: Everton have made an improved bid for Southampton winger Tyler Dibling. Southampton are yet to respond to the offer, which is worth in the region of £40million including add-ons, but they are seeking a higher fee for the teenager, and it is expected to be rebuffed. Everton have already seen an opening offer for Dibling turned down this summer. He is keen to return to the Premier League, having never played in the Championship, following Southampton’s relegation last season. The 19-year-old’s contract at St. Mary’s runs until 2027 and he has also attracted interest from Aston Villa and Newcastle United. https://archive.ph/Yhuxt
