We don't know that's exactly the case. It's simply the narrative being pushed by his agent to the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it is, he's happy for his agent to push that narrative, which in turn would be very odd if that were the case. Fact is he's not training with the 1st team and he's refusing to play for us.

But firstly, as a foreigner he might not even be aware of Liverpool's reputation for burglary. Secondly, when you personally experience a home invasion, that picture hits home much more than theory. I know it happened with me at a former residence, it's hard to disassociate from the location once you experienced it. Although Ponteland shouldn't feel that threatening tbf. All the daft Judas cunt needs to do is go onto the Google, type “footballers burgled Cheshire” and there’s about a million billion news articles about how rife is round there Fair point on the not feeling safe in a property where you’ve had a home invasion though, that’s completely understandable. Although as a millionaire renter he can up sticks easily enough and move somewhere in the Newcastle area with better security Edited August 18, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation is nowhere near as dramatic as the media are painting it out to be. Agree. Fans understandably get more emotional about these things, but at a professional level there's big money and livelihoods at stake. Players and agents will use the media to try and affect outcomes, but there's a reason why they are still careful not to be quoted directly in case they have to backtrack.

It would tally well with what Edward’s said in his article last week, ie he’s being told he is staying no matter what, and therefore needs to go away and come to terms with it.

We've been told he's gone on strike and is refusing to play. He wasn't in the squad on Saturday. It's not a good look for him and he's come in for some stick of the fans and his team mates alike. I'm pretty sure that if this wasn't the case and he hadn't gone on strike, somebody from his camp would have come out by now and explained that this is not the case. If not them even someone from the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Another thing that seems to tally with Luke Edward’s’ scoop is that the players seem remarkably relaxed about Isak’s absence and none of them seem critical at all. Add that with the togetherness of Saturday’s performance and it makes me wonder if they have been told that Isak will 100% be a NUFC player next season and in the meantime just have to get on with it while all of this drama plays out.

The media have also said that Isak told the club he wanted out in May, something which the club absolutely refute. I’m not buying a single thing that is coming out from the media.

andycap Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 This is looking like he wants his position to become untenable at the club like. You'd think he'd been mistreated by the club I'd fine the fucker as much as I could, so it gets to the point he's sleeping in his hummer full time.

If this wasn't the case the whole messy situation could simply be put to bed by either someone from Isaks camp or the club coming out and rubbishing it. They haven't because he's on strike!

We have been told by journalists he is on strike, not by the club. If he has told the club he won’t come to work due to being in a bad headspace that’s not the same as being on strike. It happens in work environments all of the time. He could basically be pulling a sickie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't because they can't. Isak’s camp won’t rubbish it because they want the situation to be unretrievable. His agent will have briefed all of the necessary media outlets with the same story. The club haven’t even been asked if the player is on strike in any media briefings. Howe has not been asked the question even once. They are not going to fuel the fire by answering questions that they haven’t even been asked. All of Howe’s answers so far point to Isak saying “sorry boss but I can’t do my job while my head is affected by all of this”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
