Evaluation: What do Newcastle do now?

Sky Sports activities Information’ Keith Downie:

“Newcastle wanted to use this window to build, they wanted to bring in four players. A goalkeeper, a central defender, a right winger and another forward.

“They’ve introduced in Anthony Elanga, they needed a second striker to return in and compete with Alexander Isak. That they had these talks with Frankfurt [about Hugo Ekitike], Liverpool hijacked that and nonetheless retain an curiosity in Isak as nicely.

“It’s not what the Newcastle fans want to hear ahead of a Champions League season where they’ll be battling on two major fronts. They want to hold onto their best players – the last thing they want to hear is Isak’s head being turned.

“Eddie Howe is a superb man supervisor however he will must do the very best man administration job of all time to attempt to get Isak right into a optimistic mind set going into the season.

“Studying between the traces, the actual fact he is requested to discover his choices, his head has been turned. He is been left again right here in Newcastle, one as a result of damage but additionally as a result of he is been affected by the curiosity.

“Isak is one of the best players in the Premier League, he’s arguably the best striker in the Premier League. He feels he should be paid similar to the top strikers, and he’s not at Newcastle. If he moved to a new club, whether that’s Liverpool or elsewhere, he would be remunerated in that way.

“The membership are going to have to return to some sort of conclusion right here – does he get a pay rise? Do they let him communicate to different golf equipment? Or do they permit time and house for the state of affairs to relax over the following few weeks?

“But you ask me what happens now, either someone comes in and stumps up the £150m Newcastle are looking for, or Isak signs a new contract or bigger money, or he just gets his head back into being a Newcastle player – and begins the season in a positive frame of mind.

“However it’s a fragile state of affairs, this one. The very last thing Eddie Howe needed, the very last thing Newcastle followers needed. Howe sounded exhausted after the Celtic sport on Saturday. There isn’t any sporting director in the intervening time, they’re searching for a brand new CEO too.

“Eddie Howe and his nephew Andy have been involved at the front of the whole transfer plan this summer, and Newcastle have been bruised. They’ve tried for Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Dean Huijsen and been unable to get any of them.

“Newcastle are nonetheless in superior negotiations over a deal for Yoane Wissa, however he was meant to be the back-up to Isak, not their solely striker.”
