The Daily Telegraph wrote an article to comment on Newcastle's summer window operations so far. They believe that after missing multiple important goals in succession, Newcastle's operations have been as good as possible, and the overall strength of the team has been improved.
Although Isaac's transfer turmoil has not stopped, Newcastle has saved this chaotic transfer period as much as possible. This summer is full of tests and challenges for Newcastle. Although I missed several primary goals, considering the upcoming new Premier League season and the Champions League in the near future, the Magpies have strengthened the team's starting lineup and bench depth.
From June to July, negative news dominated the public opinion atmosphere in Newcastle. Isaac's transfer problem is still shrouded in St. James' Park, and Newcastle was once considered in crisis. But if they look closely at their transfer operations, including the upcoming introduction of midfielder Jacques Ramsey from Villa for about £40 million, Newcastle has made an upgrade in almost every position that needs to be strengthened.
Some new players may not be the first choice, but they are obviously better than their former players. Newcastle's overall strength is also stronger, with more choices in defense, midfield and wing. Ilanga has a significantly better performance on the right wing than Jacob Murphy, who will continue to act as a competitor and substitute.
Ramsdale is better than Dubluffka (already transferred to Burnley), but he is actually Trafford's substitute target, and Trafford chose to return to Manchester City. Ramsey is also better than Longstaff, who was sold to Leeds United. As for Jafar, he is the target of Eddie Howe's long-term attention. The coach finally ended his two-year wait. Jafar will improve his competitiveness with veteran Fabian Schal in the right center position.
There is no real perfect transfer period for any club, but after missing out on Drapp, Ekitic, Joao Pedro, Cesco and Trafford, Newcastle's summer window is not as bad as it is generally believed. Although Eddie Howe still has major concerns in the center position. This issue is particularly prominent as the transfer window is about to close.
can sign a forward and keep Isaac (although he doesn't want to) so that Newcastle can truly save this summer window. There is still no obvious sign of Isaac's future, and he is further away from Liverpool, who he hopes to join. In any case, Newcastle will lack their strongest striker and most reliable source of goals in the first round of Premier League against Villa this weekend.
Even if the board insists on not letting go, they still hold this position to date, and there is no guarantee that Isaac will contribute to the team as he did in the past three years. Isaac showed a willful and irritable personality, and in order to realize his personal ambitions, he did not hesitate to break with the club.
If Isaac fails to transfer to the Reds as he wishes, his road to redemption will be long and difficult. According to sources, Newcastle believes that even an absent-minded and depressed Isaac is stronger than other strikers in the transfer market.
We have been communicating with people related to the Isaac incident. It seems that Newcastle believes that Isaac can be retained and will work hard to get him back to the first team at the right time. Unfortunately, unless the coach can convince the player that trying to force the team is a serious mistake, it is unlikely to happen until the transfer window is closed.
Although Isaac's agent has been criticized a lot, players must also bear part of the responsibility. If Isaac does stay, countless apology is inevitable and fans’ anger must be greeted. Newcastle is also looking for players who may replace Isaac, but they don't have much confidence or hope for it.
Since you are going to participate in the Champions League next season, buying a potential striker is not Newcastle's first choice. What they need is enough level of combat power, and the faster the better. Newcastle is also paying attention to Brentford forward Visa, but he has always been seen as Wilson's replacement, not Isaac.
Brentford also said that he would not sell Visa until he found a suitable replacement, but it seems that the deal is expected to be completed. If I can sign Sesco or Ekitic, Isaac may have left the team. In short, Newcastle's attitude is still firm. If Liverpool does not meet their valuations and cannot find a suitable replacement, Isaac will not leave.
