Eddie Howe criticized Alexander Isaac for hurting their relationship, revealing that £125 million refused to play under his management team. The Newcastle boss was held an emergency debate with ISAK after the players refused to take part in the club’s preseason Far East Tour, and was further snuck out last month when ISAK refused to play against Aston Villa.
Isaac’s move to Liverpool was confirmed on the deadline, but Howe confessed that Isaac had gone on a “strike” in Newcastle, reflecting the worsening relationship. As Newcastle prepares to play the Wolves in the Premier League without Isaac, Howe said:
Isaac’s position is met by Joane Wissa and Nick Urtemaid, but Dr. Congo International misses the match against the wolf due to a knee injury.
Following in the footsteps of his predecessor and leading the attack on the wolves is Urtemeid, the German word for £69 million. Hau added: “Alex and I have always enjoyed a great relationship.
“I love working with him and I hope he loved working with us. I hope it’s mutually beneficial. We helped him as a player. He helped us as a team.
However, after ISAK refused to travel to the Far East for the preseason, he opposed making it available for Premier League campaigns.

Although Howe demanded time and patience regarding his new signature, both Wissa and Jacob Ramsey would miss a clash with the wolf.
Ramsey has been facing bystanders for about a month following an ankle problem supported in Leeds two weeks ago while Wissa is nursing her knee complaints.
When questioned whether the transfer window had proven successful, Howe replied. “Time is always its best judge.
“My intuition is that it was strong. It’s very important to move on. When the game’s schedule comes in, it’s a quick turnaround and you need a full team. So, we’ve had people in the last two weeks.
“We always have challenges in many different ways. Whether it’s a successful window or a challenging window, that time will be the judge of it. That’s a clear focus now. It’s just football, so there’s no distraction.”
Ultimately, Hau predicted that Wissa would prove a wise takeover, saying, “He was a Premier League scorer that is extremely difficult to find, a history of scoring goals, and a difficult player for us to handle.
