If he can't be persuaded to stay, and someone offers Newcastle what they want, then they have to take it. In the end, you have to say thank you for the memories and goodbye, says Shearer in the podcast
.
Shearer, who scored 148 goals in 303 matches for Newcastle between 1996–2006, would most like Isak to stay.
I'm not angry with him. I understand his mentality. But do I like it? Two different things. If it's not possible to get him to think differently, and it seems that way, then you have to take the money for him and recruit a replacement, says Shearer.
The 54-year-old, who was temporarily coach of Newcastle in 2009, at the same time criticizes the club for a "catastrophic transfer window so far" and says that "they will probably lose their best player" (Isak).
Alexander Isak was not with Newcastle when the team traveled to Asia for the preseason tour, the official message was that he is injured. British media have, however, consistently reported that Isak wants to leave the club and sign with the championship team Liverpool.
On Monday, Isak was back in Newcastle to train with the team he is contracted to.
