Newcastle striker Isaac is currently in a transfer storm. Liverpool has been pursuing him this summer, but the Magpies insist on not letting go. English journalist Sam McGuire posted a message to support Isaac and believed that Newcastle was the initiator of the Isaac transfer storm.

"Liverpool is a bad guy, and Isaac is also a bad guy." This seems to have become the mainstream public opinion tone for the Premier League champion this summer's failed pursuit of the Newcastle striker.
And what about the good guy Newcastle, he refuses to be bullied, right?
Isaac, who is at the peak of his career, dares to dream of competing for top honors? How dare you see how you perform in the most successful club in England?
As for Liverpool, they actually dare to strengthen their lineup to defend the Premier League after losing key players on the front line? Richard Hughes (Liverpool Sports Director), IMHO, how dare you buy Isaac at the highest transfer price in UK history?
That's how it is, isn't it? Everyone acted as if Liverpool was trying to push Newcastle's offer. This is not the case. Liverpool's offer is £110 million, and most of the fees are paid in one lump sum rather than five-year installments.
So far, this is a record offer. If Wiltz's additional clause is activated, his transfer fee may exceed that number, but now his transfer fee is £100 million.
Liverpool wants to reach an agreement. They hope that the deal will be simple and direct to both parties and do not want to cause trouble.
They could have achieved their goal by repeatedly harassing players like countless teams in the past.
Barcelona's three offers for Coutinho were rejected, and finally convinced Liverpool to sell it. From the initial £62 million to the last £140 million. They tried to force Liverpool, but eventually angered the Reds. As a result, they had to pay a higher price to sign the Brazilian star.
Chelsea initially offered £60 million for Kesaido, but in the end he signed him for more than £100 million. If their initial offer is close to the final price, who knows what the final transfer fee will be?
Of course, each team wants to get the most cost-effective price, so the negotiations exist. But there is a clear line between serious quotations and simply coercing sellers to lower prices.
Liverpool weighed the trade-off and considered the £110 million offer to be very reasonable. Newcastle will never get a transfer fee of 200 million pounds from Isaac, and I suspect it won't even be 150 million pounds.
So this price is not offensive, provocative or underprivileged to Newcastle, as some people suggest.
In this case, Liverpool's attitude towards handling is much more respectful than many clubs, but they are still regarded as bad people. Similarly, Isaac is portrayed as a villain.
says he is greedy, selfish, and unprofessional. But that's not the case, right?
He asked for a contract renewal last season but was rejected by former Newcastle sports director Paul Mitchell. Mitchell believes that despite Isaac's goal, his contract is long enough that he will not be considered a priority for renewal.
He wanted to renew his contract, but it was not realized in the end. Is this Isaac's fault? no.
Newcastle's operations made the situation even more tense: while marking the players with high prices, they tried to persuade potential sellers to withdraw, and said they could not raise Isaac's salary at the market price of a £150 million striker. I want to reiterate that this is the club's problem, not the players' responsibility.
We later learned that Isaac told the club that he wanted to leave last season. He reiterated this in May and raised it again at the end of the season. At first, his attitude was respectful, and he gave Newcastle enough time to find a replacement, but they didn't do it.
Now, Isaac has received punishment instead because the League Cup champion team of last season failed to convince any of Cunya, Mbemo, Drapp, Joao Pedro or Ekitic to join. They even missed goalkeeper Trafford after talking to Burnley for several months.
Newcastle looks messy inside. In that case, why should Isaac believe the reports of some reporters saying that the team will agree to let him leave next summer?
The striker is trying to get the transfer he thinks he deserves. He chose to exile himself and cut off his back, not because he wanted to do so, but because he had no choice. Can you blame him? Liverpool is not just saying or doing it. They have given record quotes and are very timely. But Isaac was unable to leave.
This summer has also strengthened his determination to leave.
Newcastle struggles in the transfer market but struggles to attract top players. The team missed a lot of big-name stars, and they couldn't meet Isaac's ambitions. So, if that's the case, why do players waste time there?
As for those who say he owes Newcastle a lot--he doesn't actually owe it, doesn't he? Newcastle did spend a lot of money on him, but he also helped the team win its first championship in years and also qualify for the Champions League in the new season. In addition, he will leave a UK record transfer fee for Newcastle.
Earlier this summer, Alan Shearer said of Arnold's situation: "I don't understand the criticisms, he has the right to do whatever he wants."
"He paid everything for that club. Indeed, he was very paid, but he won everything. If he wanted to challenge himself and play for Real Madrid abroad, go for it. Liverpool rejected his offer in January, and they could have made a profit from the players."
"He played about 350 games and was always giving his all. They should have given him a grand farewell."
And when it came to Isaac, the tolerance disappeared. Is it ironic?
Newcastle has already marked a price of nearly £150 million, so we want to see what Liverpool will do next. The problem at the moment is that if Newcastle can’t get the money they want or doesn’t sign two forwards they want, then Isaac will stay.
So, Liverpool and Isaac became villains. But Newcastle, who refused to renew the contract with the player, failed to complete the signing, and to be honest, asked for a huge price for transfer fees, became a victim? Does this make sense? Obviously so far, this is completely unreasonable.
