Newcastle thinks Isaac doesn t have to make a fuss like this; this is the last transaction before his agent retires

Hupu August 15th News Daily Mail's famous reporter Craig Hope wrote an exclusive Isaac column.

Isaac is stopping training. Newcastle United inside and outside the team now has no choice. His words and deeds mean he cannot participate in the Premier League debut against Aston Villa at noon Saturday.

He doesn't want to train with the team, which means he will not be able to compete in all competitions for the foreseeable future, and the club is still paying him a weekly salary of £140,000.

As of last weekend, he has not been fined by the club. We understand that if he missed a formal game, things would change, just like this weekend.

But as long as the transfer window is still open, Isaac's position will not change. Or rather, his agent Frado Lemicci's attitude will not change.

Why? They worry that if Isaac does cross the line, Newcastle United will ask him to stop playing and may slow down the pace of finding a backup forward.

"Alex, don't show any signs of weakness," this is the order of his team.

But while listening to the advice of those who hope to succeed in the transfer – said to be the last big contract Lemitch had before retirement at the age of 60 – Isaac had already shown a discontent that disappointed Newcastle’s closest to him.

The word "disappointment" is also appropriate. It's not anger, nor disgust. In fact, people still have some sympathy. As a club senior official said, "Things don't have to be like this."

Eddie Howe has many aspects as a coach, but he is essentially an upright person. He, his staff and club executives all know what Isaac feels, and it has been more than a year since he and his staff are.

At least at this point, they know that Isaac is upset with the decision last summer to break the promise of a new contract by former co-owner Amanda Staveley, who believes Isaac deserves a big pay raise.

Earlier this summer, Isaac and his agent expressed their willingness to leave, according to an exclusive report from the Daily Mail. But everything that happened thereafter, and its unpleasant nature, was unnecessary. This is where the boss, management and teammates are frustrated.

Isaac spent three brilliant years at Newcastle, scoring 62 goals in 109 games, including the club's first trophy-winning goal in 70 years. He wanted to leave for sports and financial reasons.

As one source said, even if Isaac made a public statement to show his wishes, he continued to train and play, the club would still explore other strikers and find a solution that works for all parties. They did the same thing in the end, but the bitter taste was lingering.
