Gabby Agbonlahor has been talking about Newcastle United and the Alexander Isak situation.
Yes, it is as pathetic as you might have guessed.
Newcastle United fans waiting to see what happens and Gabby Agbonlahor predictably revelling in this Alexander Isak situation.
Only three weeks until the Premier League season kicks off and now the possibility of United losing their main goalscorer and best player.
Some of what Gabby Agbonlahor points out is actually valid but it is framed within this embarrassing desperation to try and get attention, to wind up Newcastle fans, get a reaction.
Gabby Agbonlahor speaking about Alexander Isak on Talksport – 24 July 2025:
“He’s been around Newcastle nearly three years now.
“He’s got three years left on his contract, but he’s probably thought to himself: ‘You know what? Newcastle – big club in Newcastle. Newcastle aren’t a big club worldwide’.
“Just in Newcastle, that’s a fact. Newcastle fans can come on and argue that with me. They’re a big club in Newcastle.
“He’s looking at them thinking: ‘I might want to go and win Ballons d’Or. I might want to win the Champions League. I don’t just play in the Champions League, I want to win it. I want to win the Premier League.
” ‘I’m not 21, I’m 25. Newcastle can’t give me what I want’.
“Isak has done fantastic at Newcastle. I mean, look at some of his stats – 27 in 42 last season, 62 goals in 109 games all together for Newcastle. He’s better than Newcastle.
“For me, himself and Haaland, are probably the best strikers in the world.
“Isak at 25, he’s looking at his career now and thinking: ‘I’ve got you into the Champions League, I won your first trophy in 70 years, I am better than what Newcastle can offer me’.
“He’s looked at the transfer window, only Elanga has been brought in. He knows the money he should be earning.
