Alexander Isak is gone, sealing a Premier League record move to Liverpool in the final hours of deadline day last night.
His social media posts and first big Liverpool interview offered zero respect back to Newcastle or the fans who worshipped him for three years, continuing the [lack of class](https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2025/09/02/disgraceful-from-alexander-isak-wor-flags-hit-out-after-classless-liverpool-interview/) we’ve seen all summer.
Newcastle’s 37-word statement on his exit was justified, given the way he’s downed tools over the past five weeks, refusing to train or play while earning £150,000 per week.
Two of his Newcastle teammates, Anthony Gordon and Sven Botman, have reacted to his exit with posts on their Instagram stories, leaving Newcastle fans wondering why they haven’t read the room just hours after one of THE most disrespectful transfer sagas.
Gordon said: “_Regardless of the situation & what’s gone on. It’s been a pleasure to play with you. One of the best chemistries I’ve had on the pitch and more importantly a great person and teammate. I wish you nothing but the best brother. ❤️”_
Botman said: _“What started off as teammates growed in one of my rare best friendships. No more words needed brother, all the best in your next chapter @alex\_Isak ❤️”_
Are Botman and Gordon still allowed to be friends with Alexander Isak? Of course. Some things are bigger than football.
But does this seem like a stupid thing to post hours after one of THE most disrespectful exits in Newcastle history? Yes.
