Having disseminated the message that he considered himself an ex-Newcastle player last week, perhaps he hadn’t realised there was still another bridge to burn.
Ridiculous, isn’t it? Rather than doing what they’re handsomely paid to do as the Premier League season kicks off, two of the division’s most prolific strikers make the conscious decision to sit on the sidelines, sending out various degrees of shade because their clubs refuse to roll over and have their bellies tickled by clubs higher up the food chain.
“High prices, not much quality left, no willing sellers,” one recruitment source tells The i Paper.
Still, by taking a very public and performative route to trying to get their wish, both Wissa and Isak can’t complain if it blows up in their face by 1 September, as now feels increasingly likely.
Take Wissa. As of Tuesday, a move to Newcastle wasn’t dead but it wasn’t exactly flourishing, even long before his social media shenanigans at the start of the week.
Isak and Wissa may well not get their moves (Photo: PA)Dango Ouattara came through the door at Brentford over the weekend but he’s Bryan Mbeumo’s successor. So Brentford need another player in and Newcastle know this. If the Magpies were aware of that, why weren’t those who have been advising Wissa to go down this route of no return?
But transfer market dynamics are a thing and now there is less than a fortnight until the deadline. So a desperation premium gets applied to the price and it starts to get out of whack with what Newcastle, still hemmed in by profitability and sustainability rules (PSR), are prepared to pay.
Instead there’s a deep unease among many Newcastle fans at Wissa’s Instagram disrespect, especially as his conduct is starting to look strikingly similar to their own non-playing forward.
It’s understood that when Newcastle’s delegation first spoke to Brentford’s, both remarked on how similar the situations were. So there’s a certain amount of respect at St James’ Park for the way Brentford are digging in, just as they are with Isak – who has scandalously withdrawn his services in a desperate bid to force through his move to Liverpool.

What we have in the vacuum that’s left is a whole load of wishful thinking from Liverpool supporters, who climbed on the idea that Newcastle might just buy Wissa and decide to sell Isak. But the strong message from the very top at St James’ Park is that has never been the case.
This is, remember, Newcastle’s big sale and a chance to reset the whole club from a PSR perspective. There’s a chance to come out of an Isak sale stronger, but not by panic buying.
Both players could yet get their moves. But they’re taking a huge gamble by not acting the right way – and the cost could be a humiliating climbdown when first team reintegration is back on the agenda.
