I’ve just watched his latest video and found nowt wrong with it. A decent bit of insight on some behind the scenes stuff and a good overall presentation of what’s gone on.

 

Comes across as a thoughtful fella imo.

 

Always knew you a Gemmill were like-minded, like peas in a pod or soulmates even.

 

Sorry if that insults you.

Just re-reading Howe's comments on Isak after the Celtic game less than seven weeks ago:

 

On the absence of Alexander Isak:

 

"The last thing Alex wants if he is not playing is to be sat in the stand, being under that scrutiny.  

 

"I don’t think that’s fair to the player, so if he wasn’t going to play today, which we agreed, which we mutually agreed that he needs a little bit more training time, then it’s best he’s not here.

 

"For any player that (the speculation) is not an easy thing to deal with. It’s not an easy thing to understand when you’re fielding, no doubt from his perspective, phone calls, text messages, players and people asking him because the media now is so strong and the media message goes far and wide and that scrutiny in part, that’s 10% of the reason why he wasn’t here today.

 

"I just want him to focus on himself and his training ready for next week.

 

"I think it’s difficult for me to ever give 100% clarity on any player. I’d never do that because it’s football and you never know what could happen. All I can say is that Alex is happy at Newcastle. He loves the players that he plays with, the staff and the team. 

 

"I’ve never had any issue with him, other than really enjoying seeing his talent and seeing him express himself. Certainly, I’m confident that he’s going to be here at the start of the season.”

 

On whether the desire to keep Isak was as strong right the way through the club: 

 

"Absolutely, yeah, absolutely. There is no one who feels any differently. From board to staff to players. We value his qualities, as a person, so it’s very strong.

 

“We have a few of those players who are irreplaceable because they’re so hard to find, to recruit and to develop. We recognise Alex’s talent and ability and we’re desperate to keep him.

 

"I have conversations with I’d say 100% of the players and their futures. I’m very, very communicative with them, so whether that’s at the end of the season, whether that’s during pre-season so yes, I’ve had discussions with him but that’s not abnormal.

 

"I respect a player’s career and how short it is. All the time I will be communicating my desires and wishes to them and what I see and try to help them.

 

"Alex has been really good, he’s trained really well so far this season so I know there will be lots of noise round it and I can’t really control that but from inside he’s been really good.”

 

On whether Isak will travel to Asia next week:

 

"Yeah, absolutely. He's part of our squad. At this moment in time, I expect him to come.

 

"We love him as a player and a person and want him to stay - and that is right through the club. He's an outstanding talent and a player we cherish."

Well the build and the zero balls checks out but that clearly has a backbone so can't be referred to as Isak.
