What does Alexander Isak and Ramus Hojlund have? Looking through, this seems to be two lines not only in parallel but also in the opposite direction. But looking closer, you may be surprised!
“Tham Lam” is a verse from Villa Park's away stands, and there is no doubt about the object that Newcastle fans are targeting. Alexander Isak should know that will happen.
This is often seen when you are not on the trip before the season, instead practice with the old team, and then, when you return, you publicize that you no longer want to play for the host club.
A loyalty is a currency that is deprecating in football, which has been clear for decades, but Newcastle fans still have the right to feel disappointed by a player they used to love.
But if you want to find a case to protect yourself, Isak just look at the example of another Scandinavian striker seems to be on the way to leave the Premier League, but in a completely opposite situation.
Rasmus Hojlund, up to this point, is still resolute with the desire to stay in MU despite everything; Despite the fact that the host club is willing to listen to the offers for the Danish striker since the beginning of the summer; Despite strong attention from famous clubs like Milan and Inter; And despite the appearance of rookie worth 76.5 million euros Benjamin Sesko.
During the MU season in the US season, Hojlund kicked itself twice, scored 1 goal and even was praised by coach Ruben Amorim. At the same evening, the striker publicly claimed that he would not go anywhere, whatever happened.
However, that resolute now faces challenges, after Hojlund is eliminated from the MU squad in the opening match against Arsenal.
Hojlund is not part of the so -called “spraying team” of Amorim, along with Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia, who are almost completely separated from the rest during the summer.
MU's approach to these unwanted players is not an excellent example of how to exploit values from the market. Only Rashford has gone, and even so, it is just a loan.
A summer that Old Trafford's Board of Directors expected to improve their mediocre achievements in selling players did not create a fee from a semi -off, partly because no club hurriedly bought valuable players.
This is the purest refining this summer about the power of a club for its players. Their career at Old Trafford can be considered to have ended, although Amorim still says that these 4 people can be re -integrated if they still stay at the club after the summer transfer window.
In the end, when MU announced that those names would practice separately with the rest of the team, the purpose was to build a collective of the players “completely focused on MU”.
Hojlund may not agree with those words. He may be pushed ahead of the players they want to leave. But after that, MU had the right to transfer people who were considered redundant.
It is football. Not really the match, but the harsh industry surrounds it. The power is largely in the hands of the clubs rather than the players who must obey the boss's will, despite being compensated “worthy” for this inconvenience at the highest level.
And the clubs also affirm the mutual dominance, following a decreasing step. The higher you climb, the more favorable your position, but only a few chosen can master almost all the rest. This summer, and especially the story of Isak, is a harsh lesson for Newcastle about that point.
That is the rule of the old forest. But after that, Newcastle also used the same advantages for its own purpose when pursuing Younge Wissa, who missed Brentford's opening match because he was still uncertain about the future.
Not Liverpool – Isak's favorite destination – is also the top prey of this ecosystem, as the case of Trent Alexander -Arnold has proven. Except in the highest position, which is probably from the office window of Florentino Perez at Real Madrid, there is no solution at all, only trade -offs.
And so, while Newcastle and Brentford cannot be forced to sell people, there will be consequences of not doing so: keeping an unstable player, no promise of reconciliation and reintegration, and prospect of his record transfer value will drop over time.
Similarly, Hojlund cannot be forced to join another club, but he will be forced to deal with the consequences of that choice: Lack of time at the age he is still growing, nothing guaranteeing about returning to the main squad, and all his career opportunities will stand still until January or even the summer of the next year.
And when you look like that, in the situation of Newcastle, Brentford or Hojlund, in fact there are not many choices. In fact, so is Isak or Wissa.
No one would be surprised if all this ended with Isak leaving Newcastle, Wissa leaving Brentford and Hojlund left MU. But each object in the transfer market, whether rear, car, or good, must protect and maximize their own benefits as much as possible, because that is what the market requires.
