I wanted to rip up Barcelona contract after just two months… but I’d never go on strike like Alexander Isak


The winner of the World Cup, Emmanuel Petit, knows exactly the situation in which Alexander Isak was in this window.

But there is no chance that Petit would have done with things, as Isak did, and insisted that he comes from a “different generation”.

How did Isak get to Liverpool

According to a recorded transfer saga, Isak is ready to join the defense of the Premier League Champions Liverpool for £ 125 million, although Newcastle is to receive 130 million pounds, the difference on the player’s side.

After a summer, in which the Swede lowered tools and publicly explained his wish, after a season in which he to hit home 23 league chapes for Newcastle, to search home.

Liverpool tested the water with a bid of £ 110 million, but it was quickly rejected and the noise of Angeld was that they would not return to the negotiating table, unless they received an encouragement form.

But Isak got his wish on the last day of the window.

However, Petit was not a fan of the chain of events in public and questioned the validity of contracts in modern football.

“A contract doesn’t mean anything anymore,” said Petit in the Talksport breakfast.

“You can do everything you want with paper. It doesn’t matter.

“It’s just business, it’s just money. Who interests that?”

Petit added: “People now know that it doesn’t matter whether they sign a seven -year contract, it can be toilet paper in the next few weeks.”

Part of Petit’s point of criticism about how Isak made the scenario was that the Frenchman himself had a similar situation during his game days.

After three seasons with Arsenal, in which he won the Premier League and the FA Cup, Petit Bid said goodbye and came to Barcelona in summer 2000.

However, it did not take long for Petit to realize that the move would not meet its expectations.

Instead of spitting out his dummy, the World Cup winner understood the value of a contract and simply started with the job.

When Petit refused to step on strike in Barcelona

“I’m from another generation,” said Petit.

“I signed a four -year contract with Barcelona (in 2000). After a few months I knew that I made a mistake.

“But I didn’t go on the strike. I only had a nice and honest discussion with the club. It has to be a win-win situation.

“We agreed and everyone shook our hands.”

How did Newcastle fill the emptiness left by Isak?

Although Isak’s departure was due to the last day of the summer window, Newcastle ensured that she apparently prepared for the apparently apparently prepared since he had gone to the stock exchange with his inadequate posture.

Last Thursday, the Magpies sat down by Stuttgart from Stuttgart for a club record of 69 million pounds to sign the German striker Nick Woltemade.

It was an impressive business from Newcastle because the German giant Bavaria Munich used to reject three bids for Wolemade in the window.

The team of Eddie Howe has also agreed with Brentford a fee of 55 million GBP to sign Yoane Wissa, which, like Isak and Isak, had effectively on the strike and had given a public explanation to force this summer by moving.
