Alexander Isak has finally got the move he's agitated for all summer, with the striker completing a blockbuster deadline day transfer to Liverpool - and while Newcastle fans in the comments section of our sister site Chronicle Live are disappointed at the way the saga has ended, some say it's the best the club could've done when they were dealt a bad hand.

The transfer is worth £130million - Liverpool will pay £125m to Newcastle United, parting with an extra £5m in solidarity payments. He has signed a six-year contract with the Reds and could make his Liverpool debut against Burnley on September 14.

It's been a month since Liverpool first tested the waters with a £110m bid, after privately signalling that they would be open to a £120m deal.

The Magpies' refusal eventually led to Isak downing tools and publicly agitating for the move, with the striker saying that 'promises' had been broken.

Newcastle are getting £20m less than their original £150m valuation, but with the squad needing replacements, the decision was made to settle for a sale this summer rather than string the situation out even longer.

There's little love left to lose between the fans and Isak after the shadow he's cast over their summer. One fan says: "Not only has he cost us points on the table by REFUSING to play. He has also cost us the transfer money we wanted because of his actions and timing.

"I would have rejected that bid and held out for another one if they were that desperate. I hope we have put a 20% sell-on clause in that deal, as when Real Madrid come calling he will go scurrying off again at the drop of a hat. I know you were promised things by others but what about the loyalty to the fans that idolised you, all the players that played by your side, and the main reason, Eddie Howe!

"Who made you into the player you are today and probably the best striker in the world! No loyalty in football anymore, money talks! Newcastle are bigger than one player, this will only make us stronger!"

Another writes: "Handled dreadfully by Isak and his agent, who are no longer welcome in the Toon. Liverpool have questions to answer, as I think they made an illegal approach. The issue of refusing to play while under contract needs examining, it's not like he was being bullied, more the other way round. Glad he's gone now, was his heart ever here?"

A supporter says: "Yes, we've been kippered alright, by Isak and his agent and by Liverpool. We've been shown to be weak. We've been rolled over. Nobody's reducing asking prices for us; just the opposite. They're putting the price up!"

Another fan writes: "Well so much for the club not needing to sell him, and not going unless we receive £150million and we have a replacement in place. So he's gone for £125million."

One commenter adds: "Good riddance. He should be ashamed at the way he has conducted himself. I can understand if he wanted a move but there are ways and means of doing that."

Another reader says: "The only person to come out of this well is Howe. He has maintained his dignity and fielded tough press questions perfectly."
