Newcastle United fans have called on the club to sell defenders Sven Botman and winger Anthony Gordon following the recent departure of striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool. The article discusses the emotional farewell messages posted by both Botman and Gordon to Isak, highlighting their close relationships and the bond formed during their time together at Newcastle.
Botman and Gordon both joined Newcastle United in quick succession, with Botman signing in July 2022, Isak a month later, and Gordon in January 2023. Over these seasons, the trio contributed significantly to Newcastle’s achievements, including qualifying twice for the Champions League, reaching two Wembley finals, and winning a trophy.
After Isak’s move to Liverpool, Gordon expressed his gratitude: “Regardless of the situation and what’s gone on, it’s been a pleasure to play with you. One of the best chemistries I’ve had on the pitch and more importantly a great person and teammate. I wish you nothing but the best brother.” Botman echoed these sentiments, calling Isak one of his rare best friendships and wishing him well for the next chapter.
Despite the emotional goodbyes and the success they shared, Newcastle supporters have reacted with frustration, urging the club to offload Botman and Gordon as well, in light of Isak’s departure. The fan unrest reflects concerns about the future squad composition and the club’s transfer strategies as they prepare for changes following the loss of a key player.
This situation underscores a transitional period for Newcastle United, where players who were once central figures in the team’s recent successes are now moving on, prompting reactions from both teammates and supporters alike.
