It's been the summer of strikers striking. No picket lines, of course, but plenty of not available to be picked.
Yoane Wissa forced his will at Brentford, Viktor Gyokeres played hard ball at Sporting, but the shop steward of disruption was without doubt Alexander Isak.
To force his move from Newcastle to Liverpool he withdrew his labour for 14 weeks. Three months of training alone and not playing.
He turned red to become a red, and he hated every second of it because, in the end, no matter how big they are or how much they earn, all footballers really want to do is be out there.
They want to be out there on the pitch, out there on the training ground and out there with their teammates.

Of course, none of us actually saw Isak this summer but I can guaran
