I've been in football long enough to understand that for a player the careers are short and they've got things that they want to achieve. He added: Alex is a mate so it's a tough situation, because you want them to be around and helping the team. I've got nothing but good feelings for Alex. No animosity."
"Obviously as a Newcastle fan we're very protective of our club and you want players to be there who want to play for Newcastle. I understand why our fans are frustrated, but I've been in the game long enough to understand what goes on, so I wish Alex all the best apart from when we play Liverpool."
Dan Burn confirmed Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool is complete and welcomed the clarity the closed transfer window provided. Burn said football careers are short and players pursue ambitions, explaining why moves happen. Burn called Isak a mate, expressed no animosity, and acknowledged it is tough losing a teammate. Burn recognised Newcastle fans' frustration after Isak missed pre-season and the start of the campaign. Burn wished Isak well personally but reserved rivalry feelings for matches against Liverpool.
