Can you give it a fucking rest. Otherwise you’ll be finding somewhere else to post this relentlessly negative twaddle.

I saw that earlier. My understanding (@Kopstar) is that essentially purposefully damaging Isak’s career by ‘putting him in the reserves to rot’ would mean Isak could justifiably terminate his contract with just cause under article 15 of the FIFA regulations

I don’t think even Newcastle are that mad.

It’s also throwing away 100m+ if they are really upset with our bid I’m surprised they aren’t trying to flog him around Europe.

We know they seem to struggle with PSR on a yearly basis.

Villa, who already have Watkins, potentially beating Newcastle to the signature of Jackson.

Have the Newcastle executive team been on holiday for the past two months? Maybe they’ve all been holed up at the Riyadh Ritz Carlton enjoying some “hospitality”

They’re probably hosting a BBQ for Hughes and Edwards at the Saudi consul general’s home in Istanbul.

Surely if it’s all about ‘saving face’ with these dickhead owners then just tell Isak to put in a transfer request? He doesn’t get any loyalty bonus, etc from them for leaving, nor does his agent and they get a big transfer fee - £130m.

They can spin it however they want then. Sold him on our terms, we wont be bullied, he lost out on millions, and so on.

Do Villa have anyone else or is Watkins their only forward? Just wondering if they are looking to sell watkins to Newcastle…?

How is that going to change anything?

If a written request goes in, it will be because the player will have been told by the club that he will be sold once it has been submitted. Not to make the owners change their minds.

Did you not read the rest of what I wrote?

Yes, I did, hence the question

This is going to be the Bellingham thread.

I think the point being made is that at this stage a transfer request is just admin as he’s made it clear he wants to leave already and it’ll make zero difference to the situation.

There’s zero chance they can come out of this situation with anyone thinking a sale was done on their terms.
