Who is he going to knock from their starting 11 to encourage either them to buy him or him to go there?

I was actually thinking the same. I think Elliot would thrive under Howe

Think he’ll be an upgrade over Willock. Newcastle’s first choice midfield is Tonali, Guimares and Joelinton. Any of the three getting ruled out with an injury means Elliot potentially sees a lot of minutes there. He’ll be further down the pecking order with us.
Not to mention the age difference. Elliot is 21. Joelinton is 28, Willock is 28 years as well. That’s one player that can be a huge part of that club for some years. And is a 2 time PL winner.
And can potentially play on the wings too if needed for an emergency. Elliot ticks a lot of buttons for Newcastle.

If we are selling Elliot to SandCastle we shouldn’t be paying (net) more than 80m for Isak.

You mean overall?
Isak and Elliott would have to be separate, unrelated deals. Not in the interests of either club to do a swap.

At this point , If we can keep Elliot in the team, There should be a way to give him enough minutes. But he’s probably the third choice #10 for us. Wirtz/Dom get in probably ahead of him. Macca fits everywhere in the team. Jones can play in both the deeper and advanced roles.
We’ve got options on the right wing as a backup for Salah. There’s a more definite pathway for Elliot to Newcastle. But we should be getting a good price out for him which hopefully in tandem with Nunez going out should be getting us Isak and a CB

I don’t see him as being a definite starter over any off those attacking players in a Newcastle team. Heading to Newcastle still puts him on the bench, albeit with a better chance of making it to the starting team. He had 6 starts and 22 Subs for us last season, that might switch around for him at Newcastle but he’s gonna have to improve for that to happen.

Newcastle got 80 appearances out of Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy combined last season.

If Harvey were to go to Newcastle he’d likely be competing with both for those appearances. Even if he bettered both of them I would think he’d still only be looking at maybe 40 as opposed to 28 with us. Someone would have to leave for him to get more opportunities there.
