    The PL won't allow that.

    But plenty of players get bought and instantly loaned back to the selling club. Happens all the time.

    Means they can also boost his wages in SA. We can part pay his wages, which again is quite typical with loan deals.

    They should get 5 Saudi PIF clubs fighting over him and create a bidding war to publicly elevate the price.

    One of them could hijack the longstaff to leeds deal if they wanted, 70 mil should do it.

    Then the papers would say: "Newcastle fail to sell Longstaff to Leeds".

    ....well, I say that, but with our track record we'd just end up bidding for Hojlund, Brennan Johnson and Konsa. And not getting any of them.

    Waste of time because the player won't want go, it'll annoy him finding out the club entertained it and even if he went we can't persuade good players to join anymore.

    Plus we'd have to get the players in before it's announced so we don't get players at Manchester United prices

    As a club you can't turn down that type of crazy money but I can't imagine Isak would be willing to go to Saudi in his prime years.

    No reason on Earth why an African ,born of parents in poverty that needed to emigrate to Sweden should ever want to earn enough money to set up schools, hospitals, water well's (£3 A MONTH)ETC

    The PL will never authorise it. Subject to their unlawful APT rules.

    Newcastle can't replace Isak it's as simple as that. The time in this window will slip away and come deadline day we'll be in for fun on here and twitter, because we're getting nothing even remotely exciting.

    The early days the players that signed thought they were joining the next big thing, but now players know we're just Newcastle.
