Albion wants to turn young stars into £25m+ players.
In that respect, after serving a purpose and doing a great job, Burn was taking up a place of an up and coming starlet.
My eldest was upset at Dan Burn leaving the Albion, so I explained that Newcastle was his childhood club, a former season ticket holder etc.
"It's like me playing for Barcelona", I said, "then signing for..." but he was already rolling on the floor laughing by this point.
Almost certainly Bloom angling for more money. I reckon he will go (if the price is right).
Newcastle STH with his dad (a die-hard, apparently), former academy player and maybe the last chance for a big, big payday as heads into his 30s - maybe a four-year contract and on significantly more...
