Apart from BDB being a local lad to Newcastle. [and a lifelong Newcastle fan]
Why on earth would he leave ..........
Other than maybe double the money....... You answered your own question

Chance of a longer contract
What's not to like?
BDB is one of my candidates for player of the season. Not the biggest talent in the squad but I can't think of anyone who puts more effort in or has been so effective, in various areas of the pitch.
If GP phoned him up and asked him to fit his kitchen or lay a new driveway, I reckon he'd do it, and probably the same afternoon.
Like Darwin Nunez? !!
Steve Howie on Sky transfer show saying £7 mill for Dan Burn is good business for all. What a ****
£7M is the figure being touted on SSN. Now, I don't agree with some that seem to think that every player we sell now should attract a higher price than Ben White - we're not in that European Super Group that swaps players around amongst themselves for £80M - £100M+, certainly not yet anyway! - but £7M is just ridiculius.
Even the rather vapid token female on SSN's 'Transfer Talk' programme thought £7M was 'a bit cheap'. Steve (ex-Newcastle) Howey thinks Burn at £7M would be a good deal - a good deal?!!! For Newcastle it would be Christmas and the next five birthdays coming early!
Double it, and it might be a starting point for negotiations.
Howey must be hooked on opioids. I can't imagine the lizard letting him go for less than 15 mill and I reckon 20 mill is more likely.
That said 15million and a non relegation bonus for us if they stay up is about right.
Why are you outraged about the concept of ourr strongest 11 ?
also factor in the possible wage increase
Relegation
If your Dan Burn, you have to ask yourself
1: if I join Newcastle and keep them up, will I be upgraded on in the summer, probably yes -
He strikes me as a player who is not content sitting on the bench, and would at least like the opportunity to be in the first team at least a contender, which he is here -- sensible conclusion = stay
2: if I join Newcastle and they go down, do I want to be playing in the Championship and upgraded on, next season -- sensible conclusion = stay
Either way around, he knows it will be short term, it all depends on his desire to move back north and play for Newcastle the team he was a youth player at. also factor in the possible wage increase and signing on fee, probably last big transfer.
I can see him wanting to go, to be honest.
That said 15million and a non relegation bonus for us if they stay up is about right.
BDB is a player that has been 2 or 3 seasons in the making and is now at the level that GP knew he would get to and some of us, me included, couldn't see happening. The club should be adequately compensated for his development into the player he now is.
I agree that he will probably be playing less than half a season at Newcastle before he may be surplus to requirements or bench warming.
