Yeah, think he should put in a transfer request now. Wouldn't begrudge him in the slightest.
In fact, I think they should all go, and Pardew and his team as well, should never have come to us as we're totally s***.
In fact, I think we should get rid of the club, total embarrassment to the city, wouldn't begrudge the demolition men in the slightest (though to be honest we're probably not good enough for them, they probably think we're small fry with our lop sided mess).
In fact, f*** Newcastle full stop. If we can't persuade a left back to stay in the city rather than go to traditional giants like Liverpool waving wedge in his face and an unarguably greater chance of National recognition whether they're in Europe or not, we should just give up, burn it to the ground, and move to Wearside.
