This is perhaps very naive of me 12:53 - Aug 13 with 519 views | Illinoisblue | But do players ever put in official transfer requests now? Or is it all conducted via agent leaks to the media etc? |  |

This is perhaps very naive of me on 12:57 - Aug 13 with 468 views | urbanpenguin | Yes, but I understand it impacts their personal finances and compensation of the existing contract, in some way. So they try not to. This is, I understand, what Isak is doing at Newcastle - trying to force a transfer while not putting in a request and lowering his personal remuneration. |  | |  |
This is perhaps very naive of me on 12:58 - Aug 13 with 465 views | tonybied | Doesn't really seem to be the case anymore. R5 were saying this about Isak last night when I popped to the shop. I think players and agents are just wise to the fact that the agent can do some groundwork, whilst the player makes a nuisance of themselves, and they'll likely get their move without having to forfeit any money, like they would if they asked for a transfer. |  | |  |

Perhaps contract terms will start to change.... these are essentially contractors offering a service for x number of years now.... if contract not completed then surely there must be a compensation/ penalty for early termination...... my broadband provider can help make it stick !! |  | |  |

No, they don't. As stated above, putting in a formal transfer request impacts on any monies that may be owed to them from the club as part of the transfer. |  | |  |

Think they used to lose their "loyalty bonus" whatever that was/is. Presume there's something in the T&Cs that if they don't specifically ask for a transfer, they're due a certain percentage of remaining contract or similar. |  |

This is perhaps very naive of me on 13:38 - Aug 13 with 193 views | Marshalls_Mullet | I was wondering this. As soon as they refuse to play (claim they cant play) they should forfeit any loyalty bonus. |  |

Yes. Hence Isak said he 'would like to consider his options'. Rather than, I would like a transfer. |  |
