Isn't this what happened with Berahino? Wanted to go. Sulked when he wasn't allowed. Didn't play much more until eventually sold at a cut price.
Guess it depends if VVD want's to be out of the game for another 4-5 months. (I think Berahnio put out a statement about not wanting to play for the chairman again.. so perhaps we can expect one from VVD about Les )
