Sargent has been training with the club's under 21 after refusing to take part in the FA Cup match.

His decision stemming from an $18 million bid from Toronto FC that they submitted to sign Sargent

So it's an interesting development.

But again, at least they didn't miss him for this game.

And it's interesting to make this move, especially so close to the World Cup.

We expect to see more production from Josh Sargent.

But, Case, when you saw this news, what was your immediate reaction?

Yeah, there's quiet quitting, and he seems to be quitting very loudly, at least after sending that message to his manager.

Shaq, before I let you get into it, let's listen to Philippe Clement.

So Ball is in his court quite clearly after what we just heard from Clément.

How distracting could this be to the locker room, Shaq?

Case, final thoughts on this?

Yeah, it's a very interesting tactic because it's not necessarily a positive look on the player, although you understand why he wants to make this move, ultimately, in Norwich City.

It's kind of a help me, help you kind of situation.

Yeah, exactly.

Let's take it to another American player, Ricardo Pepe.

In the bad, there's actually still some good for him, though, because despite him suffering that broken arm last week with PSV, Fulham is still showing interest in the striker.

Now, Pepe is expected to be sidelined for approximately two months after undergoing surgery for that same broken arm.

Fabrizio Romano saying Fulham and more Premier League clubs are also, quote, attentive.

Is this the kind of attention that someone like Ricardo Pepe deserves, Case, despite another injury to this unfortunate long list that we've seen from him?
