We have been getting plenty of questions in from you about the Alexander Isak situation, including about where Newcastle stand given the striker is not currently being selected and training away from the rest of the squad.
Eddie Howe would love to be able to call upon one of the best strikers in the world.
But Isak remains determined to join Liverpool and continues to train away from the rest of his Newcastle United team-mates.
Howe was asked whether the Swede would be fined after Isak sat out the goalless draw against Aston Villa on the opening day and the Newcastle head coach said that "other people are dealing with that issue".
So would Newcastle have grounds?
Dan Chapman, the partner and head of employment and sports teams at Leathes Prior, said: "The club would potentially be able to fine the player if they are able to point to a breach of his obligations under his contract or, more likely, a relevant code of conduct."
