Sarge situation is analogous to the Holt situation in 2012 which no one has mentioned.
Holt put in a transfer request a few days after being awarded Player of the Season as he wanted to follow Lambert to Villa. Went on that there Twitter saying how unhappy he was with the club. Ended up signing a new three year contract and fans soon got over their annoyance when he continued scoring goals.
