Newcastle talking it up, but would be surprised if Burnley let him go to a fellow relegation rival at this stage of the season. Only way to sway it would probably be a massive transfer fee Burnley's way which would allow them to pick up someone quality before the window shuts.
As pointed out earlier, it would likely cock up plans to be released for AW's WCQ.

Some Burnley fans maybe feeling less Woodsman love, but I'd agrue without him they are much more likely to go down, than with him.
But if he goes to Magpies doubt it changes his AWs availability status one bit. Neither club will release him this season outside FIFA windows - not when they are both fighting desperately to avoid the drop.
Arguably Burnley's best player (Cornet) is away for nearly a month for the African Nations Cup; did they have to release him? (genuine question, I don't understand the international windows, but assume it's not for that long). Even if it's a FIFA window I know Watford has been accused of refusing to release their Senegal player so at least Burnley wasn't caught up in the same for Cornet (who has also had injury issues) who could of pulled the same card.
