Agreed. It appears he won't be part of our long term plans so cash in now while he's hot.

Does mean that the outside chance of promotion this year disappears but in my view we're a long way off being ready for the Prem. Use the money in the summer when we can focus on bringing new talent in rather than have most of the window focused on if/when he'll be leaving and for how much.
