If we go up nothing's a problem, but if we don't it's a big contract to be saddled with for a long time, for a player that probably wouldn't be the easiest to get rid of.
I think he'd be a good signing, but don't think we should be breaking our transfer record and wage structure to get him in
Loan with or without obligation would be decent.
Do you think there's any chance of him becoming a regular for you again?
If not, seems like a permanent sale would suit better and not sure we'll sanction that now.
Probably just makes sense for everyone. Given our position it's very unlikely we'd have been able to offer him a chance in the first team. And £500k is a decent fee given his level of experience.
Brentford and Bournemouth are still objectively tiny clubs though. Would be interesting to see one of them get to Wembley these days - would they even sell out their allocation?
