Also, Traffords stock is high at the moment but after another season of defeats and lots more goals conceded that could change.If Howe offers anywhere near 35m he will be down the road.Another thing is hat is where he wants to be reading between the lines so good luck to the lad.He still has his weanesses despite the hype.Max Weiss will be a good replacement.We have got him at a bargain price.What is not to like?
Business models are the future unfortunately and if we’re making 20 million profit that’s how it has to be.

I still think that his value would have risen after a year with us regardless of conceded goals ( if he played well of course )
I think it’s like Sinkov says balance the books and keep developing players Weiss fits the mould and hopefully he can raise his stock over the next couple of years.

My real worry is if Esteve has to go as well then the spine of the side is removed in one fell swoop and god only knows where that leaves us in what is an ultra competitive league.
