£10 m (quoted elsewhere as £6.5m) would indeed be a good bit of business and I don't dispute that it could be used to improve areas of the squad elsewhere (a creative midfielder and decent goalkeeper come to mind). And yet...

Surely, if we want to rebuild and push for play offs we need to retain the likes of Fellows, Heggem and Price? Moreover, if Heggem goes our back 4 become Furlong, Phillips, Campbell and Taylor and whilst Styles might be moved back to help out he is no natural LB with the only other cover being Bartley and-if he too is not gone-Frabotta. Not ideal. The moot point is then whether it is worth losing Heggem and weakening our back 4 in exchange for possible improvements elsewhere on the pitch.
