But you didn't really answer the question - is Howson worth 86K a week?

Because if he isn't then accepting £5m might not be that idiotic?

The matter of who we sell him to is a different matter entirely and yes, it might be preferable to sell him to a prem team but if there are no offers then what do you do? Players move between divisional rivals all the time.

And yes, I agree. If someone offers £10m it would be better to accept that than £5m.
