Player Valuation: £35m
I've been under the assumption that we'd sell Branthwaite this summer the whole time.
If we are going to sell him in the next 12 months, now is probably the time to do it. Nobody knows how the next 12 months would play out - he could get injured, he could hit bad form, etc etc
We absolutely shouldn't be selling him in the "PSR window" after the season finishes (if we need a sale for PSR) because that's the one where clubs know you need to sell and they have your kecks down
I'm ok with it as long as we get the figure we want and we make smart recruitment decisions with the proceeds - there are a number of areas we need to strengthen and if selling Branthwaite allows us to do that (and crucially we don't do an Everton and waste the cash) then it's part of life and we move on with things.
