Loan versus sale. He needs to go and either prove himself in the PL with Leeds etc and become competition at RB, or go abroad and make himself worth a higher fee in a slower league.
Need him off the books for this year's squad, but not at a loss, either financially or of his potential.
To loan him out I think we'd have to give him another contract first, otherwise, by the time he comes back he's pretty much a free agent anyway. I'd love to keep him and see him get his chance but I don't think it will happen now. A sale with a buy back clause is probably about as much as I could expect.
