Regardless if he wants to go or not we can still wait until they meet our valuation.If we sell him for 1 to 1.5 million and then have to give Sheffield United some of that it would be a joke, he’s under a long contract. If he wants to go that’s fine but it has to be right for us
Preston are not a big club.
I actually think Preston would be a good fit for him. Would probably give him a chance to shine at the higher level as he would probably get more game time. All depends on his assessment of that, the manager etc and the right terms for him of course.If Preston are serious and show they really want him then they'll be back, but I hope they don't play silly buggers like Barnsley.

We've never done it with Marquis, and I doubt that we'll do it with Sims, whose prolific form helped us to get to where we are in the league.

I really don't mind him leaving and I don't mind him going to Preston, like it or not they are a solid Championship side and he'll play every week there, but the fact Darren Moore essentially lied in his post-match presser about it is really disappointing.There's just no need for it and will only serve to piss fans off and increase the doubters in future.Get him sold sooner rather than later so we can sort a proper replacement out in this window. Don't let it drag on and on.
No player should sign a lengthy contract if they are not prepared to see that contract out. When it comes to renewing contracts the player wants a long contract for security, it works both ways, two and a half years left on a contract means he goes nowhere until the club are satisfied with the fee and terms!
