I posted about this higher up the thread, but in a word, yes. It’s not a slight on him, his agent, Oxford United, anyone to acknowledge this. He’s not a kid. He doesn’t need to think about where going next is best for building his career - most of it is behind him and he has one final big payday to bag. What’s best for him will be maximising his income while he is in a position to do so.
Given his pedigree and the form he’s showing now, any mid level (and above) Championship club would be silly not to take a punt on him, on a free, in the summer. He’s arguably showing premier league quality at the moment. They’ll be able to offer far more than we can (or, realistically, should) offer. It’s the way of the world.
I’m just glad we’re getting to enjoy him while we can, and witnessing him propel a side that looked to be slipping into a nothing season into making something of it. Let’s just appreciate it for what it is, and wish him well in the summer with good grace.
