Andy as I said, Raheem has been a great servant to the club. He can leave with his head held high for all he has achieved. But the past is the past and I feel now is the time to refresh the squad and cash in on players who may be regressing somewhat now.
Raheem is playing less and less now and it is probably the best time both for him and the club to find a new challenge. The club will save 300k in wages per week and receive a 50m transfer. If one of the top Spanish clubs come calling, then it will be a good move for both parties.
