As a club we should publicly voice an interest in keeping ESR. The way to lower value is to openly demonstrate to the market that players are unwanted. This is what happened when we quickly changed the squad from an 8th place team to top 2 challenger. The market knew we wanted to get rid of players quickly, so they responded with low prices.
On ESR, Nelson and Nketiah - it is definitely time for them to move on, for their own good as well. We have had two consecutive title challenges where the first two contributed nothing, and the last was a clear downgrade when he played. The clubs interested also signal the levels of these players. They are not being pursued by Chelsea, Villa, Newcastle and United, big clubs with money, which should signal that these players are not going to be the difference makers for a team chasing 90 points.
