My feeling is that he will be sold. Ashton did say that we would make 2 major sales, Delap is 1 and Omari is likely to be 2. Think the issue with Brentford was that they wanted to pay in multiple installments whilst we wanted a larger fee up front. Unfortunately, I think it will happen - just hope it’s soon rather than right at the end of the window
We had similar with Gnonto on relegation year, there was so much turmoil going on with loan exit clauses he was told knuckle down. Personally I would always be tempted to have a word with the player, give them an agreement that if they want to leave come January then they will be sold if the valuation is met. They want to be in the shop window so put in the effort, if you are top by a few points they might feel they want to stay and if not, you get silly January fee's instead, not to mention the player has hopefully been a help if achieving a good league position
