Yep....Tony Cottee, Frank MacAvennie, Trevor Brooking, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard blah blah blah. They come, they go. WHU will never be any more than a mid table prem side with the occasional trip to the top 7 and the occasional trip to the bottom.
Of course it would be horrible to see him go and i'm sure if he has put in a transfer request, WHU will hold out for a bit more cash as he's still under contract.
But even with £35m, that should get a decent replacement.
