Sykes is one of the most confusing players I've seen in an Ox shirt..
Without doubt a skillful player with great feet, but not consistent enough for me and not enough end product. I know he'll argue he hasn't been given a run of games. If we sold him the risk is next year will be his breakthrough year, but if we can reinvest any transfer fee / his wages then I think it's a risk worth taking.
In other seasons I might be thinking that we should give him next season, but we really do need to raise the bar to turn us from a good division 1 side to a side that really should get promotion. A fee in line with the amount that has been mentioned on here, plus a sell on just in case is probably the way to go.
It just hasn't quite happened for him with us, so it might be in his interests to try somewhere else.
