Similarly if, say Bridge, was to go - we would need to have the replacement already sorted.
No need, no reason whatsoever to weaken the squad in January. If players are to be offloaded that should be in the summer.
Also, should Given go in January - it should be a loan with a clause we can call him back whenever we want to.
Rumour has it Bridge's agent and SWP's dad have pissed the club off so much that their dire on-field performances are just the icing on the cake. There is more reason than one for shifting folk out, though these 2 achieve at least 2 of them!
Zabaleta seems to be Kolarov's cover, then there's Lescott, then there's Cunningham......................
SWP would not be missed except for sentimental value. His departure would actually strengthen the squad these days!!
