I'm ignoring that speculation, it doesn't mean much to me. I'm of the opinion we can look at many options right now.
From what I've gathered today;
Bobb stays, according to Gaughan. Learning for him, free squaddy for cups etc.
Same source says McAtee may stay on a similair basis (althought I'm a little skeptical)
...and Palmer more likely to leave, he needs the minutes is the clear message.
Elsewhere Laporte on his way although latest reports suggest as likely not to Saudi. Real, Arsenal, Villa seemingly interested.
Cancelo we wait on Barca's bid
Interest in Ortega. Can't see the replacement tho.
So... I assume THB is going to get a move. Philips aside - the one name not coming up is Gomez.
Brighton and us both linked with the Argentinian LB, although he's supposedly likely to stay for Copa Libertadores. Does that mean there is a question about Estupian? That could have been the Brighton thing all along?
