Everyone is desperate to get rid of Heitinga, but how will that benefit us if we don't sign any replacements?

There is a cash saving, but our squad becomes weaker. Not sure if it is worth it.

just think of the money we save by not paying him that we could use in the summer tho!

I'll volunteer to sit on the bench for a few bucks.

They don't really play the same positions.

Neither do Heitinga and Mario mate; doesn't need to be like for like

Not if we're trying to cut our previously excessive wage bill.

I am delighted to see us step away from the reckless overspending of the Moyes era, like.

Remeber that time we bought a player once without having to sell anyone first? Lets never let that happen to our great club ever again.

I agree, it's childish on here people calling him all kinds. He (was) actually our best cover for Barry.

It's only 4:50, I don't know why everyone is so worked up.

Wish Heitinga would just **** right off, potentially pissing Everton about though sheer greed.

Erm everton offered him a contract for however many years, he has every right to see that contract out.

We don't need another midfielder...why not sign Danny Ings, blood him in for next season!

Benefits us by him not playing as he is awful. Especially as he have villa next who he practically handed victory singlehandedly last season.

Pienaar or Deulofeu at CM ?

Are you on copious amounts of narcotics mate ?

Pienaar played most of his games for Ajax there mate, Dortmund signed him as a replacement for Rosicky. He's played there before us as well. Depends on the system mate, take silva for example or mata you could play either anywhere in a midfield five - good and modern players adapt, I kind of take your point though - maturity - Barkley can anywhere. You can keep your Sergio scratcharses.

Maybe be a striker, who won't get a game but just in case.
