So you take the word of 1 lid off Twitter, but not the word of another?
Very interesting.

Heitinga was quality last season, there is no need to give up on him yet - unless his wages are truly (by our standards) astronomical, i.e. over £50k. But I still don't see where or how we will get a decent replacement. I would love Lescott but I'd have to respectfully disagree with bluefox on a) the likelihood of him returning and b) the desire he has to return. Besides, wages + transfer fees would be so out of our budget as to make Johnny H look dirt cheap.
He's on sixty grand a week.
We can't afford to have a player on a wage like that who is only good every other season.
Who do you replace him with?
