That piece of news is breaking all over the shop now. Agent confirms potential departure on dutch radio station. That's a classic.
Expect an update on Pienaar's stupid strictlygentlemen.com site during january.

So, how much you figure we can get? £7m?

If we sell JH we will be desperately short of CBs. Two seniors plus Duffy with Distin coming to the end.

Go get Lescott

Half that I'd guess.

Yeah, i wouldn't be surprised if we only got 3-4m. His wage demands should contribute to lowering the asking price, unless PSG or someone way too rich come asking.

I agree that we should have cover at CB though. If we buy Forren as a replacement we'll make up both in manpower and fill the gap left by Distin, our left-footed CB. We know how Moyes loves his left-footed CB's.
Obviously, Forren will never happen. But who knows? I dread this more than the summer window now.

If we don't bring anyone in johnny won't be aloud to go anywhere whether he wants to or not.
Would moyes want to cover a long term jags injury with Duffy? No chance... No doubt he will become a very able CB but not ready this season for a CL push IMO.

Listening to moyes cryptic statements about January signings and how he keeps going on about last jan an Billy's sale allowing us to make moves, I imagine the general plan is if johnny can be moved on it will allow us too make moves again.

Lescott is a ready made replacement for distin. Forren would make a young deputy for lescott/distin. Duffy a young deputy for jags...

Will be interesting to see what happens tho...

How many games has Duffy played this season?

That's the amount of games we'll need that hypothetical fourth choice CB behind Jagielka, Distin and Duffy for if we sell Heitinga.

That's a terrible point though isn't it. Duffy hasn't played because Jagielka, Distin and Heitinga haven't yet been injured.

They were injured last season and we played Hibbert there instead of our fourth choice CB. There's little need to worry about the quality of a fourth choice CB because they're very rarely going to actually get on the pitch.
