He may stay and if he does I would be delighted, but if he does go, Lucas Leiva would be a decent replacement, In my opinion.
Which is where we started and what you seemed to take offence to.
Fair enough, but if he is keeping his options open, surely we supporters should be allowed to debate other options also, without self imposed mods telling us what to think?
Lucas Leiva of Liverpool is out of contract in June and with Stephens almost certainly off, Leiva would be a perfect replacement to shield our back four if we are to persist with 442 in the Premier League.
Indeed. But the fact we scouted and bid for a South American player (even if he turned out to be a dud) may indicate that we may have others on our radar when we start to make our squad premier league ready. Does anyone have any tips for possible targets from Brazil or Argentia?
