Don't care where Hogan goes, as long as he does go. Preferably late in the window, so he's not there to face us next Sunday, and any replacement is not ready to play.
So far, that's Palace linked (at least) with Schlupp (signed), Jenkinson (signed?), Evra, Van Arnholt and Davies. Just how MANY full backs are they intending to play!?
Given the tight ship that we are currently running, there is no way they are going to leak such sensitive information to a former player - particularly one at a club in our division. What were you THINKING?
One paper quoted £500k and another £2.5m
The truth is probably somewhere in between.
