If true no way would we get rid of O'Shea. His versatility is invaluable selling him would require more than one player to replace him, not in terms of ability but what he actually offers us.

Btw didn't he sign a new contract 1 or 2 seasons ago supposedly on 80 according to tabloids?

Hope not. Don't want O'shea to go

I agree, i can't see O'Shea going, considering Neville has retired and is higher in the pecking order than Brown for the RB slot.

I think the departure of Gibson will have too mean a new CM coming in seeing as Scholes and Hargo have left

Come on? £12M for all three?

If Rodwell and Henderson are valued at £20M than Gibson has to be at least £8-10M? Some of his performances this season have actually been decent, especially Schalke at home this season.

Oshea's versatility and experience make him in this market a £8M player as well.

Wes Brown is still a decent defender, with experience and a few years on him, so should cost around £2M-3M as well

So £12M for all three is a joke really, we should be looking at £20M for all three, but personally I would not sell O'shea. Too valuable in his versatility, plus scored a winner in front the Kop.

£12m for all 3 is far too little. if henderson is worth £20m then surely gibbo is worth £12m on his own.

Personally, can't see us selling gibson as saf has kept faith and carried on playing in him for this long.
