"Goalkeeper we sort by leaving alone. Wayne is thirty-one. Steve Mandanda is thirty-three and Marseille have rung Steve twice this season trying to buy him back and they will ring again in May. Steve has said no to both. Steve will say no in May."
"They will keep ringing."
"They will keep ringing. He's their boy. We're not selling him. He came here last summer and signed a three-year deal and he meant it. Then there's Pope. Pope is twenty-five. Pope came in last August and the Holmesdale have not stopped singing his name since the penalty save at Bournemouth in October.
Three keepers, all good enough to start for half the league. The lad your supporters call a hero is on the bench more often than not because Wayne is Welsh number one and Steve is World Cup squad for France. We do not sign a fourth. We lose somebody in the dressing room if we do."
"So no signing if nothing happens."
