Yes but we don't know who's leaving (if anybody is, which you'd have to assume given we would then have 6 CB's). SB might've told Macca and Bruce Jnr to find other clubs. SB wouldn't bother bringing him in if we didn't need him, would he?
Sorry, a 33-year-old defender who has been quite poor for two years now doesn't fill me with confidence, especially in our starting XI. He's the type of player QPR would sign. No thanks.
