We don't exactly have to rush for a replacement either.

We have 2 out and out strikers in Sagbo and Jelavic, and 2 who can play just behind in Aluko and Ince.

Long's departure could actually be a good thing in that it will give the likes of Ince a chance.

Sagbo is suspended for the first two games. If we are going to sell Long we should at least wait until after the QPR game.
 
5 million pound profit in 6 months is just too good to turn down. Every player has a price and I'm sure the club don't want to sell him but they would be crazy to turn down that money, it would make no business sense. I'm sure Bruce has players in mind for every position just in case something like this happened.

As for a replacement, what about Ibisevic from Stuttgart? Scored against us at the weekend and scored a hatful for Bosnia during World Cup qualification. Wouldn't cost a huge amount I wouldn't have thought. Plus he missed a penalty so would fit right in with out team! <laugh>
 
Nah it'll be him responding to all the questions he's been getting about Long

Buckingham saying that Long isn't unsettled and isn't sure there's a deal/move in place. He's saying waiting for either club to comment.

Seems it's all twitter rumours.
