However, until the former regains fitness, (ditto Allen), and the latter 2 get up to speed I don't think it would make sense to let him go in this window.
I agree, think it was a good time to play Sunderland as well, but 4 points from those 2 games isn't the end of the world.
More gutted we didn't get something from Leicester which was probably our best performance of the season.
Saw a video the other day from years ago where a keeper came out of his area to clear and put the ball out for a corner rather than a throw because the opposition had Rory Delap.
I'm not sure why you think it's a bizarre move.
He was fantastic for us but I don't think he was going to get better than a bottom 3rd EPL club in this country.
