Five Reasons Why Losing Seamus Might Not Be a Disaster

1. Steve Harper is a very able goalkeeper, who if he hit form could easily play for England.
2. Given is a magnificent shotstopper, but is not a great organiser. Whether Harper is remains to be seen, but with a weak defence like ours, it could be a blessing.
3. £12m. Twelve MILLION pounds. If we could use that £12m (unlikely, I know) to buy a pair of fullbacks and a midfielder, we could be laughing.
4. We will have more chance of hanging on to Tim Krul, who looks a good prospect.
5. Harper might save some penalties?

OK, so it was VERY difficult to find five good reasons.

But get used to it. Because he’s offski.
