Someone like Sunderland will snap him up, pay him big wages and hope they get promoted again quickly. So he stays at the same levels as , gets more money and has the chance to step up to the Premier League (which he won't get with us). There again I'm probably wrong.

If I was a top end Championship manager I'd be looking at out of contract players like Manga, Whitts, Harris, Joe Ledley, Frazier Campbell, and Wayne Hennessey. All would involve no fees and clubs like Sunderland could afford them. I just hope none of ours go to Swansea!
