Don't think we're gonna let Ferreira leave, not this summer anyway. He's on last year of his contract and is already 34, even if we were to sell him, at most we can get is 1-2 million. Think the club will keep him and let him see out his contract. Besides, Ferreira can be a useful squad player when neeeded. Regarding the wages, think Ferreira is only like on 50-60k p/w or maybe even less than that! Get your point on letting other players go, thus clearing up wage bil for Maicon but seriously, even if he's still a useful player, 80k p/w is just too much for a 31 year old. We should be offering lower than that to him and use that difference instead oo a younger transfer purchase. Can't take any risk until we're 100% certain that Hutchinson recovers from his injury problems. IF we go with just Ivanovic, Hutchinson and Ferreira, then we'll be screwed IF injuries and suspensions kick in. Our defence last season was almost threadbare with Cahill and Luiz out injured and Terry having to play every 3-4 days with a rib injury.
