The sensible thing for him to do would be to stay with us. In turn we should play him at right back with Townsend at left back until Gibbs is fit, in other words round pegs in round holes. Why was Townsend dropped after he had played his best game for us against West Ham and then Ferguson switched to left back. O'Shea was brought in at right back and had an absolute mare. Isn't he a central defender? None of it makes sense to me I'm afraid.
