Keep O'Shea, sell the other two.

Simples. This management lark is easy.

Still got the blues for you.. RIP The Loner. Hull
All 3 still have their uses, especially O'Shea. Brown deserves to end his career here, unless he wants to go.
Even I dont want Brown to go. But sadly I dont see a role for him here anymore. He's fallen way down on the pecking order. Rafael, Fabio, O'shea, Evans, Smalling and potentially Jones all stand before him. Thats a big ass order.

12 million for all three?

feck of Sunderland.

If N'Gog is worth 7 million then those three are worth 18 million atleast.

Phil Jones?
Given that we've lost both Hargreaves and Scholes you'd assume we'd want to bring in a few to keep the squad depth right, which is where O'Shea is invaluable. And I don't think Jones has played very often at full back.

Surely we'd be wanting all the Henderson money for those.

I'm wondering now if SAF has moved for Jones because of Liverpool's interest AND the interest from Sunderland in Brown and possibly O'Shea (although I still think it might be Evans).

For all 3?? They can feck off if thats the case. O'Shea's worth £8m, i'd say £8m for Gibbo and £2m for Brown.

They can have all three IMO as long as the money is decent.

If we sell O'Shea then we'd need to find a replacement. A versatile, solid defender who's willing to be a squad player won't be easy to find.

No chance for Mr Versitile (O'Shea) to leave. Good club for Wes, unsure as to leave Gibbo go or not. We are already down a midfielder with Scholes retired, so it hinges on that really.

O'Shea is easily worth the 12 million they are quoting, but not all 3 of them for that fee...Sunderland can feck off.

O'Shea £6M
Gibson £6M
Brown £3M

Actually I don't think many clubs would go higher than that.

That would be very stupid... 12m for O'Shea and Gibson, very very useful players.

We have Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson and Giggs. How many centre midfielders do we need?

Obviously I'm including the possibility of us signing another.

If an unproven 19 year old centre back is worth 16 million then surely we're ripping ourselves off here with letting 3 players who have won heaps of trophy's between them.

O'Shea is a fantastic defender, not a great attacker, but a very, very good defender. I wouldn't sell him for less than 13 million.
