we do need to keep some kind of continuity, and perhaps DCL and Keane will end up staying on. The fact we've heard nothing one way or the other makes me think they are still negotiating - quite possibly short-term deals. Then it comes down to what other offers they have on the table, if any.

I've also heard suggestions that Mangala may return for another loan spell, nothing more than speculation really - I think he did well but seems unlikely that we would use up a squad place on someone who has suffered such a serious injury.

Guess things will become clearer over the coming weeks, hopefully there will be decisive action sooner rather than later.
