1700 sold so far apparently. I'm thinking about going as well to be honest, hadn't even considered it before.
Because Perry is too old now and Thomas is (whilst solid) a liability. He will give away far too many pens/free-kicks if he plays regularly, and if you watch when he challenges for the ball whether on the ground or in the air, he ALWAYS goes in with his elbow at neck height.
