By the way, in the process of this whole thing, word has come out that GP might be willing to stay and be a Celtic. In my mind (and in hagrid's), that would be the best situation of all. So all of this is taken with a grain of salt. In other words, all these trades are based on "If Gary is still adamant about being traded..."
May the best trade win. Track the results here. Ballots close at noon on Friday.
