Jobi keeping his options open

Last Updated : 12-Apr-2007 by
Winger Jobi McAnuff has said he is happy to stay at Selhurst Park next season, but has hinted he may be keeping his options open.

McAnuff was the subject of a summer-long transfer tussle in the close-season, as Watford and Charlton both had interest in the pacy midfielder knocked back.

But although he doesn't go so far as to completely rule out a summer move, the 25-year-old says he expects to still be playing in a Palace shirt next season.

"I have heard nothing otherwise so, as far as I'm concerned, I will be here next season," he told the Streatham Guardian.

"There are still a lot of players here from the Dowie era. The manager Peter Taylor has his own ideas in terms of personnel and style of play because it does take time for a manager to impose their stamp on players.

"Summers are always interesting at this club and I'm sure this year's will be no different."
