Hargreaves provides us with a very useful third option for right back though. With Gaz back next season, Wes having signed a new contract (although it shouldn't be forgotten he is primarily our 3rd choice centre back not our 2nd choice right back) and we do have 'young' Simpson.
I wouldn't be surprised if we signed another right back but it all depends on how good Simpson is. If we sign a new RB it means Simpson doesn't have a future at OT.

True, but Hargreaves is actually a pretty good RB and RB's a very hard to find these days, at least at a good price, whereas DM's there are loads.
If you transform Hargreaves into a RB, it will make sense to sign Veloso.
Problem with that is, since Neville will be the starter and Hargreaves would be number 2, Brown wwould definitely play CB, so Pique wouldn't have many chances to play..
