David O´Leary has insisted the unsettled trio Lee Hendrie, Ulises de la Cruz and Mark Delaney will not be leaving during the January transfer window.Hendrie has been linked with a loan move to Portsmouth and is keen to play regular football, with the same applying to De la Cruz, who is concerned about his place in the Ecuador squad for the 2006 World Cup. Delaney has submitted a written transfer request after becoming frustrated at Villa´s reluctance to offer him a new contract and he has been linked with Blackburn and Middlesbrough.But O´Leary said: "No-one has phoned me up about Hendrie, Delaney or De la Cruz. We would knock them back because we are down to the bare bones."
