Absolutely.

Versatile, always available for a pass, likely useful for helping Dutch lads settle, very resistant to being pressed on the pitch, wonderful injury record, game isn't reliant upon sprint speed so form shouldn't drop off a cliff.

Can understand the Club not wanting a squad with too many players in it that are 30+ in terms of planning ahead for the future (replacing the core of a squad becomes a problem, look at how much work Barca need) but Gini is a cracking player who can be used in a Milner-esque fashion further down the line. Those are invaluable.

Not the creator in midfield but extremely reliable, great engine keeps possession better than anyone else in our midfield, 98% pass success rate v Wolves, a performance topped off with a superb goal from outside the box. Could do with a few more goals a season than we’ve seen and does have his awol moments away from Anfield but I can’t see a problem with giving him 4 years. Millie has a maximum of one more season and we need to keep a balance of experience and youth in the squad.
He is a winner remember, won everything at club level, I’d keep him. Keita should be the first midfielder out of the door, maybe in part ex back to the Bundesliga where it’s less physical.

He captains the Dutch national team ffs - that alone should be enough qualification.

he was quality last night, better than world class hendo

will be a big loss

least injury prone midfielder along with Jones too

He WILL be a big loss. Ronnie Whelan use to get a lot of stick from the crowd in the 80s, but Souness always said they missed him when he wasn't playing. Let's hope they can come up with a deal that suits everyone.

Which Hendo is that?

Once Jurgen gets involved the deal is done (hopefully)

Schuurs

Unusually brief 19.

Gini is a beast when he is on his game. Very difficult to dispossess. really hope we can do the deal he wants.
Also agree with Schuurs. we are waafer thin in central defence. Who knows how Virgil or Joe will be when they get back. Some players never quite get back to what they were before. Let's hope for the best, but just saying.
