Robbo not to be retained

The club are probably looking at Mo and Virgil and thinking no more old timers in the squad, get rid.

It's just as well that we've got lots of promising youngsters coming through the ranks who are ready to take the step up into the first team squad.

I'd be reluctant to change too much too quickly (selling Van Dijk and Salah in one Summer would be very disconcerting for example) and certainly am not in the "drive him to the Airport myself" camp but if (million dollar word) Mo isn't going to find anything resembling his best self I could see us better utilising £400,000 per week once the upcoming Summer window arrives.

A quality, pacey attacker in the £200k-per-week pay range age 22-26 and another player in a key area (attacker? centre-back?) would be pretty welcome right now and likely better use of that wage allowance.

Naturally we're all hoping something clicks for him and he can become a goal-contribution merchant but there is definitely better "bang for your buck" our there right now, much as we're naturally sentimental towards someone who has contributed in spectacular fashion to the club.

Yes but best not to be too complacent
