No room for sentiment nowadays, recognise those that have shone, but move out the deadwood and those that are no longer required and those that are just not going to make that step up to above average. We are now a top team and to keep up there you have to invest in youth and senior players, the youth in case one pops out of the ordinary and the players who can either improve under Pep or have a proven record and can give another 5% on top.
we have learnt to leave the January window alone as 99 % of players we need/want won’t be available under the Summer windows
