The ones we shouldn't persist with

[Gerry_A_Trick]

I don't mind keeping him as back up either. However we've effectively got Lucas, Allen and Can who can all be considered back up in that midfield department as of right now. Can obviously has youth on his side, so he deserves some time to show us if he can control a game.

We've also got our 2 captains who are pretty much guaranteed to start. So if we go and sign an improvement on Lucas, for me it's either him or Allen gone. I'd personally prefer it to be Lucas, he's had his shot. He's had some very good games along the way, as well as some awful ones. But he's never been able to do it consistently for more than half a season at most, whether that's down to talent or through his injuries, I don't know. I just know it's time to move on.

Allen is worth a few million, Lucas is worth almost nothing and I think on relatively small wages. I'd sell the one that could make us a few quid. But I wouldn't be too disappointed to see them both moved on.

We'd get nothing for him because he's usually muck, giving away free kicks up and down the field. Allen is not that much better to be fair, but at least when the team is on song, he can be a very tidy player. We're just not at that point enough for him to be consistent. However, I'd like to plan for us improving, and therefore I think he could play a role. But really I don't feel like either of them should or deserve to be here long term. So really in conclusion, you could be right [emoji6]

I think the players aren't the problem-- it's those who brought them and can't use them who are to blame. So' I'd get rid of that lot at the top first. Oh, and they can take Lovren with them.
