00:00Obviously three big players might leave in terms of Salah, Trent, Virgil van Dijk.

00:07Who do you think is the most essential to keep?

00:10It's a difficult one because there's pros and cons for all three. First of all, you know,

00:15you want to keep all three, that's for sure. You'd probably say Trent because of his age,

00:22but then you say Mo because of his goals and you say Virg because, you know, anytime he plays the

00:27team played better and it's just a shame that, you know, they're getting a little bit older now

00:32and, you know, they're not going to be able to maintain this in three or four years time. So

00:36do you try and keep Trent where you can have him for six years or keep the others where you can

00:39have him maybe for another two? So it's a real difficult one. But right now, I think if you

00:44have to keep one, I'd probably say Mo. Just because, like I said earlier, the numbers,

00:49those sort of goals, they're hard to find. I know a world-class centre-half is also,

00:54but I think that's easier to replace than 20-odd, 30 goals, you know.
