They discuss the need to continually refresh especially when you’ve won, the players that are more likely to leave this summer, those who there may be questions about, if there could be some surprising departures, improvements needed in the attack, who their ideal signings would be and they touch on the story of Gabriel’s jersey becoming the highest selling at the club since the UCL final.
