Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Liam Twomey and Sam Parkin to discuss what the Spaniard's exit might mean for the rest of the squad. Is Jorrel Hato the main benefiter at left back? How might Xabi Alonso get the best out of captain Reece James next season? Will it be with a back three? And might that be good news for Malo Gusto? The team also look into the many options at centre back, who they think should stay and go, and also who they might like to see arrive in the transfer window. Produced by Lucy Oliva and Xavi Bird Hosted on Acast.
