Seems legit. I think a 2 year extension for him and the captain eases the pain this summer and allows us to improve the squad this summer and plan for their replacements properly - realistically to replace both in one window is very difficult financially.

Hopefully we aren't about to hamstring ourselves for incomings by committing to too high salaries for him and VVD.

I posted a few months back that I thought one of the three would go to allow the club to afford to resign the other two.

I feel this is what happened with Mane and Salah a few years ago where by letting Mane go we were able to offer Mo the big extension he got.

I think letting Trent go frees up a decent amount of wages that we can use elsewhere and gives us more wriggle room.

No insider knowledge here - just my feeling on how’s it’s played out.

{Ed001's Note - Mane went because he threw a strop and demanded a move.}

What do you mean"letting"Trent go. don't think the club has had any say in his imminent departure.

Mane was goosed. Went from one of the best 5 players in the world to bang average in no time bar a little stint as the striker. Bayern found out quick enough and got rid. I always remember someone saying he looked like he was playing with boots 3 sizes too big towards the end it was bang on.

Hi Ed01 mate - I thought the strop was linked to Salah being preferred and him wanting similar wages?

Either way, my point was more that by Mane leaving it freed up funds for us to pay Salah more not that we let him go intentionally to re-sign Salah.

Just the way I saw it at the time anyway.

@Floriant - ok, fine semantics - not “letting him go” but him leaving. It does mean we have a reduced wage bill by not tying him to a new £150-£200k deal which can be spent on other players.

{Ed001's Note - he had been trying to get out for a while.}
