Hi eds,

I've seen you mention players that you would like the club to sign to replace aging players (for example, Rice as a successor to Henderson), and so I was just curious who would you have- internally or externally - to eventually replace Van Dijk and Alisson?

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - those two should have a few years left in them, so too soon to pick a replacement. Centre-backs and goalkeepers cover less ground in games so have longer careers.}

I don't understand why we would replace Hendo. he's playing a very strange role this season that basically creates space for Trwnt and Mo. When he came on on Tuesday we instantly looked better. While we may not get 50 x 90 mins out of him he's invaluable.

Cheers for the reply, ed.

Any chance Gomez and Konate are seen are long-term centre back pairing?

{Ed001's Note - I would like to think so, but that is saying Gomez is still here for that to happen. He needs to stay fit and hold down a regular place. Right now Gomez is 4th choice centre-back and the right back cover.}

Really hope we don’t let Gomez leave he’s a great player and was part of a formidable pairing with Virg the year we won title.
