Unsure if any of the kids leaving were offered new contracts.
But those two are the proof that we've moved up a level. When they joined they were both amongst those who's names would be first on the team sheet. They both now realise that the level has gone up and they will get limited playing time.
Jesus has never been first name on the teamsheet?
You're splitting hairs, I don't mean literally the first name on the teamsheet.
When they signed, they could both expect to be first team regulars, now they can't because the bar's been raised.
And they both know it, so they have the choice of moving on and being big fish in a smaller pond, or renewing their contracts and not playing regularly.
And I imagine that's the way it's going to be from now on, certainly while Pep's here.
