Every player seems to have an excuse for leaving:
Lambert : Boyhood Club
Lallana : Wants to play CL
Shaw : Wants to have a threesome and it's easier up north
Lovren : Wants a pay rise now we've solved his Lyon nightmare
Morgan : Wants to stay visible to Deschamps
Say what you like about the board, these boys would have been angling for moves if Il Duce had still been here spending Kat's money. In the same way I believed Cortese's exit was short term pain for long term gain, we need to move on with a new group of players that are committed to a new plan.
