In a few places today that Rafa has said he can go in the summer.

Firstly - if Rafa hasn't agreed a new contract then i struggle to believe that he'll be telling key players they can leave.

Secondly - I could see this happening, he's allegedly wanted to go for a couple of seasons, allegedly. He's got a few years left on his contract which means we'd get a good price and if we were going to sell, now is a good time.

Ritchie is brilliant for his attitude and work ethic, as he gets older he may not be able to maintain the work ethic to the level he wants.

I don't massively want him to leave but if he is going to then this is probably the most opportune time for us and for him as it means he can aim for one last pay day.
