I wouldn't get rid, but I wouldn't be relying upon him to the extent we are. 11 goals, 1 in 3, is decent. But can we improve? It won't be cheap.

There must be others that are far more suited to Gerrard's style of play that wouldn't cost much more than £40m-£60m. Isn't that what Man City do; sell well and upgrade?
If you compare us to say West Ham, a team we want to catch and probably the most realistic competitor to do so, their main attacking three in Antonio, Bowen and Benrahma got 30 goals between them. They also had a few midfielders chipping in with 5 goals, whilst it was only Ramsey for us. Spurs as a team aren’t stuffed with talent, but in Son and Kane they have two world class forwards who got 40 goals between them.

Can't remember them ever selling anyone for big money since Abu Dhabi came in.
Abraham couldn't hack it in the Premier League.
