We're not about to spend 20 million on a similar player so in that regard it's going to be hard to replace him directly. We just need to find another way to win. Great players leave teams all the time, the best teams find new ways to win. It will be a big challenge but we can do it with the right blends of players and commitment.

"I don't think he could be replaced, to be honest with you. His all-round work ethic was absolutely unbelievable. He must have run twice as much as most people on the pitch.
I think what we will miss more about young is his work rate. He never stopped running and showed alot of energy. We'll also miss the amount of free kicks he won for us in dangerous positions.
He wasn't a great player and we will replace him. Let's not forget that for the last season ans half he has been frustrating and mostly ineffective. He is not a Brian or a Sid type of proper great player.
