I wouldn't be forcing him out, but if he wanted to leave for whatever reason it's about the first time since he's been here that it wouldn't be a disaster. Konate looks ready to take over his role, while Gomez and Quansah are decent partners.There's no way I'd be selling Virgil atm. I see no reason to sell players whilst their value is high - we're not a feeder club and we're not desperately short of cash.
We're a top club, we should sell players only when they're no longer of use and we have a better option.
And we still have Nat Philips and Rhys Williams on the books
