He's only about 3 years younger than Trent and I think Trent probably can play another 400+ games for the club, assuming he does not have a serious injury.
I like Neco but he has to leave to play regular football. At Liverpool he's waiting for Trent to break down while starting 10-15 games against weaker teams. He's also got the World Cup this season. Wales will probably pick him even if he's sitting on our bench but that will probably encourage him to leave.
He should probably ask to leave and I hope he can have a good career at Fulham or similar team at the bottom end of the Prem.
Maybe a buy back option could be considered but I don't think we have ever done that with the young players that leave.
