The Truth: How Do You Replace These Outgoing Club Legends?

It's time for The Truth! Sam and Dougie are back in the studio to take a look at a number of big stars and stalwarts who are departing their clubs this summer after long and/or storied periods of service, and how these clubs set about replacing them - either like for like, or in a different area of the pitch.  We take a look at the imminent (either confirmed or highly speculated) departures of Mohamed Salah from Liverpool, Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid, Casemiro from Manchester United, Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, and Robert Lewandowski from Barcelona; and set about trying to find ways for each club to go about the rebuilding process - either upon the departure of a genuine club legend, or someone who has made an immeasurable impact in a shorter space of time.  So, do you need to find the perfect replacement to fill the massive boots left behind? Or is it a case of strengthening around the rest of the team to find the answer in the aggregate? As ever, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...
