Kolo Toure

[Exiled_red]

Keeping him would mean we are standing still in developing that part of the squad. We have Lovren, Sakho, Skrtel, Toure, Ilori, Wisdom and Gomez with at least one reinforcement in the summer. Eight players for two slots!

+ Wisdom is not going to be good enough, so should go.
+ We can survive with one elder statesmen at most, so one of Toure or Skrtel has to go.
+ A decision needs to be taken over Ilori. I think there is something there, but it looks like the manger doesn't fancy him so he is off too.

That leaves five, which is probably the right number for the next season bearing in mind we do not know whether Gomez will make a full recovery and both Sakho and Lovren are a bit injury prone. Good balance of ages too.

I think both Skrtel and Toure will leave in the summer as will at least one of Ilori and Widom, we have Matip coming in and I think we'll see Lucas moved into defence, meaning next year our CBs will be 2 from Sakho, Lovren, Matip, Lucas and Gomez.

gomez and ilori can cover the full back slots too.

I'd gone and forgotten about Ilori again

I'd cash in on Skrtel myself. I think he's the weakest link & even Kolo is ahead of him in the pecking order now.

Enrique's wet dream there.

Klopp on Touré: "I haven't spoken with Kolo about plans. But a big part of his future is with #LFC. One of most impressive people I've met."

[Liverpool]

Doing his badges isn't he. Back up player and coach on reduced wages makes sense for everyone

[EwarWoo]

We should keep Kolo and Moreno on the books regardless of performance for morale

[RedReet]

Kolo.

[BigChief]

We should keep Enrique too. Without him I wouldn't know what half of our players look like naked.

[EwarWoo]

Good point well made

I'd love to have a drink (non-alcoholic) with him and talk football.

I'm sure that's on his bucketlist too.
