Shipping out this summer Liverpool Football Club 2016 – 2017 Senior Squad

[kev776]

My tuppence worth:

to stay

Midge - as backup

Clyne
Lovren (New Captain)
Toure (if Sakho is sacked)


Lallana
Allen
Can
Couthino
Firmo

Sturridge
Origi
Ojo
Ings

From the rest I suspect many will leave or be sold if the right bids come in.

Henderson
Flanno
Milner

will stay unless silly money is offered.

[Nicey]

The thing to be careful of is next season we will have alot less games, this year we have had 63 I believe, next year that will be less than 50, probably around 45, we won't need as many players, so squad players who aren't getting much game time this year will be getting less next season. This may influence the decisions of players like Lucas and Allen - players we might like to keep but won't be regular starters.

All I care about is these important things that need to happen.

1. Mario Ballotelli must never put on a shirt again
2. Marty needs to go
3. Migs needs at the very least serious competition, hopefully a stint on the bench
4. Moreno needs to go

1. Little bit harsh, but I think he should never put on a LFC shirt again.
2. Agree.
3. Agree.
4. Agree(ish) at least benched.

[Fierce]

This thread is verging on hysteria.

It is, but it's basically people giving their opinions of whether they'd be arsed if X player was still here. I don't think any are seriously suggesting that of the 27+ players in our extended squad, 20 of them should absolutely be sold


Players I really like, thus, KEEP:

Can
Sakho
Clyne
Origi
Gomez
Ings

Players I genuinely don't want at the club:

Mignolet
Skrtel
Balotelli

Players who I'm really unsure of:

Sturridge - can he get back to his best?
Allen - as backup, if happy to be,
Coutinho - for someone so talented, he doesn't half make it difficult to move him into the KEEP column
Henderson - has looked brilliant, and bang average
Milner - my eyes say sell, his stats say keep
Toure - awesome and calamitous depending on the weather

The rest of them fall into my MEH category. Which as PTP alluded to, is pretty sad

[EwarWoo]

Hendo hasn't been fully fit for ages though, he deserves another chance IMO.

Has toure done anything calamitous when not paired with Skrtl?

[Fosterbloke]

Hey Fierce, what about keeping Ward?

[danperkins]

I'd like to see us getting another CB in aswell just incase Matip doesn't settle well or Lovren goes back to being Lovren. Gomez has had a huge injury and might take him awhile to get back to full tilt and of course he's only young too.

With Skrtel & Toure going and Sakho banned... surely we will look to get another CB in? Lucas can fill the CB void if he stays and being linked with players likes of Nordtveit who can play in various positions, might be what Klopp looks for.

But a GK, LB, CB, CM, DM are a must (especially if both Lucas & Allen go), CF too. Essentially all the core positions. Matip can play DM too and IMO looked decent there. Massive summer ahead and I really hope we sign some players with a bit of a hard edge, we need some cunts in our team. We are missing that nasty edge IMO.

I've said this before but in our current squad there is not one player who you would be truthfully gutted to see go. In every team and every era there has been at least one. Not any more.

that's what I was trying to say...I'm not saying every single player in our team is ****ing **** and should be sold or stoned to death....just that I'm not that arsed/worried about anyone going like every previous summer for the last like 10 years when we have had long ****ty drawn out transfer sagas

If say, PSG came in and offered £40m for coutinho I wouldn't be ****ing ****ing hell, **** the bed, etc etc...I'd prob just be a bit Meh.

I do agree the likes of can, origi and a few should not be sold but I couldn't see them going anyway.

[Exiled_red]

Alot of us have mentioned essentially 3 lists of players: 1) Players we really want to keep 2) players we really want to leave and 3) players who we aren't too bothered either way, (those who if a decent offer comes in for we'd be happy to sell), I think for most of us the first list is the shortest and the third list is the longest.

I think when it gets to preseason training and things have become more clear (i.e. the squad has started taking shape) I think Klopp needs to look at the players who are on the 3rd list and tell them that next season is their last chance, and that they have a year to prove that they are LFC players otherwise the following summer they are off.

[Slinky Skills]

There will be at least a minimum of six coming in and probably twice as many going out.

Will there ****.

[danperkins]

I don't think he's far wrong to be fair. Personally I think there will be more than 6. Matip and Grukic inbound already. I think we'll see a massive overhaul, lots of ins and outs..... good riddance it needs to be done. This soft mentality needs to be eradicated.

[PTP]

Again this isn't a reaction to Europa final, I've said all season in fact the last two seasons that we need

A GK, CB, prob two CMs, and a pacy attacker who gets in passed people

That's not changed at all for other than previously I've defended Moreno a bit and felt that in a better side he wouldn't look so bad...id now say we defo need a new left back and depending on what happens with sakho potentially another CB

No Europa league does benefit us next season, we can prob add say 4 or 5 quality players, really trim the squad and still have an impact

Bearing in mind that klopp likes the 4-2-3-1 it means that hopefully we don't need another striker however none of our midfield seems comfortable in the 2...I'd say you want something like

Starting XI

New GK

New LB
New CB (depending on sakho)
Lovren
Clyne

New Cm
Can

New pacy wide man
Firminho
Coutinho

Sturridge

Then competition/cover from

Mignolet

Moreno/smith keep one sell one
Matip (not seen enough to know if he's a starter yet)
Gomez
Flanagan

Grujic (again tho not seen enough to know where he is in terms of squad ability)
Allen/Henderson/Lucas/Milner anyone of these could do this role and the remainder could easily be moved on

Ojo
Lallana
Markovic

Origi

If ur like that's a straight second XI, a 22 man squad and then make up the remainder of the squad in no particular order

Ward
Potentially keep toure for another year, esp if sakho is suspended
Stewart
Brannigan
Ings

That's a 27 man squad...that should, all being well give us more than enough for next season, if we get the key signings right

It means that the following could all go

Bogdan
Skrtel
One of smith/Moreno
Allen/Lucas/Henderson/Milner - one to stay the rest to go
Ibe, maybe tho id consider a loan
Benteke

Then we have a load of people on loan, wisdom/ballotelli/Alberto/illori

We already have 2 confirmed signings, you would expect us to sign a few more

On the out side of things: Enrique, Toure, Ilori, Wisdom, Teixeira, Sinclair, Rossiter, Benteke, Balotelli and Alberto all seem fairly likely candidates to go, that's 10 and that's not being at all ruthless, most of those could go an you would barely notice (Toure being the exception). Then there are players such as Lucas and Allen who have been linked with moves for a while who could easily go, not to mention moving on Bodgan if we are signing a new keeper.
