<peacedove>WE need a stronger team for next season. Something have to give, it is going to be pains for
some players to be shown the door.
My first on the list of "OUT" is Moreno
It is going to be sad to see Lucas leaving, no sentiment if it is for the good of the club.
Missed feeling for Sturridge. Who can guarantee that he is going to play at least 70 per cent of the games
in 2017/2018.
We need to improve and players of qualities are needed in the champion league.

List of our first team:
GOALKEEPERS
1. LorisKarius
13 AlexManninger
22 SimonMignolet
34 AdamBogdan

DEFENDERS

2 NathanielClyne
6 DejanLovren
12 JoeGomez
17 RagnarKlavan
18 AlbertoMoreno
32 JoelMatip
56 ConnorRandall
66 TrentAlexanderArnold

MIDFIELDERS

5 GeorginioWijnaldum
7 JamesMilner
10 PhilippeCoutinho
14 JordanHenderson
16 MarkoGrujic
20 AdamLallana
21 LucasLeiva
23 EmreCan
35 KevinStewart
53 OvieEjaria
54 SheyiOjo

FORWARDS

11 RobertoFirmino
15 DanielSturridge
19 SadioMané
27 DivockOrigi
28 DannyIngs
58 BenWoodburn

Quick list -

Moreno
Sakho
Lucas
Lovren
Markovic

With the exception of Lucas and Lovren, the rest were hardly used so won't be missed (even though Sakho would be a great option at CB).

Lovren simply has to go - it will go under the radar but this tosser almost cost us AGAIN yesterday. Unreliable and still one of the worst defenders ever.

Keep Sturridge if we can afford to and he has to be content with being a back up or even 3rd choice.

This is knind of easy

1. who is out of contract?

Alex Manninger
Adam Bogdan
Lucas Leiva

2. Who is a complete pony?

Alberto Moreno
Connor Randall
Kevin Stewart

3. who's too young to worry about?
Ovie Ejaria
Sheyi Ojo

4. who's a total crock?
Daniel Sturridge
Danny Ings

5. who is a cock?
Mama Sahko.


There's 11 players who have when you look over the names... really... only 2 have had any impact on season. Lucas and sturrdige.

In fact its prob easier write a squad for who is important going frward

Gk: Mingolet and karius.
Rb; Clyne and Taa
LB:
RCB: Matip, Lovren
LCB...
No 6: ? henderson?
No 8: lallana wijnaldum, can, coutinho? milner?
LF:
St: Firmino, origi
RF: Mane

Its clear there is huge work to be done there long term LB, LCB, no 6, LF and St needed just to make a first 11 up
 
Anyone trying to sell Lovren hates the club

The biggest problem this season was an unsettled defence, so the plan is to sell our most experienced CB, presumably along with Sakho and Klavan

Just buy one great CB and Lovren becomes one of the best 3rd choice CBs in the league

In fairness taking on Matip with a known busted ankle wasn't great but the guy is good when he is fit. we need that ankle issue addressed.

we need to be ready if/when it reoccurs with a good reserve for him.

17 RagnarKlavan Go
18 AlbertoMoreno Go
32 JoelMatip Keep
56 ConnorRandall No idea
66 TrentAlexanderArnold Keep

MIDFIELDERS

5 GeorginioWijnaldum Keep

11 RobertoFirmino Keep
15 DanielSturridge Either
19 SadioMané Keep
27 DivockOrigi Keep (just about nearly put go as he's pretty pants but we'll need bodies and that's the only reason why I didn't)

58 BenWoodburn Keep
 
We should mention Emre Can here as well. Either he signs a new deal or he goes.

Unlike everton we don't need ultimatums to players.

Let's hope Can signs a new deal - kid is clearly talented and one of the few who dragged us over the line in the end. Really stood up to the challenge.

Lucas has a year left on his contract.
 
Think saint said it before but we need to add before we sell (unless we're reliant on sales to fund transfers).
