Think Sterling will be the only possible major out.
First team players nearly guaranteed to leave are Glen, Jose, Lucas, Lambert and Borini.

Yeah,thats all true that is
Well two are likely to be off. City need a new manager and aren't likely to make a good, intelligent appointment and Gerrard has form for makinh u turns regarding leaving.
Seems fairly plausible.
Seeing as that Gerrard has already signed a contract with LA Galaxy. The rest must be true Who did you hear it from Tobes or the Man U board?

I didnt think contracts were all that important to you guys. Didnt seem that way when Arsenal met Suarez' buy out.
So why would they mean anything to Liverpool players? Plus recent history shows signint for MLS clubs holds no weight at all. Lampard taught us that.
Henderson is reported to have refused a contract offer and Sterling already has. Coutinho is linked with City.
Its hardly unlikely. What exactly can you offer these players?
Hendo has reportedly reject the first contract offer, that'll be sorted in the summer. Coutinho has just signed a new contract, not going anywhere unless a massive offer. Sterling is a piss ant and the one most likely to be sold, big money or he'll not be going anywhere.
None have buyout clauses, so the club doesn't have to sell, and even then we've seen clubs ignore them (and not just us). What can we offer, how about first team football, which none would get with Citeh as they aren't world beaters yet, which is what Citeh need to win the league next season.
US contracts, the Lampard case is not worth bringing up due to the fact it was all a lie. Clearly the Citeh owners just made **** up about when he was supposed to be in the New York. Gerrard is going.
I'm still waiting to hear where you heard it from, The Papers? Specifically the Red tops, real reliable source those ones. Contract stalls and all of a sudden a player is leaving, Lose a couple of games and everyone is leaving, that about it?

Walcott is a very effective player.
His ability on the ball is underestimated.
He'd be a good signing for anyone if he could stay fit. That's why he can't 'replace' anyone.
But fit for a season and playing he scores 20.

I agree. But I cant see his fitness ever being that great.
Many pacey teenage footballers become injury prone when they reach their mid 20's. It happened to Owen, its happening to Sturridge, its happening to Walcott and its happening to Bale.
Saying that, Walcott's recent big injury was not down to that, it was down to a horrid tackle if I remember correctly. It was more similar to the injuries Lucas and Kelly had. Prior to that he had a lot of shorter spells out injured over the season, much like Owen did for us, but was scoring a lot of goals and was a top cpontributer for Arsenal and England.
Our policy for dealing with these situations is to give these types of players 2 post match recovery days and an adjusted training routine. Maybe we are the best club for Walcott and he could work out for us.
Coutinho would love it behind a trio of Sturridge, Sterling and Walcott (or Ibe and Markovic). They make the runs, he pings the passes, the opponents cry.

It was working until he went on England duty and Roy refused to stick to routine. Ever since it has been very difficult to get him back on track but it all started with the England camp being stupid.
Which facts? That he once scored 21 goals in a season? That's pretty impressive .. but unfortunately, at the age of 26, I would have expected him to have done it 2-3x by now in order for me to be impressed.
Walcott has the ability - but injuries and poor coaching let him down, and has reduced him to a player who's entire game is based on speed. Easily negated by the best defenders.
With these types of players, injuries can be avoided. These players need to be managed far better - if you look at Fowler, Owen and Torres, all 3 were worked into the ground. They have to be rotated.
'Average' wingers don't get 20 goals in any season. He's got a 1 in 4 strike rate in the PL he's a quality finisher.
Poor coaching? at Arsenal? LOL would that be the same Arsenal who took a certain winger and made him into the finest striker the PL has ever seen? I'm sure you'd be able to give him some proper tips though eh lad

You're absolutely right - because Wenger has turned Henry into one of the best players in the world, then it surely means Walcott will follow suit. Great logic
And you do realise that players can have 1 good season? The best players are the ones who can do it for at least 2-3 seasons.
