Klopp expecting departures
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is expecting several departures from his squad following the arrivals of four players this transfer window.
The German says it is important players get the opportunity to play regularly, even if that means being loaned out.
He told Liverpoolfc.com: “In the end, it makes no sense to have 35 players in the squad because developing players means they have to feel needed; they need to see ‘in this or this situation, I can play in the team' and all that stuff.
“I am pretty sure a few things will happen, but exactly what time will show.
“When all the players are back the squad is big, so it is clear they all need opportunities to play.
“The ones who are very young, we don’t think about it; they are in absolutely the right place now and if they can play with us or the U23s, it is perfect.”
echo have a list but its fantasy land type stuff where a reporter is doing what jimmy wants.. namely sucking off michael edwards
GK: Allison Karius. Surplus = mingolet
RB: TAA clyne Gomez - surplus = conor randall? is he even still at club??
LB: Robertson, moreno. - surplus =moreno in last year?
CB: Lovren Matip
CB VVD Klavan. surplus = klavan really
No 6: Fabinho henderson, grujic. surplus = grujic.
CMS: kieta, ox, milner, windy, lallana, allan (forgotten man), chirivella
LF: mane, ojo
RF: salah shaqiri. woodburn? Surplus = markovic
St: Frimino, sturridge. solanke? brewster? Surplus = ings, origi
already on loan
bogdan
Kent
Wilson
Ejaria
Awoniyi (watch this guy lads, this is his year btw)
I count 34 before those out on loan
therefore if you take Klopp at face value about kids then Woodburn, brewster, maybe ojo and even solanke might stay.
The surplus list therefore looks like
Randall (really thought he was already gone but lfc website still lists him)
Klavan (leaves us short imo)
Grujic
Allan (prob loan again)
Chirivella
Markovic
Ings
origi
that would leave a squad of 25 players including some kids if we keep 2 seniors for every place.
I think ojo or solanke will also go on loan.
