So...

lets just ask

Hummels, gundogan, bale

lets assume di maria is off to PSG

lets assume de gea stays... if we assume he goes loris would be bought anyway


De Gea
Valencia Hummels Jones Blind
Carrick
Gundogan Felliani
Mata Rooney Bale

Just as a 433 type set up.

Still not the complete article IMO.
Rubbish in the full backs and Jones is a liability in any defense.

I would assume:

DeGea
Jones Hummels Smalling Shaw
Blind
Gundargon Fellaini
Mata Rooney Bale
Weak in the full back areas and Smalling is a liability in any defense.
 
Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Liverpool have taken the surprising step of opening contract talks with second choice goalkeeper Brad Jones.

The Aussie shot-stopper was widely expected to leave Anfield when his current deal expires this summer. However, the Reds have now decided to make the 33-year-old an offer to stay put.

Jones has made 25 appearances since his £2.3million move from Middlesbrough five years ago – serving as the deputy to first Pepe Reina and then Simon Mignolet.

He was handed his chance back in December after Mignolet’s slump in form but a thigh injury suffered at Burnley on Boxing Day wrecked his hopes of a sustained run in the side.

Since regaining fitness, he hasn’t featured with Mignolet’s revival cementing his status as Liverpool’s No 1.

The Reds had planned to sign a keeper this summer to replace Jones and compete with the Belgium international but the fact that they have belatedly approached him over a new deal suggests there has been a change of heart.

“There have been discussions,” confirmed Rodgers.

“Obviously, Brad is in his last year but nothing has been resolved on that.”

Liverpool will not sell Raheem Steling in the summer

Sterling's current deal runs out in 2017 and he has already rejected a £100,000-a-week contract extension

I'd love to say I was surprised by this [HASHTAG]#expected[/HASHTAG]
 
0 chance we'd let his contract run down and lose him for pennies next year instead.
 
Some time you have to stand up to these ungrateful players. We're not going to be soft touch.<whistle>

But it's not like he's crucial to us atm?

i think 50% of fans would rather sell him than him sign a new contract...

So 99.9% would much rather sell this summer for 40/50m than lose him for 3m compensation the following yeae
 
Benteke is average - just a fast Andy Carroll.
Benteke is far from average. He's a quality striker who can score all sorts of different goals. He's a 1 in 2 PL striker, the only question mark over him for me, is his fitness record.

We won't get £40m-£50m for him

Depends how serious city are about rebuilding their team. Id take anything around £35m personally. Can invest that into a proper striker and go towards a new midfielder.

We will

Without question if we are strong aka arsenal and Suarez

He's a muppet but he's English

Do you seriously think Barkley.... Whilshire or even say I dunno any forward in the England d set up should be going for a fortune under the proposed rules

And don't say welbeck Utd let him go not arsenal swooping in to twist anyone's arm
