Looking at the squad at the moment, I think we probably need 4 new players in below areas for the first team. That will make current first team players like Morneo, Hendo, Lallana as 2nd team players.​

1st team

GK
Clyne Matip Sakho LB
Can CM
RW Firmino Coutinho
Sturridge

2nd team

Mignolet
Flanno Lovren Gomez Moreno
Allen Grujic Hendo
Lallana
Ings Origi​

GK - Germany has some quality young keepers.

LB - Not too sure who we'd go for here.

CM - Gundogan would be ideal, he carries the ball forward and is creative from deep

RW - although Lallana isn't brilliant, I don't think this is a pressing issue. I think I'd even argue a quality DM is more important. Our priorities have changed and our main concern is leaking goals. (Edit - Markovic deserves a shot here, choosing between him, Milner, Ibe and Lallana gives good squad depth to adapt tactics).

Players to leave:
Bogdan
Enrique
Toure
Skrtel - liability
Henderson (potentially) - 100k a week for bang average
Benteke - anything above £25m
Balotelli - not worth wages/hassle

I'd keep Lallana, Milner, Markovic, Moreno and Allen for continuity and because I doubt we'd get much for them to warrant selling.

Definitely keep an eye on Origi, Ings and Gomez.
 
Benteke: "When your coach says he wanted to take you to Dortmund & a little later you sit at the same club and he ignores you, it is hard."
 
Benteke: "I do not understand why people say I don't fit. I can play pressing & moving a lot. It's not that we play in the Barcelona style."
 
Benteke has been a gonner for weeks now, his little outburst is all good for us in making it more justified in getting rid, ive nothing against him i tried to back him up til the point when you couldnt deny it wasnt going to work for him here.

anything near 20m we should take the loss and free up his big wages

His outburst tells us that (a) he's accepted he's a goner and/or (b) he's been told to find a new club

Would you pay 20m for Benteke? probably not so what makes you think some other mug is going to pay 20m for benteke before taking account his Wages! :D

20 mil is nothing.

even west ham and newkie have 20mil

Yes but you've already ripped off west ham once with sick note carroll. What makes you think they will fall for it again when they got themselves a bargain in payet for 15m.

Newkie are run under ashley, he's not wasting 20m on him.

Best hope is some dumb chinese club (they did buy ramires for 26m) but they've been buying brazillian players. Maybe Everton will sell lukaku cause he wants to leave and they want to replace one big belgian for another

cos they are spivs.

trust me theres always a sucker

Theres guys looking at balotelli like us thinking hey.. ac were burned, city were burned but we are different

Benetek saved villa for YEARS. he's right down west hams street. I think half the prem will be in for benteke... the REAL issue is they all smell blood.

Look at robbie keane. 19mil spurs for and still took him back for 12. he was almost gone and they gaive us money back...

trust me LFC can get 20 mil tomorrow for him. We can hold firm and get 25.

stoke FFS could spend 20mil on him.

...

I do agree on china. they have bought any ****e player from brazil they can lay hands on. this is basic lack of football brains but knowing brazil were once best in world and believing the hype.

hey... PSG gave you mad moeny for luiz.... theres always a sucker.

Haha i know i'm just fishing here. You should easily get 20m with all the money in the game nowadays. Theres always some sucker wanting to buy your rejects off you even though they have had a mare and ripped off many a club

Case in point
Carroll - 15m for a striker who was injured for 2 and a half seasons and having done f all and had 1 half season in prem league
Aspas - Done f all. Guess he must have had a good rep in spain
Borini - Spent 3 seasons on the bench or doing **** for liverpool with a "purple" patch at sunderland which mean scoring a load of pens.
Sterling - Wasn't even great done amazing to get 40 mil
Torres - Anyone watching pool could see he was never the same after rafa ran him into the ground
Lambert - pretty much got your money back on a striker who was 1 year older and closer to retiring after having a bad season for you
Coates - How you even got money for this clown
Assaidi - Made money on a guy who never played for you!
Shelvey - Hadn't played at all and still got bought for 6m!

Unbelievable the prices paid for some to of these.
 
no no.. 19mil for a complete basket case.. don't forget.

Aspas.. we were the suckers. somehow we managed to recoup half

borini the prick cost us a 1mil profit. so yeah sunderland = suckers

sterling. 0.5mil player. city desperate for english players... quids in.

torres. injured for two years on and off. 50mill....

Lambert.. what were we even at!!!!

Coates... win some lose some but sunderland we mad. he was on loan and they still bought him.

shelvey craziness is swansea got 12 for a guy who basically sulked.
