With the general assumption that the manager is off in the summer, and an overall feeling of satisfaction in the squad, are there any players or positions in particular that anybody would like filling or injected with quality?

Personally i feel mignolets resurgence has earned him a stay, remarkable when most people, including myself, wanted him out for good a few months ago. But he has proved me wrong and has been remarkably solid since new year.

Id say that right back and defensive mid are the positions of greatest concern. Gerrard and lucas, possibly allen looking for moves, at least one defensive mid is required, with rossiter and williams hopefully stepping up.

For right back, i see absolutely no purpose for us loaning manquillo, absolutely none at all. He is an academymlevel player, and bizarrly, we have an academy of our own. With enrique, johnson, and maybe manquillo all possibly leaving, full back is a priority. i'd personally go for janmaat or clyne, though clyne will likely be very expensive. Maybe even carvajal after the arrival of danilo at madrid, or coentrao for left back? Flanagan is also coming back and i have no idea what has happened to mclaughlin, would like to see him and wisdom given another chance.

Up front, a clear out is needed, but i would only maybe buy vietto and get luiz adriano on a free, and give sinclair, yesil and ibe chances up front.

Other than that, i really fail to see how our squad is inadequate. I would really like the name of the game this summer would be clearing out and promoting the excellent you we already have, what do you guys think?

Think I would agree with that.

For me, a clearing out of sorts of the 7 strikers we have on the books is a necessity. Instead of a new CF/striker though, I'd rather look at more general forward of the Sanchez/Pedro/Son/Bellarabi/Depay variety so they could play with or without Sturridge in the side.

Agreed we need a new holding mid if Lucas were to leave (which I hope he does not), although who that might be I have no idea. Personal preference might be Gonalons, but no idea if that's even remotely realistic.

And agreed on RB as well. Not sure what the deal is with Flanagan and his contract, but it seems we do need maybe someone there and, for me, Manquillo isn't it.

Overall maybe 3 in or so seems about right to me, the squad is overall pretty solid with more outs than ins for me.

Good post mate. The name of the game this summer is a clearout. Only a def mid if lucas leaves and a striker.

23 Apr 2015 05:43:52
Its going to be more about if we can sell some players that are not needed in the squad at all. i wish we can clear a few names and then if possible get in a good midfielder who can protect the center backs along with a goal keeper who is better than mignolet. i think we can do with sterling and sturridge and origi up front next season, supported by the wealth of youth we have at our disposal.
i don't see ourselves challenging for the league unless we acquire some major big names and even then it will take a couple of years.

Another striker for me.

When sturridge and the new striker are fit play 2 up top.

We have looked absolutely shocking upfront this season and playing a lone striker doesn't work in my eyes.

I think your general assumption (that BR is going) is wrong (for the record i think if we can get Klopp he should go but am more and more certain it will not happen). Re where we need new players. If we want to challange for the title we need new players in all the positions that Sterling and Couts do not occupy.

23 Apr 2015 09:09:23
getting rid is "THE" biggest challenge imo this summer? I think BR and this " transfer committee " need to held accountable? the system of buying for the future is great if you are strong NOW, if you are weak and getting to play regular the future prospects don't have to aim high to get to play for us? that is where it breaks down for me. Priority number 1 though is bringing BR and Sterling to book for the contract fiasco that's been played out in the media! For me they should both leave.

23 Apr 2015 09:20:17
I posted a few weeks ago saying right back would be my first priority, get some real quality in there and go back to a back 4.
A striker yeah I would agree, clear out and bring in the best we can to have studge, origi and X plus academy as back up. Maybe even bring in 2 strikers depending on if we plan on playing 1 or 2 upfront.
I'm not sure on a DM, depends if Lucas goes for me, I would rather use Lucas and Can in that position, interchanging to suit whatever opposition we are playing.
I'm not sure I would bring anybody else in, depends on who goes as well I suppose. If a really good goalkeeper becomes available I would look to replace Migs.
Not a whole lot wrong with the squad, it's the way they are being used mainly.

23 Apr 2015 12:44:42
i can understand the need for a clear out. however, can the committee and the manager be trusted to do it? cut away the 'dead wood' and replace them with sufficiently? i think if that is the route the club wants to take then a new manager is a priority as soon the season is over and any changes implemented to the structure of the club . there is obviously the availability of a manager, money and the players required to consider. we also know that chopping and changing a squad to excess generally reduces consistency. a lot of 'unanswerables' i think. a big summer it will be, regardless of what happens. personally, short term i think we'll only see progress if rodgers stays and adds a few quality players, perhaps long term the opposite will be true. again, who knows.

The commitee needs to be scrapped and a DOF put in first and foremost, who can then evaluate the squad along with the new manager and see what we need and don`t need. We will be in a mess in the summer regardless of a DOF and new/same manager tho.
