Mornings Eds and fellow reds.
Ed1 (or ed2 if you don't mind answering), if you have time would you mind listing the players you think will leave?
I worry slightly by the idea of a clear out because making too many changes would be like starting from scratch.
One player I personally think could leave is Henderson because I don't think he has consistently shown what he can do since his injury.
Thanks in advance
RedNick.
{Ed002's Note - I would expect a number of the loan players to leave and not be replaced - Balotelli, Markovic and Alberto probably Yesil and maybe Wisdom. Toure will leave. Teixeira does not appear to have a future at the club. With Gomez fit in the summer a decision needs to be taken over the left back position - I could see Moreno going. Bogdan will leave. Ilori and Joe Allen may go as well. Unless there is a change in form Benteke could move on. Sturridge might be available but could easily be pricded out of a move by the club. Coutinho said he would leave if there was no CL but I suspect he regrets sharing that information and interest in him has waned. The management and coaching team then need to consider the younger players and who has a future at the club. The first team squad is massively bloated right now.

Agree with Ed002 about bloated first team squad.
I see Gomez as a centre back rather than a left back but he could stay as a left back for now.
Would hate to see Markovic, Tex and Ilori😇 leave though.
{Ed002's Note - The feeling many people have is that Gomez needs more time to get to the point of being able to play as a centre back regularly at this level.}

no chance of Henderson leaving red nick, sadly ron all 3 you mentioned will probably be leaving. I can see Gomez getting a season long loan somewhere, he at least has time on his side.

Thanks for the reply Ed2.
I keep forgetting about the loan players. When they're back we have something stupid like 40+ 1st team players on the books.
Cheers.
