Hi eds, which centre backs do you see leaving the club? I'm guessing only one of wisdom or ilori will get a shot and Coates will leave? Has toure been offered an extension? I can't see sakho leaving, but I guess lovren is either given the choice to stay and fight or offloaded for very much less than we paid no doubt. ?
{Ed002's Note - I imagine that Skrtel, Lovren and Sakho will stay and Kolo Touré will probably sign his new contract.
The others are all out on loan with I guess Lloyd Jones and Wisdom to be the ones who might have a chance of a future with the club. It is hard to say what will happen with Ilori, but I think it unlikely that Liverpool will be interested in having him back - unless there is a change of manager. Real Sociedad are keen to take Ilori on a permanent deal with Sunderland, Celtic and Hull also declaring an interest. The asking price quoted to Celtic was well beyond what Celtic valued the player at so you can probably write them off as an option. Coates has made a statement that he wants to stay in England and he will be returning to Liverpool in the summer - unless an English buyer can be found Liverpool would likely need to look to another loan or to releasing him from his contract. Paez is still in limbo in the Spanish second tier. Liverpool probably need to discuss the future with him this summer.}

I think Páez contract runs out this season. I think his loan team is Cordona??. I agree with ed.he is in limbo and likely to be released. I think Iloori is ahead of him?

I thought Coates' contract ran out this summer?
{Ed002's Note - No. You can welcome him home.}
