Ed's any idea on what's happening re Mane and Bobby contracts? Do you see them leaving on a free in 18 months time?
There has been so little talk, which i suppose is down to their patchy form.

{Ed002's Note - I really don't know but there is plenty of time.}

Personally, I'd move both of them on and sign two younger players. Time to start the rebuild slowly but surely.

Agreed IB.
Would like to see Bowen added, adeyimi added and potentially a ready made player (only if both mane and Bobby were moved on) .
We definitely need another good forward option regardless if they both stay.

I would move Bobby, Mane and Taki on. Sign Luis Diaz, Bowen and Adeyemi/ Neto to secure the forward line in the long term.

Indian, we’re not going to get much for them with them both being 30 and only having 12 months left on their respective contracts. Whoever comes in will be a significant downgrade.

{Ed025's Note - i reckon you would get £20m for mane VVVV, and 28p for bobby.. :)

Mane, Bobby, Taki and Div 'could' all need replacing. Looks like Diaz is the favoured option for the Mane role, who i see as the most likely to move on. Reckon he would rather be playing in his favoured right hand position, and is probably not going to get an offer than matches his expectations due to his form.
If we are going to keep up with City this season, i reckon we may need a player or two replaced with better options squad wise in Jan.
Lets see what FSG are made of- hopefully the toon will pay over the odd's for some of our unwanted players.

I don't like the idea of replacing them just because of what they've done for the club but accept it's part of football.

I would just be careful not to tear the team apart too much as I think we want to keep a good mix of senior players. If Bobby were happy to stay in the squad then I think he could become a good 'special teams' type player for us, playing a few positions.

Will be sad in a few years when more of these guys who took us to silverware start getting replacement but guess it'll happen sooner or later!

Does Firmino have much value? I don’t think we’d get more than 20m for him. I’d rather just keep him and let it run down we aren’t getting better for that price. Mane i’d say we could still get a good fee for. This summer will be the most important under Klopp. Could already be 2 years since the last title. Can’t have it becoming 3 then 4.

This team relying on Bobby for the press nobody does it better the man is a machine. I’d keep him he has earned his right to see out his career with us if he wants. Saying get rid of players what if the replacements fail or take time? For me the ox, Gomez, Thiago, possibly Philips and origi then replace where klopp thinks we need to.

{Ed025's Note - have you watched bobby over the past 3 seasons john?, he has been a liability and has contributed very little mate, nice guy but a terrible player im afraid..
