Ed01 pick your brains please do you trust the club and Klopp knows what they are doing here in terms of replacements if Fab Hendo and Thiago where to leave? It does seem a lot to go at once with others already gone. I would not be too confident starting a season minus these 3 without serious 2 replacements at least. Hendo would be leave a massive hole in the squad IMO.

{Ed001's Note - it is a bit sudden, but it needed doing. It should have been started last season. But yes I think this is a good thing, even if it might be a bit difficult at the start of the season.}

We put ourselves in this position we should have always been investing and keeping it fresh!
But out with the old guard and in with the new now!
It’s exciting times we could have possibly going into the season over half a team ready to compete for 8/ 10 years.

Agree it just shows the mistakes that Klopp and his team made deciding not to invest in previous years.

I am sure it isn't the simple case but it does feel like Jorg may of come in and been pretty honest with it all.

Depends on who and how many are brought in. We needed midfielders before anyone was sold.
Bit concerned we are losing experience and leadership. Don't see many in the squad that have that. Never been impressed when Virgil has been captain.

Like I say all rests on who comes in. Lavia and another isn't enough.

Klopp glasses there’s tons of leaders in the squad mate Alison-vvd Holland captain - Roberson Scotland captain - dom hungary captain- mac World Cup winner- gakpo was psv captain- Curtis did an amazing job at the euros - salah, Trent I can see becoming captain material, the future looks bright have no fear.

Providing that nobody else leaves after Fabinho and Henderson, how would another two midfielders not be enough? We’d have 9 at that point.

I think it will be Tchouameni/ Caicedo, Lavia and Colwill, with maybe even another centre back depending on outgoings.

That seems unthinkable but if you’d told me months ago that we’d be letting 5 midfielders go at once, in addition to the signings we’ve already made, i’d never have believed you.

Ed001 is right though, a brutal cull is the only way to correct that which should have been a gradual process. It isn’t the ideal way to do it but it does suggest that Klopp has learned his lesson.

I for one am excited for the new change and era. Should have been done ages ago but better late than never.

Ed001 if we do sell all 3 I know one thing it’s better than losing all 3 for nothing like it looked like.
If we only sold 2 for me I would keep Thiago even if he was injured a lot last season I thought the games he played he was better than the other 2. The Napoli away game was the best sample think he m played about 30 minutes and made more tackles than the rest of the midfield and fullbacks put together.

Agreed ed001 but with a full new midfield image the hunger and competition for a starting place it will/ should create.

If we do get rid of the three we potentially have

DCM - Baj, Trent
LCM. - Macca, Curtiis
RCM - Dom, Harvey

We need a top notch DM, and also both a DCM and ACM with potential (perhaps Lavia and Thuram) .

We still also need a top quality LCB.

Just my opinion but I really don't see us being interested in Lavia with the fee Southampton are looking for. He's had one season for a team that came bottom of the Premier League. We don't normally spend big amounts on players of that profile.
