So that’s a right back and left back.
And some midfielders.
Some wingers.
I’m guessing no cbs as that’s handles per se.
I can’t see LFC doing all that.
As for Andy he gave everything and ran hard on all games and I love that effort mentality he had.
My God, we have a rough few seasons.

This is a 3 season transition. We will therefore have to accept next season being rough like this one. Possibly the season after. Whoever is in charge of transfers will need to be very astute, as we can't have a team full of superstars so when we go in for players, some seem as mediocre, we need to be humble and remember the Greek Euro 2004 team who worked as a team.
We may buy unknown or players who we see playing elsewhere and not being 'at Liverpool level' but remembering when we bought Robbo nobody could have foresaw the lb he became for us.
These tough transition seasons (plural cos we need to keep it real) are when we as a club will need to back the team and the manager. Not Slot. I'm fully Slot out. But we need to be realistic about what is to come.

Regards the CBs, assuming Konate signs, then I think we are ok in that area for next season. I would keep Gomez in the squad. A utility like him can be helpful, and there won't be as much reliance on him to play as our 5th or 5th CB. That assumes he is ok with that, and I get the feeling that he would be.
If Konate doesn't sign, which would be my preference, then we should be back in the market for an experienced CB.
Someone who would be the most realistic to take over VVD as the leader of the backline.
That could be Leoni or Jacquet. But for next season, those two should have to prioritize their return to full fitness and match preparation as a first team player in the Premier League. They don't need the pressure to also show that they are capable of stepping into VVD's role.

Blind faith in Gomez and Konate as CBs for next season is folly.

What about Leoni and Jaquet? They seem like they may be given a go.

Keeping Gomez as a 5th choice is fine. He can play across the backline.
If we move him on, are we going to spend 10 of millions on a 4th or 5th choice CB?
