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?

To any of the eds please, seen a report saying that sterling may pay off one year of his contract, aparently 1. 7 million to give him more power over the club, I doubt this is true but could he actually do this, thanks eds

{Ed002's Note - Well Stevey you have stumbled over something called the Webster Ruling, I have explained it before but I am not sure where on the site it can be found. I should say it is really, really unlikely to happen, but as of mid December this year Sterling could indeed buy out the final year of his contract, effectively making himself a free agent at the end of next season. It would not allow him to talk with other clubs outside of the EPL in January though. This is why I have repeatedly stated that if he does not agree a new deal by the Summer I would expect the club to listen to offer - regardless of all of the nonsense spouted by Rodgers on the matter. But I would stress that the chances of Sterling taking such action are very slim at best. If his agent has even suggested this as an option, he needs better guidance. With the two other recent issuettes and the problems over the signing of the contract, I suspect that the club are getting pretty sick of him at this time. Typically clubs don't like this sort of thing happening and they certainly don't like it happening in the public domain - sadly Rodgers is happy to air all of the in house issues with anyone who will listen.}

Hi eds,
Just to go slightly off topic.
If Rodgers is constantly airing club issues to the public, then why hasn't anyone told him to button it?
Doesn't the club have a communications director or some other kind or senior management that tells rodgers what to say and not say during these interviews? And if he's choosing not to listen to them, then surely he's getting constantly reprimanded?
Also, I know there have been a lot of comments about Rodgers possibly not being here after the season ends if we don't don't win FA cup or finish 4th, and whilst I wouldn't expect ex players to talk about that either, I don't read about it from local journalists or anywhere else.
Personally I wouldn't be to bothered if Rodgers wasn't lfc manager next year, and think we should move heaven and earth to get klopp.
