We need another option up top. 

Werner makes the most sense as he can play wide and through the middle. 

 

Sancho looks brilliant and I'd love him here but only plays wide right and unless we lost Salah can see us buying him.

I don’t want anyone replaced. Why would anybody want that? That said, I don’t think it’s the best idea for us to stand still in the summer. It’s hard to forget the AFCON which is why I think (hope?) we’ll be in for someone else to play up front. 
 

If Minamino comes good, we keep hold of Origi and then sign a Werner type player then we’ll be absolutely stacked up top and able to cope easily with injuries and the AFCON.

Another article in the Echo saying 3 players from the youth team will save Liverpool a fortune. 

 

Neco Williams will "replace" Clyne and be back up to Trent. Also Gomez can concentrate on being a centre back. 

 

Curtis Jones to replace Lallana as you have said.

 

Hoever to be 4th choice centre back. So Lovren might not be replaced with a new signing.

 

I dont mind to be honest as Hoever looks good and captains the national team at his age level. 

 

 

Is Hoever older than Van d Berg? Physically, seems slighter of the two from what I've seen of them (which isn't much). I think in the main, those three decisions make sense long term, but are they ready for next season? Jones I'm prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to based on what I've seen. Williams & Hoever might be a tad ambitious?

If we sign Werner then Origi gone. He's not getting much playing time as is.

I assume that’s the plan, Big Div will probably cover Werner’s fee if things about the release are real.

 

Massive upgrade for not a massive outlay. #moNeYBAlleZ.

Origi is getting to that age where he needs to be playing regularly or being the main man at a team lower down the league. Wolves are apparently interested in him so I think he will go somewhere.

Wasn't that the point of the Wolfsburg loan?  I assumed that was him giving it a try.  And the new LFC contract was realization that it's better to be a role player here.

Think so but he just came back. Think Klopp wasnt keen on him but he came back and he just used him as a squad player who ended up scoring a few goals.

 

The new contracts was just to stop him leaving g on a free.

[Bjornebye]

Origi is all part of the masterplan. 

[Captain Turdseye]

If Divock goes, I’m going. 

[dockers_strike]

Hmmmm, if the reports we're prepared to let Harry Wilson go in the summer prove to be correct, I think that will be disappointing.

[aws]

My bet would be Lallana , Wilson, Shaq, Grujic, Lovren go. Gini gets a new contract. Jones, Williams, Ellis and Hoever step up as full squad members. Origi stays. We buy LB cover and a top class forward. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Clyne, Lallana, Lovren, Wilson, Grujic, Shaqiri. = 80m+ in the current market.

Get a lb,cb, forward. Maybe another cm.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I thought Klopp rates Grujic? 

 

Minamino seems to have taken Shaqiri's role, Grujic could rotate in midfield in the absence of Lallana, so the talk of LB cover and maybe a forward seems about right.

 

I can't shake the feeling that we might see Salah go for some reason though. When he arrived there was some chatter that his dream was Madrid, which was sensibly quashed by his agent, but I wonder if winning the league here - having already won the CL - would be seen as his time for a new challenge.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

If Real sign Mbappe they won’t have enough for Salah.

Grujic is not good enough, he's not exactly lighting it up at Hertha these days. The initial encouragement over his performances have died down. Wasn't he recommended to Klopp by Buvac btw

That rings a bell, I think you're right. Haven't heard much about him lately.

We wont get anything for Clyne and Lallana, they're out of contract at the end of the season. Doubt we'll get much for Grujic either, maybe £20m-£25m absolute tops?

 

If Wilson, Lovren, Grujic and Shaq go to PL clubs we might still get near £80m though.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Clyne and Lallana take a big chunk off the wage bill.

[Harry Squatter]

Lovren £8-£10m

Awoniyi £5m

Shaqiri £26m

Origi £25m

Wilson £25m

Grujic £20m

 

Clyne, Lallana and Chirivella will all be out of contract in the summer.

Often more important than the fee with older players. It's why I'd let Lovren go. Ridiculous wages for a 4th choice CB

Exactly, most of our deadwood have gone, just the last few stranglers on daft money.

We won't get a penny more than £25.75m for Shaqiri.

I really hope Bournemouth stay in the league to help us swell the coffers.

I sure bournmouth don't want to spend any more money with us after ibe, solanke and that full back I can't remember the name of (Brad someone?). But after the goals he's scored this year, I think they'd be mad to let Wilson go.
