Now Benitez is gone, which players will a new manager look to get rid of?

[Moschops II]

I think it's likely the deadwood will be slowly shifted over 2 or 3 years. A new manager won't be able to just come in and sell 10 players and sign 10 players, it never works out that way.

 

And I think a few players might find a new lease of life under new management, and whoever takes over will want to see the players himself before he lets them go.

 

You really think it'll be the new manager letting the players go?

[Faustus]

Whats with the Cavalieri suggestions?

 

He's always gave a good account on the very few occasions he got to play? He's a decent enough understudy to Reina I think.

 

I think probably because we'd be able to get a couple of quid for him to (maybe) go in the transfer pot, mate.

 

Decent enough understudy, I agree, but if we got between £1-1.5m for him, I'd get shut and have Gulacsi as no2.

[RafaLaBamba]

I've personally always thought he's looked nervous when he's played and doesn't ever really look like he wants to catch the ball. Plus, if we sell him we may raise in the region of £5mill and we could just promote Gulacsi to 2nd choice which would mean we would be gaining money to spend on targets. To me, it looks like it would be a good bit of business.

[stevienando]

Who the fuck would pay 5m for Cavalieri? Bear in mind that Reina cost 6m.

[RazorBack]

@stevienando: City bought Adebayor for 25 milion so anything is possbile these days..

[danperkins]

Great Thread By The Way:

 

IMO:

Cavalieri

Kuyt

Babel

Insúa

Degen

Plessis

Itandje

Zhar

Rieira

Lucas

Skrtel ??(Greek just as good, get good price for Skrtel)

 

 

Need: LM/LB/CM/CF/CB

Gulacsi is a very sound option and cheaper in wages

Can't remember the source but he asked if he could go back to Brazil not long back.

 

If we sold him to a european side we could get at least £3m but if he's going back to a Brazilian club I don't think we'll get as much.

[Juan Galonso]

I think he has some family problems back in Brazil or something.

 

Be lucky to get 1m for him.

[silverlining]

The new manager should sell Lucas, Insua and Eggnog immediately. They did more to hurry along Benitez's departure last season than most. At least with under-performers like Gerrard we know he *can* be world class. Those three simply have to go.

 

I would also shed few tears if Benayoun left, and while I do rate and like Kuyt, amybe we need to bring fresh blood in all over the park.

 

I would worry more about the possibility of losing one, or more of our best four players:

 

Torres, Masher, Gerrard and Reina.

 

We won't see all four of those in the same team again, that's for sure.

[il principe]

Sell:

Kuyt

El Zahr

Plessi

Riera

[waddy78]

el zahar got to go i didnt realise hes 24 years old (presumed he was 19-20) if he was going to be any kind of player would have been by now,plessis,soto,Riera,spearing(dont think he will make it at l,pool) kuyt(if we get a good offer 30 now and not an out an out goalscorer)yossi (recon hes made his mind up to go) masch(same reason as yossi) possibly Babbel (just think his heart isnt in it would suit italian football i think) could get in about 50-60 million not that we will get anything of it back

[KopOut]

Unfortunately, any new manager will have his / her hands tied by our Capitalist Pig Owners who have first call on club assets.

 

Sven is probably desperate for continued respect and another chance to climb the football ladder, and would do the job for nothing, with nothing, fool that he is.

Yeah, he's always been one for the job rather than the pay packet has old Sven.

 

It's actually kind of weird to me, all sarcasm aside, that you could type anything so completely, utterly, ineffably *wrong*. So wrong it's almost come full fucking circle all the way to right.

[jamespp]

Pay no attention to me, been off my face for about 3 days. It's my process to hide from 'reality' until I can formulate a plan to face said 'reality'

[G Richards]

There will be several mid ranking players he may not fancy and would be quite sellable e.g. Babel, Kuyt; and there would be several fringe players who should be sold, though money recouped from them will be minimal.

 

I would have thought £30M+ would be easy to come up with, plus the mooted £15M that is available. With £50M spent wisely the team could be freshened up and one or two of the better youngsters promoted.

 

A bigger issues is whether we sell any top tier players, and there are questions marks over Mascherano, Stevie and Nando. Mascherano would be the easiest to replace, Nando the hardest. The issue at this level is whether the manager gets all the money to reinvest. If he does, we might still be OK. If not, we are weakened.

[WaltonRed]

I think probably because we'd be able to get a couple of quid for him to (maybe) go in the transfer pot, mate.

 

Decent enough understudy, I agree, but if we got between £1-1.5m for him, I'd get shut and have Gulacsi as no2.

 

In one.

 

And whoever the number two is, they should be the reserves number one.

 

I never understood why Rafa wouldnt allow Cavalieri to play in the reserves.

[Kevin D]

I think a new manager would keep Kuyt and see him as a senior member of the squad. Obviously not to the same, at times frightening, extent as before but I think he'll still be playing a lot of games for us. I also think the new man would try his hand with Babel, outside Anfield people still reckon he could be a good player.

 

Beyond that, not knowing who this manager is ( Lippi's ideas on football differ from Mark Hughes') and whether three of our best players want away or not, it's too difficult to say.

[WaltonRed]

I'd keep Dirk.

[Jose Jones]

There’s no way a new manager would get rid of Dirk.

Dutch international

Scores vital goals

Balls of steel

Always gives 100%

Can play in a couple of positions

Doesn’t moan and twat about

Good squad man

 

It still amazes me on TLW where Erik Meijer is a cult hero and Neil Mellor is still held in fond regard that people call Dirk Kuyt all matter of names under the sun, and it’s readily accepted.

[chauncey]

Slight derail: would Woy bwing back Murphy? Would he want to come back? Would you want him back?

[Arl arse]

The question should be: Who will he keep?

[Heinze]

derp.
