wijnaldum?

I think Klopp wil give Matip another year before making a final decision. He only joined last year. Even though no transfer fee was paid for him, the club will probably expect in excess of 30Mil, and given this year's performances, I doubt there are many takers.

Would rather keep Lallana. I don't see why he is getting so much stick at the moment. he's been a long term injury but was one of our best players before that. He is our only midfielder (not including salah and mane) who has a bit of magic in his boots, an ability to spot pass's other don't and make something of nothing. A bad move to move him on I think.

I'd expect Mignolet, Bogdan, Clyne, Flanagan, Randall, Williams, Can, Milner, Lallana, Matkovic, Sturridge and Origi.

Maybe one of Matip or Lovren. Possibly the likes of Ward, Moreno, Grujic, Ings, Kent, Ojo, Awoniyi and Allan.

I agree Lallana is a quality player but honestly he’s not going to win the league for us with his quality in the final third.

I agree on all but Milner and Ings. If Milner agrees to be a backup and cut his salary then okey but otherwise the best decision will be to let him go. I hope Ings stays, he deserves a full year at the club to prove him self, hopefully injury free.

Milner wants first team football so will likely leave, and good luck to him he’s an excellent pro. I’d say likely departures are between

Mignolet.
Ward (but hope he stays) .
Flannaghan.
Randall.
Clyne.
One of Matip or Klavan.
Markovic.
Milner.
Lallana.
Can.
Sturridge.
Origi.
Ings.

It will be more departures than arrivals for me this summer. I hope Grujic, Woodburn, Gallagher, Brewster and Wilson kick on next season and get more games or prem loans at least. Five youngsters who could really be future stars for us.

If Ward and Mignolet go what are the GK plans? More so if a new number one comes in will Karius stay or is there a complete change of keepers?

I think lallana should be given at least another season quite a useful player when fully fit.
Sturridge ings mignolet possibly moreno would be my guess as to the favourites to go. I think milner keeps a squad place due to the number of positions he can play.

I would keep lallana without doubt. Milner too, and of course Can but that's likely a no go.
Migs will go, matip/ lovren if we buy another cb. Clyne cause we've been looking at rbs. Can cause he wants to. Sturridge cause he's unfortunately a write off. If he was a car he'd have been made into tin cans by now. Origi will likely not come back. But other than that I'd say we'll keep the team together.

Ed's what is the English quota clubs need to carry?

{Ed001's Note - need to carry? No such thing, they don't have any quota of English players they have to reach.}

oh ok my mistake, always thought there was. Thanks Ed.

{Ed001's Note - no, never has been. There is a quota of home-grown players, but they can be from Timbucktoo and still qualify as home-grown.}

Has Milner himself said he wants to play first team and needs more gametime? or is this and assumption here?
If he wants to stay, I'd like to keep Milner for whatever money. For me he is the English guy you want in the dressing room -all fun and high spirits and of course genuine professional. Kind of a silent leader who can lift morale in the room and lift the team on the pitch with and absurd tackle or two. Him and Hendo make a good english duo for us.
PS- i think Milner should grow a Moustache like the one he had a leeds.

{Ed001's Note - Milner has always maintained that he wants more gametime and first team football. It is why he left Man City to join us in the first place.}

Oh! that is a pity ed, I'd love to keep milner. i do appreciate him as a player. couldn't we convince him?

{Ed001's Note - why would we want to? It is much better for him to go and play elsewhere and we can have someone who isn't costing us £150k a week on the bench. If he had not been at the club, Robertson, for instance, would have got his chance from the bench much sooner.}

I was thinking in relation to us saving money on a midfielder and investing our resources on a CB and GK, who i think should be a massive priority.
If Milner was leave that leaves us a bit thin in the midfield and then club will look to replace. which might effect other targets? or would that be completely unrelated.

{Ed001's Note - unrelated. The club know about his desires and it is being prepared for. Look at it this way, Trent Alexander-Arnold is being prepared for a midfield role, if Milner stays that will not happen next season as Milner will get the minutes Trent would otherwise get.}

Oh that's great news about TAA, with his delivery and passing TAA could really be asset in the midfield. Yea definitely should proceed with youth.
I was thinking of milner in a mentor role, but well its gametime that he wants and his game time will cut into the minutes of TAA, grujic, ejaria etc. so its almost a no brainer now.
I just wish club has right plans for these players and don't rush into panic buying because they feel they have less mids.

{Ed001's Note - hopefully they do have good plans in place.}

Lallana has no magic in his boots and why he is on the bench. I don’t know how people rate him! Bang aveage player who is only good enough to press! Takes far too many touches and no turns juts to shocase his skills! He has absolutely no vision to pick players hence he was never given any responsibilities to dictate the game when he was in form! He could press so could AOC!
The team has upped a level or two meanwhile Lallana is still where he was! If he wasn’t English the club would have sold him ahead ago!
