Just wondering on the eds opinions on possible outs?
if we look at the side now we have milner, henderson, lucas, allen, can, lallana, ibe, markovic, coutinho, firminio, ings, origi, sturridge and benteke (or alternative)
That is 14 players fighting for 6 positions and that doesn't include any youth or additional signings that could be made like kovacic.
Surely some of these have got to leave, I know we need a strong squad but including youth who could play a few games that would be more or less three different teams, I can't see players being happy with that or it giving any of the fringe/young players a chance

{Ed002's Note - Players will need to move on, yes. I have explained who seem the most likely candidates in the past but perhaps there will be at least one player leaving who was not expected to leave. We will see in the coming weeks.}

Markovic?

I would hazard a guess at one of Lallana, Lovern or Markovic

Lallana Ed? with Firminio signed that could be a surprise one.

ed mate you are not suggesting it will be coutinho are you? not expected as you say, my only guesses are coutinho or henderson. won't be surprised if anyone else is sold. i have also heard about interest in coutinho from Bayern Munich. but it was twitter. now that you say so. fingers crossed.

Oh dear. That doesn't sound promising.

Unless it's Mignolet. Or Skrtel.

Oh well, let's keep the faith.

"perhaps there will be at least one player leaving who was not expected to leave"

Vague, misleading, and. exciting if it's who I think it is!

Any player in particular edd. I have a bad feeling coutinho is going to leave this summer.

8.) 09 Jul 2015

Coutinho, lallana, Allen or marko

Ed002- I have seen about the unexpected player its not Coutinho is it beginning to get more and more worried that Firmino is going to end up being Coutinho's replacement. I could see Lallana moving on as it looks like he has fallen down the pecking order which is unfortunate because apart from Coutinho I feel he is one of the best players

No chance of it being Coutinho.

Calm down guys. No chance we sell Coutinho. Not yet anyways.

Its likely to be Lazar because there've been murmurs about him not being fit for the premier league or sth like that. Think hell go out on loan.

Love the excitement the cryptic one liner has created, nice on ed :)

My vote would be for Lucas or Allen, but an outside chance its Markovic, Skrtel or Lovren.

It's Gerrard!
Ah no just joking, it can't be, he'd never leave.

Lucas or lallana will leave the club. However if Lucas leaves it will be down to him I imagine and not the club after he was told he was part of the clubs plans when there was talk of him leaving in January. Lallana has fallen down the pecking order recently and frankly was not really needed in the first place. We have too many attacking players that play centrally: coutinho, Lallana, Firmino, and Henderson and Can can also play there too as well as teixera too.

I wouldn't be surpised if Lallana left especially if pedro or kovacic come in

It's not Coutinho. Didn't you see the man love between Coutinho and Firmino when they were celebrating Robinho's goal in the Copa? Those two are looking to make sweet magic together.

Going to suggest someone you wouldn't expect, Daniel Sturridge.

can't see coutinho leaving, he genuinely seems to enjoy it here and now he has firminio, who he appears to be friendly from their time with brazil so i would doubt it would be him. Also can't really see it being lallana given that we paid 26 million and he wasn't a complete disaster so to sell him for a lot less (which we would have to do) would make the club look poor so can't see that either. I would imagine lucas (although hope not) and maybe markovic on a decent loan deal somewhere if one can be found, and possibly origi on loan too. still got my fingers crossed one to leave is Allen though

Never a guarantee of staying but Phil recently signed a contract extension in the blink of an eye and came out saying how easy it was to make his decision to sign. He got a lot of good press at the time which was at the start of this Sterling no sign debacle.

Its Ilori isn't it Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool have been unable to sell Ilori and it seems he will stay.}

Sturridge.

You all go mad now but Ed02 actually dropped that little nugget on us 1, if not 2 weeks ago,
As long as it's not Henderson or Coutinho, I don't mind so much, although I'd be keen to hold onto Lucas too.

I'm not going to suggest any player since its too broad to choose from and it just becomes throwing names out of a hat. I agree it won't be coutinho, just don't see it with him signing and so little from the guy or any news in general, I can't see it being him, but what surprises me is how many people think its Lallana, as someone mentioned, we paid 26 mil for the guy and he hasn't done terrible for us either, just hasn't had the opportunities to play due to injury, I think we should take a little slack off the guy, when he has played and gone a few games, he does pull magic out the bag every so often. Still a cracking player, I was just surprised by how many people think its him. Down the pecking order, is it just me but a formation of something potentially 4-2-3-1 with coutinho, firmino and lallana all interchanging with a striker up top. That sounds quite threatening to me. Milner and Hendo behind, or potentially Can/Lucas, BR could change it totally with a 3-1-2-3-1 layout. Who knows?

Instead of me guessing, could you tell us who Ed because I am dying to know now?

{Ed002's Note - It really isn't worth saying any more as the club are looking for interest in players right now.}

I have a hunch, and I may be way off the mark here, but is it Sterling?
