Hey! I followed this site for a long time (maybe 6 years? ) but I never thought to join before haha. Sorry if I seem random but am curious to know who people want to see as captain next year. I think Sakho is my first choice because he seems like he has real big personality compared to other player at the club. Hope I didn't make idiot of myself too much here.! ^_^.

Why wouldn't Henderson be captain next season? I think some people are expecting the whole starting 11 to change, I'd be surprised if it was more than 3.

Hendo is the captain for me, unless his injuries force him not be able to play regularly. But hopefully that will not be the case!

Agree Den. Henderson is our captain. It would surely dent his confidence and possibly affect his performance of the captaincy was took off him in my opinion. Good on ya for joining Susan btw.

Henderson has to stay as Captain, fitness permitting. If Lucas is still here after the summer then I would go with him for vice-captain. And if not, then one of Lovren/ Sakho.

Continue with Hendo lad. He's well respected by team mates, vocal and works hard.

Not saying Henderson won't be here next season or long-term, but it has to be someone that will be. If that puts him on the mix then fair enough.
That same pot will also have Can and Sakho. If they are both considered to be worthy to be kept on, then also fair enough.
If it is then a choice of the 3 of them, I honestly don't mind which one.

If I had to list my order of preference it would be:

1- Sakho
2- Can
3- Henderson

There are rumours about players on their way, might be being sold etc, but of the 3 above, there is a list of players I would replace before any of them:

Balotelli
Benetek
Skrtel
Lucas
Mignolet

We have to increase the quality of the first team and squad. You do that by replacing the ones that are contributing (for whatever reason) the least. This would be these 5 players at the moment in that order.

Then if there is an identifiable upgrade available for anyone else in the team/ squad and it is financially viable, then they can then be considered.

This can happen over 3-4 transfer windows as you don't want to have too many players coming into the first team at once. If you went with that list of 5, it is only Mignolet that is players all of the time, so only one player from the first team. The other 4 can be replaced with better players which will improve the squad which allows for better rotation, cover for injuries etc.

Please add moreno, ibe to list of player to be sold.

Why on earth would we sell ibe? Only way he is leaving is if he forces his way out but would be stupid for the club to try and get rid of him. And despite recent presumptions ibe has always seemed very happy at Liverpool and obviously has great relationship with some of the players like sturridge and Henderson.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect at the end of season review Ibe might well be seen as surplus. The club cannot keep adding players to an already bloated squad. Don't be surprised if Ibe doesn't make the cut.}

Not referring to the OP but Hendo is the captain and people need to get over it.
