Just a bit of general discussion, and not I hope an excuse to hate on players: we can't change lots of positions in one window, as we have done a couple of times since 2011.
The team won't have a chance of gelling or performing well if we introduce 7 new first team starters, and yet a case could be made for at least six changes.
So there has to be a balance between the urgency of the need to change, and the damage that increasing amount of change will do, at least for the first half a season.
So what starting players would you change, and where would the replacement come from?
For me, gk cb and lb are the top priority, and then DM and forward players to replace the likes of lallana, and to push coutinho and see if he can improve his consistency a bit.

I just want a new LB, that's all.

Best way of curing the left back problem is to swap Clyne over to the left and put Flannagan on the right for next season. A couple of times we have done this throughout the season and we looked a lot more secure at the back. I know we couldn't have done this last night. We could then have Smith as cover as well as Gomez. Would sell off Moreno and try to get in a LB in this or the January window. Personally think we need a GK, LB, a proper defensive mid, and Gotse. I also thought Can had his worst game for us in a long time at fault for the 2nd goal. The squad definitely needs trimming with no european football next season which I think is a good think as long as it is only for one season.

Out of 6 we have already bought 2 and 2 are on the pipe line.
My summer plans would be

1. A GK who is vocal and doesn't flapp

2. A LB who could defend and attack when needed.

3. A DM who sit there and protect the backline. Good in tackling, read the game well.

4. A wide player who has pace and trickery and goals in him.

5. A classy CM who has an eye for pass and scores occasionally, Good distribution skills and has the intelligence to split the defense.

This would be enough IMO.
