Just watching the West Ham away game from last season on lfctv and looking at the line up. Quite conceivable that our starting 11 against West Ham first up next season will see the entire back five and midfield with different personnel!

{Ed002's Note - Just try and see next season as a year of transition and don't worry about it.}

Haha that’s funny. Just can’t believe the turnover of players we have nowadays. Football has changed so much since days of only 14 players representing their team in an entire season. I know it’s more squad based now but at some stage we need to try to keep a team together for longer to bond better. Why do you think things have gone this way ed, the large turnover of players each season?

{Ed002's Note - Bad choices, too much money, managers who make dumb choices, owners who want to buy success, etc.. For other clubs I don't know.}

The recruitment of players has massively improved in the last couple of seasons. We now choose targets in positions we need and that fit a style and system.

Remember signing Adam, Carroll, Benteke, Balotelli, Allen, Downing, Mignolet etc?

I wouldn’t say our turnover of players is anywhere near as high as it was under Rodgers/ old committee.

Yes the transfer and agent fees paid are eye watering and some of the unsettling/ negotiation tactics/ illegal approaches are still areas we can improve upon.

Thanks ed, it’s amazing just how much wastage there is financially!
Flypelicanfly- I agree that our decisions seem to be improved but turnover of players still remains high. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see 6 new players coming in again this summer and maybe 10 going out!

LOL @ Ed002 and “transition”.

Some have already done that ed, saying we can give Karius at least another season to settle. 👍.
