Ed 001 bang on with your analysis of the ins and outs for the summer. Keita has been so lazy, very injury prone and did not grasp his opportunity at LFC. Has to go!
Matip, also has to go, and for me Gomez will be pushed down the pecking order. I would personally go for Konate, think he is better than Upamecano myself. Kanaka is to be watched in his performances for the remaining games to see if we add him to the squad.
Gini is leaving (makes me sad to say it) and Milner has looked laboured in recent games, but fair play to him, he has had a great career. Shaqiri is not a Liverpool player and should be sold, Ox given another season to see if he can regain full fitness. Grujic to finally be sold, not a Klopp player.
Bissouma would easily fill the Gini role, he seems to be getting better and better has vital Prem experience too.
I would trust Klopp if he is intent on Ismailia Sarr but I also like Harvey Barnes and feel he could fit in at Liverpool, again still seems to be improving.
As for the front three, so dynamic in recent years, but definitely needs a refresh, for me personally, I would sell Mane, as I believe Salah is irreplaceable and in terms of recouping serious money, Mane will fetch far more than Bobby, and Bobby does more for our all round play.
Mbappe is the dream, but he will go to RM so I would probably go for Martinez of Inter or Sancho BD.

Bobby does more for our all round play than Mane. What matches have you been watching in the last 2 to 3 years?

100% agree with your post except for the Sancho bit.

SH55, I agree with most of your post but were you aware that Oxlade-Chamberlain has never started more than 17 games in any Premiership season in 10 attempts?

I, personally, would not be giving him another season.

Matip is going nowhere - he is on 5 million a year basic and is contracted until 2024. He is so very injury prone that nobody will sign him on wages like that and why on earth would he agree to leave to earn less somewhere else? I don’t mind him staying because when fit he is excellent and he is almost unique in being able to slot straight back into the team and operate at a high level immediately. And you never know, he might just have an injury-free season at some point and be the best defender in the league!

I have to say that if any of the front three need to be sold then it has to be Bobby. Yes he has been brilliant for the club but whilst he did make a superb assist for salah’s goal yesterday, if you watch the game, he showed no desire to chase back or hassle or press the opposition. There was one bit where he let Tielemans run past him in midfield and he just didn’t bother chasing, just casually jogged back. For all the stuff he does good, he does twice as much bad, more so this season. I love Bobby but if any of the front three were to go, he would be my first choice. I would love mbappe to come in and if it mean selling mane as well to get the money, so be it. Mbappe and salah would be the most feared strike partnership in the world, and don’t forget a fully fit jota supporting them.

Well upamecano is no longer an option.

I thought Mbappe was the man but the more I see of Haaland, I think he will be the best striker of the next decade. He seems to have absolutely everything.

Haaland has been very average this season.

Good post but I agree with Barry to stay clear of Sancho. Mane v Salah is tough. 1 needs to go for funds but which one? Salah is a much better finisher but mane breaks down low block teams better and does more defensively.
