Sell 8 players (two of which are 100% staying at Liverpool and rightfully so) to buy 2 players for a season where we'll be playing far more games than we did this year.

My thinking was some of the younger players are coming through and could replace the likes of Moreno, and Klavan so on, players like Trent and Gomez....

You seem to have picked out those valuations from a random generator. 23m for Ings? On what basis?

He would keep a newly promoted side in the league. That is only basic and a real one. It would be cheap at 23 million to guarantee survival ,or at least give a club a great chance to.

130 million of deadwood. We must have 100 million to spend also
That is 230 million to buy a striker and a quality midfielder.
What is so complicated about it.

You are ignoring the fact that the agent's and player's, solicitors etc are taking a major part of the selling fee, I am afraid the net spend is far from net spend

Satisfactory end to the season.

Finishing ahead of Utd and Arsenal is a good achievement.

To do it without Mané for 10 games is an even better achievement.

Roll on August.

Not bad for a team that is apparently worse than the team that finished 7

Would agree, think Hendo is facing a battle next season though, both to stay fit and to reinsert himself as first choice.

You're mental!

Lord Trollington

Just a quick word on Brendan Rodgers, say what you will about the Scottish League - going through the league season unbeaten is a phenomenal achievement .

I genuinely think he is a top manager

Definitely need a central midfielder regardless of Hendersons fitness.

Could play 10 - 15 extra games next season. Need a big squad.

Hopefully we announce signings very soon.

My worry would be waiting to see how we can get on in the qualifying round before spending our lot. It's bound to be a factor.

I wouldn't call Origi deadwood, the guy scored 2 goals less than Mané with less game time so lets cut him a bit of slack.

Kolo also part of another invincibles?

Surely Origi is the perfect squad player.

Scores goals, is a pretty solid player. Still young but has a lot of experience already.

I'm still not convinced he's going to be a superstar but no way I'd be getting rid.

Osmosis Jones

Definitely don't see Hendo as a starter next season, hoping Naby Keita is the lad we bring in, seems to be the most heavily rumoured and he's fantastic.

I think is a very good manager. Celtic improving in Europe after the Barca game as well.

But the SPL is very weak. League One level.

sounds like some transfers could be completed early this summer.

mmmm ......... I wonder does that include players out too?
Regardless, pretty much done at this stage is either damn impressive or going to be quite underwhelming.

So Buford..... Did he play?

Great day all round. One of the teams didn't show up so the squad was split so they all played all the games. He was playing right midfield and scored an absolute howler of a goal. He had the ball in midfield and was about to pass and slipped and kicked the ball much harder than he wanted to. It deflected off a defender and was trickling towards goals, easy save for the keeper.

The keeper who was at the other side of the goals climbing up the barrier:D

It just trickled over the line. I haven't laughed as much in years:cool:

Swapped with herself, who wanted to see one of the games so I went off to see the young lady playing RB in the u10 girls and arrived back just at the 45th minute!

You're welcome, lads!

For the past few years I've been betting against my Evertonian mate that Liverpool would get 4th. €50 a season, but this season I decided to double it to €100, for the craic like. I'm laughing today now! Klopp is bringing us places and I've great faith in him.

This time it seems like it's already a done deal that Lucas will be leaving. Sad day, although some will be happy about it.

Ah don't be silly. He hadn't had 2 seasons out with a really serious injury on both knees before that season. It's just increased his value.

Always liked Lucas, showed passion and heart for the club and never once moaned or pissed (publicly) over not getting a huge amount of game time. I'd keep him before a lot of others in the squad.

cj maxx

I think the overall feeling is one of relief to get into the cl.
Not a great season but given where we were in January a decent job done .
Klopp and FSG will no doubt identified where and who needs upgraded on but I'm pessimistic on a marquee signing Though I think there will be a culling of the squad

How is it not a great season? Finished ahead of two clubs who on paper had far stronger and deeper squads. Our issue was beating the dross. That's a lot easier to fix than if we couldn't beat our peers.

Top 4 was a goal at the start of the season. We got it. Great season imo.

He must love giving money away.

Sporting Lisbon, Viktoria Plzen, CSKA Moscow, Club Brugge, Steaua Bucharest, Young Boys, Hoffenheim, Nice, Istanbul Basaksehir or Beşiktaş, runners-up in Greece

Big advantage that we are seeded.

Nice.

In the context of a coming season with more games and looking to compete on multiple fronts, letting Lucas go seems silly.

Damn dust in my eyes again, gets everywhere.

I'll miss Lucas, comes across as a real genuine guy and his experience will be missed next year.

Maybe I didn't say it right . Great season got our ambition of cl
Not an outstanding season as in title challenges / cups is a better way of putting it

Lovren almost cost us again today.....he'd drive you mad.......

Milkers

I'd get rid of Lovren and keep Lucas.

Two sides to it.

Perhaps Lucas wants to get more games and have a more settled future, now that he's into his 30s?

I had high hopes for Cameron Brannagan but both he and Stewart haven't panned out.

We have Grujic, who's missed most of the season as reserve and at worst we have Hendo as a squad player (although hopefully he recovers fully and is a mainstay next season). We appear to be signing at least one more MF in Keita or someone like him.
Don't forget about Milner as well.

So for two positions that'll be 5 seniors and Grujic and whatever other children are floating about in reserve. Maybe even Lallana in a pinch.

If we're looking for depth I'd rather it's in the attacking end.
That spot furthest forward can be filled be pretty much any of the attacking mids and probably any new ones that come in.

So overall, there'll be a dozen lads for the 3 spots. Plenty IMO.

I just watched Klopp's post match presser. I got the impression that instead of the "we have everything pretty much done" that he means in terms of identifying people who they want to sign, rather than got them all lined up nearly ready to announce. I hope I'm wrong, but it sounded more that way to me.

Harry Palmr

Klopp needs to remember to be careful with his use of his second language, we're all so desperate for good vibes it's easy to put a spin on that he didn't intend.

BorneTobyWilde

Lucas just turned 300, Milner 32.
Why are we getting rid of a young player.

I just don't get the whole Lucas thing, he is happy to be a squad player and we need a big squad next year.
If we fail to qualify for CL do we end up in EL ??
