Who is going and should/may go:
- Gerrard
- Brad Jones
- Jose Enrique
- Manquillo
- Johnson
- Lovren (but he won't)
- Leiva (but he shouldn't)
- Sterling
- Allen
- Lambert
- Borini
- Balotelli
With that in mind, we need to do a LOT of business.
Defence: Sebastian Coates could be worth bringing back, he played well from Sunderland later in the season and could team up with Sakho and Skrtel for a decent defence. Chuck Wisdom into the mix, a returning Flannagan and Moreno and we may be ok. Lovren will warm the bench.
Mids: If Lucas leaves, Can should be the man to take his role. Plays well centrally, good tackler and has better vision than Lucas. His poor form late in the season comes down to being played out of position, pure and simple. With Coutinho and Lallana sharing the CAM duties, we could do with a midfielder to play alongside Henderson as well as a back up DM. At least 2 signings of quality needed here. Possibly a good slot in for Milner who does tend to play wider which you could afford with Can at DM>
