Not saying it is likely, but I think it is possible (being done for the window).
1. Forward: Starting to think Origi will be back in the squad and I do think that is an upgrade over Ings. He might give one of the younger players more opportunities as cover for the front 3 to go with Origi and Solanke. I wouldn't think Sturridge would be kept, but...
2. Midfield: JĆ¼rgen may want to use Gini, Milner and Lallana to hold the place for Ox, hoping for a full recovery.
3. Defense: I would like a new center back, but the defense was much improved and we do at least have plenty of bodies back there.
4. Keeper: I don't think Migs will stay, but Karius will. Maybe Ward and Grabara are considered sufficient backups.
Again, I would expect more incoming (and think we need it to contend), but it's not out of the question that we are done buying for the summer window.
If we are done buying, it's a complete joke.
We are trying to replicate what we did last year AND go further, which means we need way more talent. We weren't even close to City and they haven't weakened. We need to add 3 or 4 really good players this window just to make up some ground. We have the money, we have the pull, this is a vitally important time for our club if we want to not only progress but ensure that we stay at or near the top year in and year out.
Let me remind you of what Werner said before the final:
āI am excited to see Naby Keita join the club this summer and I can only promise our supporters that we will continue to improve the squad,ā he said.
āWhatever happens on Saturday night, we will ensure we have a strong squad to compete for trophies next season which will have even more depth.
āWe will make decisions that will improve the team and we will sign players who make us even more successful.ā
