The problem is bro, a lot of those names you listed above just aren't very good anymore. Or they are young guys who just haven't found that next gear.
Gomez and Jones aren't good enough imo. You can call it bad luck due to injuries or age. Call it what you want, but those guys should be moved on.
Yep. No room for hendo and milner in the same squad. Henderson is a pale shadow of what he was. It won't improve with age. His body no longer allows him to do what made him the player he was. He came on near the end against Brighton and was still over run.
Milly is almost 38.
Jones nowhere near good enough. Cash in. Can't believe he got a 5 year contract on the back of the odd flash of anything.
Fabinho is well over his best. Cash in. Be another ox/keita hanging around and leaving for free otherwise. Let's not make the same mistake.
Gomez ... years of promise. Injured alot. Has been poor again this season. Another who got handed a long contract. Not good enough. Cash in.
Ox/keita - June can't come quick enough.
Now for the controversial one. Trent. He's got 3 months. Work harder , look like you want to be there, stop sulking and show a better attitude. Carry on as it he can go as well.
We want the players to feel trust ... to feel settled. But they also have to know if they don't perform they'll be on their way. Managers and teams have put players out to pasture whilst still in their peak ... just before they go over the hill. There's no nostalgia ... it gets done. It keeps everyone motivated and on their toes.
Klopp needs to send a message with the players he let's go ... just as much as the ones he brings in.
So for me:
Ali
Kellerher
New RB
Ramsay
Tsimikas
Robbo
Vvd
Matip
Konate
New CB
Philips or williams
Bajcetic
Thiago
Elliott
Cavalho
Milner/henderson
3 new midfielders
Jota
Bob
Nunez
Diaz
Gapko
Salah
Doak
The forward line needs leaving as is ... other areas need addressing.
Out
Henderson/milner
Fabinho
Gomez
Trent
Jones
Keita
Ox
Philips or Williams.
Most of these will bring good money in.
English players going out ... hopefully bring better ones in.
