Here we go....
With Moreno leaving, we will need someone who can deputize at LB. Millie has been great, but I think we need someone who is more natural in that position. It will be hard to find a decent player willing to be just a backup LB, so perhaps someone like Ake who can play at LB or CB with relative ease. He would also give us the option to deploy a back 3 with him and Gomez either side of VVD.
I think we need another CB considering the injury problems of Matip, Gomez, and Lovren. If we sign Ake (or someone like him who can play LB and CB) then problem solved. If we dont, then I'd like to see us throw whatever amount of money it takes to get De Ligt. The potential partnership between him and VVD could set us up to dominate Europe for another 5-7 years.
I think Lallana needs to be replaced. That cat Rabiot is available on a free and he is a LFC fan. Seems like a no brainer.
I think Origi deserves another shot next year to continue to prove himself. However, Studge is out and it looks like Klopp just doesn't trust Shaqiri. We could probably sell Shaq for 20M+ this summer, so I'd sell and get in a new attacker who can slot into the front 3 without a drop in quality. We need 1 more player in the bracket of Salah, Mane, Firmino.
Beyond that, if Migs insists on leaving then we need a new backup GK. Otherwise, just sell some of the fringe players to trim the fat and we're good. Grujic, Kent, Wilson (his value is peak right now), Clyne, etc.
