Been thinking about this since the Shamrock friendly and these are my thoughts on our potential summer transfers both in and out the club:
Players who could leave on a permanent basis:
Reina - Looks like he will sign for Napoli.
Brad Jones - A reasonable understudy but I expect we will sign one, maybe 2 goalkeepers. So he could go.
Johnson - Has had a very poor season and his performances don't justify his (rumored) £90,000 a week wages.
Agger - One of two players on this list I hope will stay, still has great qualities but could go for regular games.
Coates - Very unfortunate last summer with his injury, think he will go elsewhere, needs to play week in week out for a club.
Lucas - The other player I hope to see here - as back up next season. But there are rumors Inter could buy him.
Alberto - Rumours he is surplus here and with Coutinho, Sterling, Suso and possibly Ibe ahead of him I can see him going.
Assaidi - Looks like Stoke want him permanently.
Adorjan - Doesn't seem to be good enough to make it here.
Aspas - Started off well for him in Suarez' absence but doesn't look good enough for the Prem or Champions League.
Going out on a season long loan:
Danny Ward - Looks a good young goalkeeper for the Under 21's, let's loan him and see what he can do in a Championship/League 1 side.
McLaughlin - Needs a season long loan.
Sama - Needs a season long loan.
Coady - Looks a tidy young Footballer but needs another season to gain some more experience.
Ibe - Flashes of the future against Shamrock, needs a season away and plenty of games to gain experience.
Texiera - Looks a promising player but needs some game time.
Returning to their parent clubs:
Cissokho (Valencia) - An average season but will return to Valencia.
Moses (Chelsea) - Our poorest player this season, never looked interested.
Returning from loan to be part of the squad:
Wisdom - Has been in great form for Promotion chasing Derby and can be a decent squad player next season.
Ilori: Looks strong, fast and a good back up for next year. A player for the future.
Robinson - Had a mixed season at Blackpool and can also see him coming back and being back up to our left backs.
Suso - He's had a good season playing for Almeria and has he qualities to step in for Coutinho when needed.
Borini - Had a great season at Sunderland and deserves another crack at Liverpool next season.
Players coming in:
Goalkeeper(s): A second choice e.g. Vorm, Caballero and a young third choice e.g Darlow, McCarthy
Right Back: Richards, a perfect chance for him to reignite his career, just like Sturridge has.
Centre Back: Only if Agger leaves, I would like to see Lovren here (as rumored)
Left Back: Think we defnitely need 1 more left back to challenge Enrique, would like to see either Siqueira or Ricardo Rodriquez signed.
Centre Midfield: Rumors Emre Can could sign for us, would be a good young back up to Stevie.
Attacking Midfielder(s): Lallana and Shaqiri have been linked with us recently and think either would be a great signing.
Strikers: Bony has been linked this week and he would be a great Plan B to SAS.
How our squad could look next season:
Mignolet
Richards (RB/CB)
Skrtel
Sakho (CB/LB)
Siqueira
Henderson
Gerrard (c)
Coutinho
Sterling
Sturridge
Suarez
Subs: Vorm; Lovren, Enrique; Emre Can; Lallana, Shaqiri, Bony.
Squad players/back up:
Goalkeepers:
Darlow
Defenders:
Flanagan (RB/LB), Kelly (RB/CB), Wisdom (RB/CB), Toure, Ilori, Robinson
Midfielders:
Allen, Suso
Strikers:
Borini
Looking at this I still think we need another few midfielders and another striker, but we will have to wait and see how the summer pans out.
This will be a big summer winder with plenty of ins and outs, can't wait
