I think there is
Some will obviously go if we can get buyers
Heres my views on who should stay go
Migs- Probably stay just, as back up to someone else,unless we get offered a decent fee, £5m would be enough for me
Ballotelli,Yesil,Teixeira,Luis Alberto,Enrique,Bogdan, Toure, Ilori - Go
Sakho,Gomez,Henderson,Can,Firmino,Origi,Ings,Sturridge,Clyne,Flanno -Stay
Wisdom - Go , if he aint doin it at Norwich , not good enough for us
Moreno- Keep but buy someone to compete for his position
Lovren & Lallana – stay , recent form has changed my mind,just, mind you if we got offered £10 for either, go
Skrtel – Go, been no better than average for yrs,sell for as much as poss
Benteke – Go, Terrible buy, doesn’t suit us at all
Ibe and Ojo – Loan out to PL teams
Rossiter ,Brannagan,Kent– loan to championship
Lucas – Go, think we have seen his best yrs, not good enough for us anymore, need an upgrade
Milner and Allen- Would sell both for a decent fee, but don’t think we would get offered that fee, Id accept £4m for Milner and £7m for Allen, keep if we arnt offered that
Coutinho – Obviously stay, but worried a Spanish heavyweight may come him for him ,if they do, sell for no less than £60m
Sinclair- Available on a bosman in the summer, but as hes under 21 we get a fee, let him go
Markovic- Believe hes doin ok in Turkey, but didn’t do it for me in England, sell if we get our money back , £20m
Cull on the way??

I think Toure's contract is up this summer. He's not being sold.

Should be renewed then.

I don't know actually. Matic, Lovren, Sakho and Gomez. May be room for one more but would think that will be Skrtel or a Skrtel replacement.

Why would we replace Skrtel, our best centre back

We've only (finally) got fit forwards 3/4ths the way through the season.
And we look miles better, underperfoming players are now performing (shocking, I know) and the side is finally able to start to play as a team.
I don't think we'll really know until the end of the season. 10-15 matches or so to see who's really worth it.

I think Benteke will be sold as he's never going to be a starter for us or he'd already be starting. Ings won't be in top condition for the first half of the season and a Sturridge shouldn't be relied upon.
That being said I think we need one more striker to go with Ings Sturridge and Origi.
I also think Ings will prove top quality for us next season.

Firmino's best position is as a striker IMO. I read somewhere that all his goals have come when Sturridge is not on the pitch. He seems capable of playing up top alone or in the more withdrawn role in a front two.

Maybe Ive put a couple too many departures, but I don’t think Ive gone that far over board,as I think there be 6-9 incomings this summer,And after this summer Jurgen will look to big maximum 2 in each window, rumours of a £100m net budget, with a think is exaggerated and it will be nearer to £50-60m
I can see us bringing in
A 1st choice keeper- Horn,Karius,Stegen
Maybe another CB on top of Matip, which will mean the end for maybe both Toure and Skrtel
A LB to compete with Moreno- maybe Hector
A CM additional to Grujic, a 1st choice one for big money- maybe Xhaka,Ruben Neves,Gundogan,Goretzka
Probably 2 players who can play wide or as a 10 - Heavily linked with Gotze and Zielinski today, but perhaps someone like Sane or Isco
The only area I don’t think we will strengthen is striker,as I think with Firmino able to play there and also having Ings and Origi, think he would be happy to let Benteke go without bringing anyone in
