I wouldnt kick anybody out. I'd have another attacking midfielder, letting Henderson develop and rotate into some games, whilst sending Shelvey on loan to a Premier League team. I'd also sign a wide forward which would enable Sterling to develop and rotate into the team. Any other signings for the squad for example a left back and a defensive midfield player.
Suso has already been jettisoned after Sturridge arrived. It depends who we bring in but I would say Shelvey will be vulnerable of we bring in another creative player.
Its not like that op tho. Sterling, suso and wisdom shouldnt be starting every week, and we shouldnt be relying on 18yr olds to drive us on.
2 or 3 players is right, id take Sneidjer, Alonso and a top winger...the young lads could get a much needed rest and be better for it.

Oh forgive me, I didn't realise we could have as many players as we like in the squad. I thought it was limited to 25. Roughly 2 players for every position and a couple extra.
It is. We have sold Cole, sent Sahin back and sold Kuyt, Maxi and Bellamy last summer. We need replacements.
Yeah I think Shelvey is probably most vulnerable of the mids right now.
He started the season well but has been too inconsistent when he had a chance to nail down a place.
A season long loan in the Prem could benefit him greatly.
I think we can still improve at centre half. Agger-Skrtel have been together a while now and don't really convince me as a pair. They are both good players but not sure they make a good partnership, and maybe Carra playing yesterday and Rodgers talk of the squad being quiet is a signal of that.
I think we need a dominant leader at the back, and I am not sure that is Skrtel.
Despite enriques upturn in performances, i wouldnt say no to another lb, id also look for a pacey backup centre back, but that depends on where the manager sees wisdoms long term future
I see both Kelly and Wisdom as capable backups at centre back. When Carragher retires I'd like to see them tried there.
i think kelly has gone past the stage where he will go back to centre back now, hes settled and composed at rb, and we do have younger option for cb that could well turn out better than him
Tranq.......Robinson is going to be LFC left back for yrs, Enrique is just keeping it warm for him; we are well sorted at lb.
Completely disagree. I see Kelly as a future England centre back.

maxi, kuyt and Bellamy weren't named in this years squad. Sahin and cole have gone but we've brought in Sturridge and maybe one more soon. If you're going to add to the squad though, someone else has to make room assuming the rest are fit don't they?
The submitted list this year WAS..
Daniel Agger, Joe Allen, Ossama Assaidi, Jamie Carragher, Sebastian Coates, Joe Cole, Doni, Stewart Downing, Steven Gerrard, Peter Gulacsi, Jordan Henderson, Glen Johnson, Bradley Jones, Jose Enrique, Martin Kelly, Lucas Leiva, Jose Manuel Reina, Nuri Sahin, Martin Skrtel, Luis Suarez.
I have just read however that the under 21 squad can be used IN ADDITION to that list. I didn't realise when I originally posted. Maybe that's why FSG want to increase our youngsters. That adds real depth to the squad.
So without jettisoning someone else, we've got room for one more over 21 player. Any more though, Someone has to make way.
We CAN have as many young players as we like. So Wisdom, Sterling, Suso etc wouldn't count as a squad place
In an ideal world I'd take Sanchez, Alonso and Sneijder in place of Sterling, Allen and Henderson. But that only means 3 young players drop to the bench and can develop over time, rather than anybody actually 'getting the chop'
im not so sure on robinson myself, doesnt seem to have bulked up much and looks a bit slight, he needs a loan move to a prem or high level championship club to really test him out
Robinson has had a lot of injuries (like Kelly really). They both need a long period of being healthy so they can learn their craft. Robinson has all the raw materials, just lacks game time.
I agree with TOOR that Kelly will be a centre half though.
I think we need a first team centre half though to play with Agger.
I don't dislike Skrtel, but I don't think he is good enough as a regular starter for a top 4 team which is where we want to be.
We need someone of Hyypia's dominance and leadership to play with Agger in my opinion.
I think Robinson will be am excellent player also. He has it all in terms of what an attacking full back should have. Most 18 year olds are slight when compared with grown athletes.
