I forgot to add Reina, who is a cert to go in my opinion

Aspas
Alberto
Assaidi
Coates
Skrtel
Suso
Borini
Robinson
Moses (loan)
Cissokho (loan)

Enrique - He's been out for almost all of the season with a serious injury and he is a player that hasnt really convinced me at the best of times.

would probably have a reasonable value

--------------------------------------------------

These two are a bit contradictory. After nearly a season out injured and quite hit and miss performances generally, this is problem not a good time to shift Enrique on...

Borini has shown himself to be a good fit for Sunderland this season. To be playing for you next season, expecting to challenge for the PL and also partake in the CL he isn't good enough.

I think Johnson just needs a CB next to him, to tell him not to get carried away, Skrtel doesn't do that at all.

My main priority for the summer would be a CB with great leadership qualities as none of our current defenders will step up to the plate this season after Carra retired.
Think the main problem with the entire defence is no one knows who to look to to know where they have to be.


Who this CB could be, I haven't got any idea. I'd like it to be a young British CB but the only people I can think of are Caulker and Williams, but don't think either is vocal enough or good enough to start, although Caulker could come cheap and has time on his side.

Here's 23

off top of my head

We need to strengthen the squad in a number of area's to compete in all competitions next season.

Out of the one's listed I would say that Aspas and Enrique are the one's I'm sure should be moved on. With question marks over the rest.

I would also say that Kelly should also be probably be sold as his career has stagnated alarmingly and perhaps Toure as well seeing as he hasn't been playing much in the last few months.

As for new recruits. I would hope we are looking at a left back as a matter of urgency. Also a right sided CB, a CM (to compete/cover with Hendo and Allen), a striker (to replace Aspas and an attacker midfielder who can play wide and centrally. We will also need a keeper to cover Mignolet.

That's 5 players minimum. Depending on who goes we could need more.

Robert pan Versie #20 (U1145)

I wouldnt want to see Borini as our only other choice striker but he can play across the front three and has proven himself to be a PL class player. I'm not trying to argue he would be a top sides first choice player, but as I also said we dont have the bottomless pockets of City and Chelsea to buy players of that calibre that may be on the bench for 50% of the season.

LocoLiverpool (U18018)

I think Carra said that with the absolute intention of implying that Liverpool are worse off without him. When in actual fact I wouldnt rank him in his final few seasons above any of our current four central defenders

Borini, you will be talking to a lot of teams if he is to be sold......to tell you to stop calling them

Arouna Jagielka oooh I wanna take ya, Heitinga Nikica come on pretty mama (U1308)

If we cant sell him we can always loan him to an upper middle table team going nowhere.

TalksRubbish.

Nice

Spurs then

Spurs would probably pay £30m for him

sorry but lucas plays nothing like gerrard does as the deep player maker, the way we play would change from his role

Players that should be sold

Reina
Coates
Jones
possibly release Toure

Players that could be sold if BR chooses

Lucas
Johnson
Kelly
Aspas
Agger
Skrtel

Kelly could be loaned out, see if he can get a season under his belt and how well he does, if we still don't want him at least we could get something for him.

Assaidi/Coady/Ngoo gone too

ass

Aspas
Reina
Assaidi
Coates
Robinson
Moses (loan)
Cissokho (loan)
Kelly


Maybe's (but with the caveat that one of these out would mean someone of better quaily to come in)

Toure
Enrique
Lucas

I agree with most of that list ^

Perhaps kelly loaned out for the season

Players who should go permanently IMO:

Reina
Agger
Coates
Kelly
Assaidi
Aspas

Players who could be loaned out for experience:
Alberto
Ibe
Dunn

I would say the chances of us selling Enrique and Johnson, who are our first choice full backs, are slim to none.

Players out:
Reina
Coates
Aspas
Moses (gone deffo)
Toure
Assaidi
Suso
Johnson if we can get someone better in
Enrique, same as Johnson

We are going to have a lot more games next year so why would we move on this many players? Remember, we will already be losing Moses and Cissokho (I imagine at least). How many new players do you realistically think we will buy? The more new players the more time it takes to bed in remember.

I can see a maximum of 3 players + Reina (who is already basically gone) leaving. That is not including Moses and Cissokho.

I wouldnt be surprised if 2 fullbacks game in

Moses
