I think thats everyone we'd want to keep, some probably want to keep Milner and Gomez etc but its down to them, we don't stand in players way if they want out to play more regularly or w.e.
No real issues on Homegrown quotas? If we have to we could sign a HG 3rd gk?
Worryingly entering the final year of some key players Mane Salah Bobby mainly but expensive signings like Naby too, do we give him an extension? I would, i think hes still capable of atleast 1 strong season where he stays fit, still only 27 and i wouldnt wanna lose him for nothing. Good enough as a squad player for sure. Ox? im not so sure on if we can get a bit of cash for him i would.
Anyway, whats everyones thoughts, whats the key area you want us to strengthen? As it stands now mf and fw especially with Mane and Salah in their last year?
Squad

Salah and Mane cost 34m if we get another year out of them and they leave for free itll still have been well worth it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a nice way to look at it but if they leave for free, that is 150 million worth of asset we give away, no matter what their contributions were in their time here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very true. It may not be the worst thing to cash in on Mane or Salah at their peak and invest in younger players.

Looks like calvin ramsay will come in from aberdeen so I imagine that means neco will be allowed to move onto fulham.
I suspect 1 of ox or keita to be moved on and right now that surely has to be ox. Keita has actually become a very important player for us amd has shown what hes about when he stays fit.
I think a mew midfielder is a priority and Id be amazed if 1 isnt bought. Klopp and co will have known haaland to city was done before he signed his contract extension. I dont think he signs that extension without some sort of guarentees the club continue to invest in order to compete.
Personally and its just me, if mane or salah dont sign extensions Id sell now. They will both still command sizeable fees that can go towards a replacement. If we wait a year and either walk away on a free thats a massive player we need to try and replace with no money comimg in. We dont do that really. When we spend big its usually becasue we have big money coming in too. For what its worth though I think they will both sign extensions.
As has been the case for a couple of years now we are in the enviable position of only needing 1 or 2 to come in. The days of needing 6 or 7 in are long gone. A top class young midfielder will be enough for me.

I absolutely don't want to cash in if there is a chance of them signing a new deal. The issue is that we should know by now if we're going to sign a new deal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair. Both are top top players and I know players are lasting longer these days but if I was a Liverpool fan my only concern would be if they sign long term deals players of that style can sometimes swiftly decline after 30.

I think ox, neco and mini have to go. Also origi is gone ad well.
We def need a new cm to take over milner and hendo roles in future and a rb.

Maybe Neco can be that rb? dno depends on hos much he wants first team and if a clubs willing to match our valuation of him. Got 3 years left on his contract. Ox 1, what happened to Ox anyway not injured, but like minamino not making the bench either.

Evolution not revolution.
A lot of 4th choice types being talked of going so really there's just the few designs to make like milner and gomez saying yes I stay for medals not to play every week.
25 man squad, 17 foreign max so its not hard to see what we need to do.
