If Illori can play rb, then I fear Kelly's future at anfield is limited.
Andre should stay, he has a big future.
Coates is doomed.
However, one thing Manure showed is strength in depth, we had Skrtel as back-up - a couple of years ago we would probably have struggled to field such a replacement,

I'd expect Skrtel to go. Sakho will play but I expect Llori will be eased in over the next couple of years (at which point Toure will be 34 and getting limited chances), Kelly and Wisdom (only 20) will only get chances there if there's injuries to other players otherwise they are cover for RB.
Like you said Wisdom loan and Skrtel out
We might actually start rotating the centre backs a little between the 4 and have an option to play 3
Kelly is the one I don't know about, if one of the others can do a job at right back I'd let him go on loan too perhaps. He needs games and he needs to prove his fitness.

Always thought Ilori should be allowed to stay with Sporting Lisbon (perhaps with option to recall in Jan) if a deal is struck. Might not be the best of leagues but would still aid in his development.
Absolutely. As things stand it doesn't seem likely that he'll get any closer to playing than he was today.
We spent 12M on two young defenders on an upward curve in Coates and Wilson and what did we end up doing with them... I keep repeating myself on this subject but I really hope we've learned our lesson otherwise it'll be 20M on three young defenders wasted.
Yeah, but Kelly has yet to play as centre-half for the first team. He'll play at right back in Johnson's absence as Wisdom goes on loan.
We are missing the point, though. I reckon the outstanding performance by the entire back 4 was partly due to the presence of competition. Too many had got comfortable.

I wouldn't even count Coates - saw somewhere that March at the earliest for a return.
Rodgers said he wanted Wisdom to go out on loan, so that might happen.
Kelly playing CB isn't going to happen.
There's no rush to play Ilori - he can take some time to bed in.
You'd think Skrtel would be off, but maybe it'll promote competition - and there's no way Agger & Toure will get through a season without having a couple of injuries.

Rotation depending on need : Agger, Toure & Sakho
Sold today : Skrtel
Pending sale : Coates (when fit again, Jan or next Summer)
Cups & reserve CB : IIlori (don't know re. RB ability as Buddha mentioned)
RB only (or emergency CB cover if already on the bench) : Kelly, Wisdom
Possible Loan : Wisdom
Possible Sale : Kelly
Sold today : Skrtel
Pending sale : Coates (when fit again, Jan or next Summer)
Cups & reserve CB : IIlori (don't know re. RB ability as Buddha mentioned)
RB only (or emergency CB cover if already on the bench) : Kelly, Wisdom
Possible Loan : Wisdom
Possible Sale : Kelly
Coates will be here at least until Jan.
Is Skrtel really being sold? Haven't heard anything in a long while.
I think there's the emergency loan window for lower league clubs that begins a week after deadline day that lasts until the fourth Thursday in November and can range from 28 days to 93 days. That'll suit the likes of Kelly and Wisdom.
Coates - yes that's what I meant by Pending Sale - sorry it wasn't clear (amended now)
Skrtel - just my forecast

Can Sakho play in the DM role?

Skrtel will drop out of favour, Ilori's in the ressies and occassionally on the bench, so it's between Rolo, Agger and Sakho for the 2 spots. One of whom is currently injured.
