Who is top of Klopp's list do you think?
I'd go for Benteke.

I agree that it will depend to an extent on interest from other teams. However I am sure he will be looking for a Balotelli exit, one way or another - Bogdan also, for sure. I think other potential departures would include: Moreno, Sakho, Toure, Lallana, Allen, Lucas, Milner, Benteke, Texeira. Probably anybody at the right price, though.
Depends on good offers. If we don't get a good enough deal is it worth it? Like if and when West Ham offer us £15m for Benteke in the summer
Hand. Snapped. Off.
I feel for Benteke but I'd need to see something before the end of season before I wouldnt start seeing that offer as awfully tempting.
Would hold out for 20m though.
He can't get rid of that many in one go from the squad. I don't think he'd dispense with Milner or Sakho either. Unless the price is ridiculous.
It's a squad game now. But in terms of changing things, I hope we are patient, because it's going to take more than this summers window to change the last 5 or 6 transfer windows.
Nah, I'd rather keep him on the bench then sell for 15M. In today's market we'd be mad to accept that unwanted or not.
He's easily worth 25M to someone.
Not necessarily suggesting all of them - but I think those names are ones for whom we would be most receptive to offers. Klopp has already stated that he does not want to loan out the way we have done, which likely means there will be more outgoing than incoming this summer. The number of injuries this year has already forced us to adopt a larger squad, so I do expect a half-dozen or more outgoings.
He was probably worth more to Villa than we paid for him.
Doesn't seem to suit us though.
I agree with 15m, but 20m and I'd be sorely tempted.
Fuck that 25m minimum or he stays.
First out will be Toure.
First out will be Toure.
I think, with the injuries we've had this season, it'll be surprise if there will be a mass exodus of players out this summer.
Balotelli and Bogdan out for sure.
Balotelli and Bogdan out for sure.
Theoretically, I'd listen to offers for the majority of them.
Realistically, it'll be the usual 6 out/6 in that we do most years in the hope that this year's '6 in' are the ones to move us forward, unlike most other years.
There's no way Benteke will go anywhere on the cheap.
Balotelli, a couple of centre mids and a couple of centre backs will be offed.

I think Lallana will stay. I get the feeling Klopp likes him.
What about Boring James Milner?
Apparently on 150k per week. Doesn't have the speed or creative knack to be part of the attacking 3, and for me I'd rather have Lallana in before him. Hasn't really done much at central midfield either. Was expecting more for him. Expensive squad player if he stays around. I can only see him being useful next season in big away games in a Dirk Kuyt kind of role out wide. But Lallana, Henderson and Ings could all do that.

Yeah, I'd say Balotelli, Lucas, Allen, Lovren/Sakho, Toure, Bogdan are faves.
I'm sure we'd listen to (semi) decent offers for others and a couple of wankers will likely rock the boat for moves, like they normally do.

Sad thing is I've looked at the lists and wouldn't be arsed if any of them got the chop.
One things for sure, we'll be paying a portion of his wages into the next decade, because literally no one is picking up that contract this side of Beijing.
Where is Mingolet?!
With 5/6 strikers I think Klopp can afford to keep Sturridge - and he will bar a great offer, a very good replacement and Studge agitating. Ings will get time to prove himself, Origi is a youngster making good strides, Firmino is a very obvious utility player and Balotelli is on his way, that leaves Benteke …. and he'll go if we get an acceptable offer.
At CB we will be over-stocked (Toure, Ilori, Skrtel, Lovren, Sakho, Gomez, Matip and maybe A.N.Other) : Ilori, Skrtel (age) and Toure could all be on their way.
Keepers : Bogdan is gone. Ward has to prove himself and Mignolet may either be gone or dropped to the bench as I can't see how Klopp can fail to sign a new stopper and we keep seeing links to very good keepers.
FBs : we've been looking haven't we ? In which case I think Moreno is in danger.
In midfield it's obvious that both Lucas and Allen are under pressure as I can certainly see reinforcements coming in, Grujic for one of course, and Stewart & Brannagan are on the verge of making them redundant.
Klopp likes our attacking midfield players (Coutinho, Firmino & Lallana), is short on pacey wingers (so Ibe should be safe) and has no real options to Henderson and Milner (though I like Brannagan). Texiera is the one with his head on the block for no fault of his own, we are just well stocked in that dept. Probably Klopp will bring in a better option for Markovic and either leave him out on loan or sell him. Carra's urging us to sign Reus - does he know something we don't ?!

I actually fear for Ibe, I know he is young but he's not pulling up any trees when given the chance. I'll admit that I was one of the many that said he was as good as Sterling when he left, but I don't know, he just hasn't kicked on. Maybe age will be enough to give him the benefit of doubt, but he certainly needs to move
up a couple of gears between now and the end of the season.
