My opinion on the current squad is that we need about 4/5 fresh new signings but need to release, sell or loan out several more...
RELEASE- Brad Jones & Aurelio...
SELL- SPEARING ( 24 now and in my opinion is not good enough, without any real room for further improvement) KUYT ( wonderful servant to us, but starts will be limited and impact of the bench is not as affective as we require when struggling to break down teams with 11 men behind the ball) MAXI (my opinion quality player, with great movemnet and vision, clear not fancied or relied upon) AQUILLANI ( not made impact we all would of hoped for, quality footballer and should of been given extra season) JOE COLE ( for me should be at anfield this season along with aquillani due to ability to open up defences but obvious not in clubs plans)...
Loan Out- Flanagan, Robinson, wilson, Shelvey ( all still young, with much improvement there. would all benefit from a season on loan at top championship club playing week in week out, but with option for recall)...
Buy-
LASSANA DIARRA- £7M-£14M ( proven quality centre midfielder, premiership experiance, dynamic and aggressive, would also ease pressure on LUCAS coming back after a long abscence, replacing spearing position in squad)
CLINT DEMPSEY- £8M- £12M ( proven premiership goalscorer, good in the air, deadly in the box, ability to play uptop, in the hole or out wide, rplace kuyt position in the squad)
IBRAHIM AFELLAY- £4M-£8M ( quick, intelligent, tricky either flank winger or in the hole attacker. ability to unlock defences and attack with pace. replacing maxi position in squad)
JUNIOR HOILLETT- FREE-COMPENSATION ( young english, inteligent, tricky confident winger gets at defence, out of contract compensation needed)
LUUK DE JONG- £7M-£12M ( young 21yr old 6FT2 forward, ideal for 3rd striker with squad rotation. quick in the box forward)
Also if available to be considered- Victor Moses, Adam Johnson ect
SQUAD
GK= Reina, Doni, Gulasci
DEF= Johnson, Kelly, Enrique, Agger, Skrtle, Coates, Carragher
MID= Lucas, Diarra, Adam, Henderson, Downing, Hoillett, Afellay, Gerrard, Bellamy, Dempsey
FWD= Suarez, Carroll, DeJong
YOUNGSTERS= Flanagan, Robinson, Shelvey, Wilson, Sterling, Suso, Coady, morgan i like your selections only 2 things i would change and its you didnt make reference to charlie adam i would get rid of him and get granero or get granero instead of dempsey. Also you still havent solve one of our major issues plaguing us all season and thats a clinical finisher, i would love luke in the squad but you think hes going to take on the finishing role, i say get saldado as the finisher we need. you made reference to diara as DM would be a good buy but when you look at the option of getting him or javi martinez from bilboa i would pick javi, he plays holding midfield passes well aerial threat and also he can play centerback when requested, he would cost more but hes younger and variation in positioning options isnt limited to just defensive midfield.

I disagree. We don't need him for anything but DM. Not worth the extra money. Dempsey is a good finisher, and a proven and consistent goal scorer.
I think that striker rotation (with the implementation of Dempsey who plays well at striker for the US if necessary) will be fine. Carroll is hitting form, and if he and Suarez get the proper midfield support they will score plenty of goals. De Jong can be our quick fox in the box when need be.
I do wonder if Aqua and Cole deserve a chance, since most agree that we could have used them this year.

I would definitely give aqualani another (proper) chance.
It's gotta be better than selling him for a ridiculously low amount or loaning him out again. If we're gonna pay him,
he might as well be at our club.
I think the joe cole boat has sailed but there's been times this season when i've wished he was on our bench.

we should sell joe cole and aqualani and save those wages.
I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom

Yeah maybe. I do rate aqualani though and we should be in the market for that kind of player. I'm just worried given our recent history that we may spend a fortune on someone who is no better or indeed not as good as aqua.

I agree I realy like rate and admire the like's of javi martinez and soldado but, with all the story's doing the rounds that a budget of only £20m/ £25m plus player sale's being available I think the options I have looked into at much cheaper cost's could strenghten our case for a top 4 position next season. I honestly don't see a huge name like martinez or soldado being targated this season don't think the finance's will be there this year.

YOUNGSTERS= Flanagan, Robinson, Shelvey, Wilson, Sterling, Suso, Coady, morgan Good post. Agree with pretty much all of that. All of your suggestions of players to sell/loan out/(attempt to) buy would be very similar to my own ideas. The transfer targets you've mentioned are reasonably sensible and realistic ones too.
