Its going to be one of those tough windows. We'd like to think we could turn out some under-performing or ill-quality players for some quality and seems easy on paper but so often it won't happen like that.
Spearing could leave for a couple of million. Diame could come in for £4m. Diame would likely be on higher wages too.
Skrtel could leave for £12m and release some of his wages for Diame's deal. Alderweireld could come in for close to £10m, and would likely make up the rest of Skrtels wages.
We could sell Carroll to West Ham for £10m, and bring in Remy for the same fee. Remy may come in for marginally less wages that his counterpart. OR we could sign Honda for a smaller fee this summer (his deal runs out in December) on not too dissimilar wages too. My preference, would be a cheeky bid for Benteke if they indeed go down instead of Wigan.
I still think we could sell Reina £20m to Barca, and bring in Vorm and Begovic as replacements at £8m and £12m. And likely, these wages would make up Reina's £100k a week or so.
That would still leave the club with all the money given to BR in the summer, and no higher wages than currently on the books, with a left-back and a centre-half still on the agenda.
As much as I suggest all this, the likelihood is that we won't see anywhere near this much activity, or any of the names mentioned, but its food for thought for Rodgers that he could make a real stand against those players under-performing, and really make an impact on the squad this summer. In the hope that he will, I am excited for it.
