So, who's out and who's in for you?
Safe: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Mashcerano, Gerrard, Aquilani, Babel, Torres, Benayoun.
Not safe: Insua, Aurelio, Riera, Kuyt, Lucas, Degen, Ngog, Kyrgiakos.
New: Shweinsteiger, Marcelo, Silva, Villa (depends...)
I'm a people's man - only the people matter.

i would sell mash - he is becoming a liability with his constant gobbing off to the officials and would command a decent fee too
skrtel - not good enough and far too rash goodbye!
babel can go - he may have finally put some effort in but his touch and passing are on a par with kuyt's
i would keep insua as back up - he does need to drop back to back up to spend some time working with the coaches though ..... i would keep lucas too - just give him a lot more freedom than he has been getting
gerrard's future has to be questionable - anything over 25mill i would sell - he has been crap all season and he is getting on

Not sure we need half a new team. The spine is excellent, Reina, Carragher, Agger, Masch, Gerrard, Torres..but it's the same old story as it's been for the past 3/4 years we need more attacking match winners. It's the wide area's we need quality...no more Reira, Pennant, Gonzalez, Zenden signings, it needs to be Silva/Turan signings, that type of quality. It needs tweaking not major surgery. For me Aguerro could kill two birds with one stone. He can play up top or in behind the striker. He's two footed so could come from the flanks as well. Of course money is the stumbling block - when is Broughton going to tell Rafa his summer budget???

I'd be tempted to part ways with Mascherano his passing is appalling.
Ryan babel is a black Dirk Kuyt and with all the will in the world and no matter which postion he plays Babel just isnt good enough.
Aurellio is just to injury prone, we've never had more than half a season out of him since he's been here.
Riera is already a goner.
Degen and the Greek good enough.
The rest I'd keep as squad players.
I'd like to us try and sign Ryan Shawcross, Lee Cattermole and James Milner along with a left back, another winger and a striker.
Possible target for left back could be Joe Mattock a young lad from WBA maybe not be good enough just yet but will be a star in the future.

As I see it, we need:
Keepers - OK there
Defenders - we need a top quality left back, a reserve right back and perhaps a young up and coming centre back (the new Carra).
Midfielders - we need a [oops]-hot left winger and reserve centre midfielder
Striker - we need one bloody good quality reserve for when Torres is out/domestic cup games.
Total - 6 players (that little lot would probably cost £50m). Have we got that £??
I would sell Degen, Aurelio (free), Riera, Kuyt and Ngog for starters - maybe you could get £20-25m for these...
We need to return to our tried and trusted methods before we win number 19

For Portsmouth?
He just seems to dither when it comes to heading the ball doesnt seem to be commanding enough.
I'd like to see him right wing.

johnson started out as a centre half and was crap, that's why he has ended up as a right back ..... except he still hasn't learnt how to defend - defo needs to play further forward

If a new manager does come, he would want to bring in his own entourage. The whole defense except agger probably would go, Lucas and Masch in midfield can go, And we dont have nay frontmen anyways..

I love the way some people point out whats wrong, who needs to go ect but I cant see the same people providing any of their own answers.
