Including player's further back they've sold
Clyne, Lovren, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Oxlade-Chambelaine, Bale, Walcott
And if you pretend they could still sign the players they've signed more recently without the proceeds of the player they've sold, they could combine the players above with the likes of Wanyama, Mane, van Dijk, Forster, Bertrand.
That would be a very good set of players. Ok Bale is top drawer. Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain haven't progressed as we all thought they would, their progress has somewhat stalled at Arsenal which is why they rarely started for them over the last 6 months of the season. However Southampton wouldn't have been able to spend money on players like Wanyama, Mane, Van Dijk and Forster without selling players to raise funds first. It's like saying imagine where Liverpool we have been if we had never sold Alonso, Mascherano, Torres, Suarez and so on.

Mane has always looked good playing against us (when I have mainly seen him, but so did Benteke!!!!), but I would be concerned over his temperament, he's fast and powerful with an eye for a goal and would give that bit of unpredictability, we have missed that pace up front since Sterling left and Sturridge hasn't been playing much, Firminho/Coutinho/Lallana do not have that burst of pace to get through/stretch a defence, they are more about creative passing, so he would add something we are missing.

We do desperately need to add some genuine pace to our midfield, it would give another dimension to our attack.

But they aren't good enough - at least not yet.

We do desperately need to add some genuine pace to our midfield, it would give another dimension to our attack. ojo and markovic have pace Markovic never struck me as pacey, but Rodgers kept moving him into different positions and dropping him, so hard to make a judgement either way, as he is coming back now hopefully Klopp will give him a chance so we can see if he fits in, doesn't look like he did great in Turkey, but he did had quite a few injuries and missed the last 3 months. Ojo looks promising but hasn't played much, so needs more time, he is young and raw. The only other winger we have is Ibe, who is very in and out (like most wingers are) with rumours of him being sold, I hope we do not sell him as I think he has potential (at least have a buy back clause). So I think Mane would fit in, we certainly need more wingers, none of the above at this point would I class as guaranteed first teamers.
