We also have Grujic back, but sounds like he may go out on loan again.

Was worried about our no number 10 situation, but realistically we don't need one. Played our best footy last season without Coutinho and the two teams we can make out of the squad are pretty darn good with plenty of pace and creativity. Think Keita will bring that added creativity as well.

Keita was the first choice replacement for Coutinho, this is why we were ready to pay more to get him in Jan. Coutinho was being moved in the middle though his best position was on the left wing. If Mane reaches his level 2 seasons back he will be as good as Coutinho there.

Otherwise, regarding your list, don't think Grujic will stay, if he doesn't go on loan he will probably be sold and Milner will be the back up.

My worry is no proper cover for Firmino and no top free kick taker, maybe Shaqiri as he has scored a few.

That sounds about right Vish.

I'd just like to add that Mané was playing on the right hand side when he was on fire. Salah holds that position now, so maybe that switch of position holds Mané back somewhat. Will be interesting to see if he can return to the top form from 2016-2017.

The problem with a free kick taker is that I doubt Shaqiri will be in the starting XI many times. That means we will only have a taker from minute 60 or so. Not good enough!

Also as you say: No proper cover for Firmino as it seems.
