With the 5 subs rule coming in for next season I believe it should change our stance on Origi. The weekend game v Everton showed us he can make a difference being pivotal in Robbo's equalizer and scoring the 2nd goal. He has done this before quite a few times where we've needed something different to break down stubborn defences.
His loyalty to us has been outstanding, he could have left a long time ago to get consistent gametime, however he has stayed loyal and in moments where we've called on him as a sub he has delivered in some of the most important games.
He offers us an outlet for holding the ball up where our usual attacking players don't. He is strong as an ox and for all his failings he is quite technically gifted scoring some great goals.
I would offer him a contract extension, he has only just turned 27! so he still has the legs to make a difference when we need him.
If it was a choice between Minamino and Origi to whom we moved on I would move Minamino on because I don't think he has the strength or game changing ability that Origi has.
Thoughts?

Origi needs to leave and play regularly for another club, he has been great for us and scored some very important goals, but he will never be a first team starter for us. He is at his peak years now, so needs to play regular football at a team he can start/challenge at, he is 6th choice for us now with Diaz arrival, some games he has not even got on the bench.
I thought he had agreed a deal with Milan? I can see him doing well in Italy with his pace and power, I am still surprised a team like Norwich or Watford never came in for him, he could have helped keep them up.
Wherever he ends up, good luck to him, he has been a great servant for us and paid his part in helping us win allot of trophies and created allot of great memories.

Thoughts? Origi wants to leave to get game time he cannot get at LFC, that's the fact

5 sub rule changes things...Origi has had many chances to leave previously however he has chosen to take the few opportunities given to him and more often than not makes a difference when we have needed him to.
He never rocks the boat and is loved by the fans and will find it hard going somewhere else to play at a lower level and not receiving the plaudits or chance at the most illustrious prizes, like he does now.
I'd offer him another couple of years contract extension voicing that he's likely to get more gametime because of the 5 subs rule.
Both Inter & AC Milan get brought up what seems almost every year as a likely destination for him to go but it never materializes.
Out of the current batch of attacking players we have there is nobody like Origi, he does bring something different that can upset defences.

When he extended his contract with us last time, there were no Jota and Diaz, plus, this season I don't remember him starting any game, maybe in some cup games earlier, even as a sub he came on only a couple of times. At his age he will wish to play regularly, so can't see him staying

I would extend his contract if he wants to stay.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

I'd love him to stay, offers something a little bit different in an out n out target man. Klopp also says he's the best finisher in the squad !

If you look at the squad we only need to add to our midfield to give us some cover and I would try and make it Henderson's long term replacement because his legs are going.
I'd bring Neco back from Fulham as cover for TAA.
Sell Ox who has a year remaining on his contract.
Sell Minamino because he just hasn't adapted to PL and I rate Origi better, we also have Carvalho from Fulham coming in.
Goalkeepers:
Alisson, Kelleher, Adrian
Defenders:
VVD, Matip, Konate, Gomez
TAA, Neco Williams
Robbo, Tsimikas
Midfield:
Henderson, Fab, Thiago, Keita, Jones, Elliott
Attack:
Salah, Mane, Jota, Bobby, Diaz, Origi, Carvalho
That should be the squad we are mostly using next season with maybe Henderson's long term replacement - somebody like Declan Rice or Jude Bellingham.
