Agger/sakho/skrtel/toure/lovren/coates amd ilori is a bit much. Id say ilori will be loaned and coates the same or possible sold. Agger could be sold too perhaps.

Lucas, Reina, Borini, Kelly and I'll go with Skrtel (out over Agger) and Johnson fingers crossed. I can see use bring in about £45/50m in sales. So if the Luis money hasn't been touched yet we could still have close to £120m left in the transfer kitty.

Agent Coulson wrote: » Lovren, Toure and Ilori as right sideed CB's Sakho and Agger as left sided CB's Skrtel would get a bigger transfer price right now over Agger. Skrtel's goals last seaon also covered up alot of mistakes. No other reason than that really.
Tony Barrett @TonyBarretTimes 2m As reported in Sportske Novosti, Dejan Lovren's £20m move from Southampton to Liverpool is expected to be completed in the coming days. Reply

rob316 wrote: » Skrtels problem last season was his lack of a decent defensive partner. You would move on our best cb over a poorer player because his transfer value is higher? I don't know much about lovren but I hope he is the leader at the back we need. Skrtel is quite a good defender but a voice and organiser he is not, that's where carragher excelled.
Washington Irving wrote: » I'd have Lovren starting at RCB alongside Sakho. I just meant Lovren is as comfortable playing on the left side despite being right footed in reply to your comment that 3 right footed CBs might be too much, I don't think that would be a problem at all.
