Re the goalkeeper's position, according to my data Fasan is out of contract at the end of this season. Bailly, DeVries AND Gordon are all out of contract at the end of the next season. So is BR assessing who we've got to either cherrypick who's there and keep the best one and bring in a couple of others? Or will there be a clearout and new ones brought in?

I don't know, but I expect Brendan Rodgers to do the right thing.

Not sure buying Devries was the right thing, there was one or two at the euros, that might have been a better option, this sweeper keeper thingy sounds abit like a jack of all trades and master of none.

I think you are all missing a very concerning point. With Toure out of contract at the end of the season and a number of players out of contract in the next two years. There maybe a plan from BR to leave at the end of next season to move on after two years with his reputation enhanced a number of trophys in his cabinet. If he does well in Europe he may get a big job in the EPL with a much greater budget.

Players out of contract over the next two seasons:
2017
Brandon Payne
Kolo Toure
Connor McManus
Josh Kerr
Efe Ambrose
Emilio Izaguirre
Eoghan O'Connell
Kris Commons
Leo Fasan
2018
Dorus de Vries
Craig Gordon
Logan Bailly
Liam Henderson
Mikael Lustig
Sctt Brown
Stuart Armstrong
Don't think there're many in that lot which would give BR sleepless nights if they leave

Let's get this season and all it offers before we start to speculate on who will stay or go. What's happening this season is well beyond my expectations and the value for money watching this BR team and last year is well worth it. Go with the flow Bhoys and Ghirls.

Jonace
lets just be happy that (a) he is here (b) he is building ( c) he is giving us a product to be proud of
he won't be here forever
he isn't cynically plotting an exit at our expense
we are always in a state of flux. let's soak it up…two domestic defeats and we'll be chasing him away to swansea!

Your right stengo i think there's actually a couple he will be desperate to get rid off, efe and commons probs on his hit list.

Hopefully new keepers. Fasan needs a season on loan.

I am not sure he will be desperate to get rid of Ambrose . He won't play Ambrose again but I don't think Ambrose will create any problems for him or the squad . Commons on the other hand could turn the nasty face at any time . Maybe Clifti too, troublemakers need to be moved as quickly as possible.
