[A THREAD]

1. I saw this on the TL earlier in the week (forgot who made the graphic below). It shows the age of the players come July 1st 2021, plus their current contract length at the club.

Ox is missing but he’ll be 27 with a contract expiry of June, 2023.
2. All data is off from @TMuk_news, so the source is accurate & reliable - however not sure if these contracts include for clauses such as option to extend by a year etc.

There’s some interesting factors come this summer which the club will have to address...
3. Many of our key players have contracts which only have 2 years remaining come June 30th 2021. At this stage it’s vital to renew these deals or think about moving on. Players market value drops significantly as they get closer to 1 year left on deal + risk of losing for FREE.
4. The picture shows that the following have 2 years left come summer 2021:

• Van Dijk
• Fabinho
• Henderson
• Keïta
• Shaqiri
• Oxlade-Chamberlain
• Manè
• Salah
• Firmino

Names highlighted in yellow are players who have been key to our success.
5. We need to make some changes in the next transfer window, but renewing these deals are just as important.

9 players will have 2 years left and the majority of our world class players are included in this.

It’ll be interesting to see what the club does regarding this.
6. Players like Keïta & Ox haven’t done enough to be rewarded with a new deals (IMO), so the summer would be the best opportunity to move these two on for fairly good fees.

Shaqiri is close to leaving every window, so i think he will depart too.

Milner has 1 yr left come July
7. Van Dijk & Fabinho are at their peak of their powers and NEED to be resigned ASAP. Henderson will sign no worries.

Then comes the front three in Manè, Salah, Firmino. As a trio they seem to be winding down and all will be 29 years old.
8. Firmino is a club legend to me but comes a time when you have to think whether he deserves a new deal?

I’d personally resign both Manè & Salah but if the club were to sell one & replace it’d definitely be this summer.
9. Based upon all of these contract lengths, this summer is definitely the beginning of a rebuild and FSG have to reinvest in the team & overall squad.

I’ve seen Pearce/Joyce come out and say the club is in no rush to hand out new deals, why? Can’t let deals run to 1 year. #LFC
