Tiago Ilori: Fans’ verdict – KEEP – 73% SELL 27%
While the fans in this vote want Ilori to stay, we feel that’s because he currently seems like an exciting, exotic young talent – when in reality – he’s a £7m signing who hasn’t come close to playing a minute of first-team football in two years. If he was good enough, would he not have got a chance by now…?
EOTK verdict: SELL
Javier Manquillo: Fans’ verdict – KEEP 56% SELL 44%
We don’t have to pay any transfer fees to keep Manquillo next season, as he’ll be halfway through his two-year loan come the summer. The Spaniard’s shown glimpses this term, but little else. A decent squad player, with the potential to improve. We’d keep him around, just.
EOTK verdict: KEEP
Jose Enrique: Fans’ verdict – KEEP 21% SELL 79%
Enrique is likely picking up a wage packet that could be far better spent elsewhere. He seems to be continually holidaying, or organising inter-club table-tennis tournaments, and while this may be good for squad morale, he hasn’t offered anything on the pitch for some time.
EOTK verdict: SELL
Jon Flanagan: Fans’ verdict – KEEP 95% SELL 5%
Keeping Flanagan is a no-brainer, providing he makes a full recovery from the incredibly annoying injury which has decimated his entire campaign. He’s scouse, a full England international, versatile, and should be awarded an extension on the contract which expires this summer.
EOTK verdict: KEEP
