Predicting Liverpool’s 2015-16 squad – Including analysis on six new signings

Full-Backs

Prediction: New Signing 2 (Martin Montoya), Javier Manquillo, Alberto Moreno, Jose Enrique

Who’s Staying: Alberto Moreno is arguably the only established full-back left in the Liverpool squad. We’ll be hoping he continues to improve and make good on his potential next season. Enrique has another year left on his contract and it seems unlikely that he’ll be ditched any sooner than 2016. Manquillo has also struggled this season but has 12 months remaining on his loan deal, so may as well stay put in a back-up role.

Who’s Going: Glen Johnson is out of contract and is believed to be in talks with West Ham United, at least according to the Daily Express. Jon Flanagan is also out of contract but injury will ensure that he misses most of next season regardless of whether he stays.

Who’s Needed: A first-choice right-back would not go amiss but is likely to be low priority. Emre Can has proved that he can play when needed, while Andre Wisdom could also fill in upon his return from West Bromwich Albion. Barcelona’s Martin Montoya has been suggested on multiple occasions, including here by the Daily Mail. The 24-year-old Spaniard is out of favour with the Champions League finalists and could be available on the cheap.
