We have good players here and there will be a fresh voice in Iraola, plus we should be able to bolster the squad (even if it's considerably less financial might than last Summer) with us having Champion's League football.
If anyone genuinely wants out, then off they go - Europe is brimming with talented athletes who would want the chance to make it here.
I think it will be more like Benitez-time than Klopp-time for a season or two (Champion's League finishes, reasonable European runs, but maybe no silverware) but I don't see a return to the 09/10 to 15/16 period which was largely lifeless apart from a mad title run in 13/14 and that League Cup win over Cardiff in 11/12 with the following line-up -
P Reina
G Johnson
M Skrtel
D Agger
J Enrique
J Henderson
S Gerrard (c)
C Adam
S Downing
L Suárez
A Carroll
Substitutes
A Doni
M Rodriguez
D Kuyt
J Spearing
J Carragher
M Kelly
Bellamy
We're a bit imbalanced just now and need work in a couple of areas, but the squad isn't complete pish.
Better coaching can hopefully see us cut the 53 League goals conceded down to 40-45 conceded and an addition or two can hopefully see the 63 League goals scored creep up to 70-75 scored - this should be a decent building block and we can go from there.
