Selling Sakho would be ridiculous.
Lucas leaving surely means a DM has to come in....

Yeah I'll kick off if he does.
What does that make Lovren and Skrtel then?
He's definitely better than Lovren, and I know I'm in the minority probably here, but I think he's better than Skrtel. He certainly has the potential to play at a higher standard than Skrtel has played for us.

I'm guessing when Sakho was told by the chancer that he'd be behind Lovren in the pecking order he was so shocked and angry that he called him a slimy midget fuckwit or some such and now has to suffer banishment as a result.
Neither of them would be any real loss. Both seem like good guys but neither of them are good enough. In saying that, I'd like to think we have replacements lined up for both of them but I doubt we have.
EDIT: I'm firmly in the Lovren is shit camp. But Sakho is average and injury prone, so he may as well be shit.

It's strange though that Roma would approach us to loan Sakho - I suspect they've perhaps sounded out his agent to see what he thinks about a change of scenery and received a positive response before talking to the club about it. I suppose every club does that, and in this case, perhaps Rodgers hasn't been impressed by Sakho's response to being second fiddle to Lovren.
Doesn't Ilori play on the left of a centre back pairing?
Having Ilori and Toure as our back up CBs arent they way forward this season imho.
We cant sell Sakho.
Lucas will probably go. Rodgers hasnt bought an out and out DM in his time here so the chances are small that he'll do that now.
Signing Illaramendi would be a great start mind.

Might be my memory playing tricks on me, but I think he played on the right for the Portuguese U21s in the recent tournament, and also in some games at Bordeaux last season as well.
Think he played left for Portugal but right for Bordeaux and Granada.
So he can do either.

BREAKING NEWS: TOFFEES REJECT NEW STONES BID Sky Sports understand that Chelsea have made a third bid for Everton's central defender John Stones - and that the offer, this time of £30m, has been rejected by the Toffees. Throughout the saga Everton have remained tight-lipped, only to say that Stones was not for sale at any price.
Oh yes you're right; just saw some clips - he played on the left at least in their games against England, Sweden and Italy.
Because they serve their master in Manchester perhaps.
The Mancs themselves could do with him, if it comes to that.
[article=http://www.wba.co.uk/news/article/wba-albion-saido-berahino-tottenham-hotspur-2629078.aspx#pIz8mJ5mC1lcj8cd.99]WEST Bromwich Albion have today rejected an offer for Saido Berahino from Tottenham Hotspur.
Chairman Jeremy Peace commented: “We have no interest in selling Saido which is what I have told Daniel Levy.
“I know we are living in an age where no club can say ‘never’ about the possibility of selling a player.
“However, the prospect of selling Saido is simply not on our agenda.
“We are going forward with Saido very much in our plans and still striving to add players to improve the balance of our squad.”[/article]

Replacement for Illaramendi?
They've already got 4 other forwards - Rondon, Lambert added this summer to last season's (failed) acquisition Ideye and Anichebe. Assuming they cut their losses on Ideye, that still leaves them with 3 guys + Berahino. Given that they don't have Europe, and don't have domestic cup ambitions, that still seems one more than they would need. Not surprising that Spurs are the ones going for him, and it'll probably close at a few million more for Pulis to add more boring players to a boring team.
