You’d hope 1 or 2 of Quansah, Elliott and Bradley have a chance of still being at club in 5 years time. Selecting any of the other young players (Bajcetic, Clark, Danns, Doak etc) to be here in 5 years would be a massive punt of a guess. The likelihood at this point is that if 1 of them is here in 5 years then it’ll be a result.


From 2019/20, there about 11 players who are still part of the squad currently (including 3 GKs). That feels like the absolute maximum you’d expect to see over a 5 year period. City and Arsenal have about 7 or 8 players from 2019/20 still in their current squads - though a number of those players aren’t key players (e.g. Elneny).


I think the smart choices would be Trent, MacAllister, Elliott, Jones and Bradley/Quansah but I’ve have literally no confidence in that prediction.
I think Jookie might just be the best fisherman on this thread.

I'd go with Bradley, Harvey and Jones.
Can't see any of the others being here in five years.

Missed 2019/20



Comparing against the end of the 14/15 season, the first team players who made it to the end of 19/20 were Henderson, Lallana and Lovren - with only Henderson still there by the start of the 20/21 season.
Origi and Ojo both technically made it the 5 years - neither had actually played for LFC by the end of 14/15, but they were mentioned in this thread.

They have life in them, they have humour, they're arrogant, they're cocky and they're proud. And that's what I want my team to be.

In the immediate term I think the starters for next season are:

Becker (I hope)
Trent
Mcallister
Diaz
Jota


I don't think any other place is certain. Obviously Jota's injury records is a concern though.

Got to think Salah will move on so we need to replace him, buy a reliable back up for Jota and we still probably need another forward unless you're assuming Gakpo and Nunez step up their game consistently.

Midfield is a big worry for me.
