I don't think it'll be that simple
What if neither fit in, or are slow starters? Stranger things have happened. What of Sterling and Skrtel? We may need to replace both, though there's Ibe who looks promising. We need more cover at right back, maybe left back too since Johnson seemed to play there a fair bit too. Wouldn't hurt to bring more dimension to the midfield. There's a lot of dead wood to shift. Personally I think it's a huge job so I'm surprised others think we're close.
After three years at it, I think we should be producing much more with Brendan's squad.
What I don't understand is how and when the transfer committee came into play. Was it this year? Or has it always been there for Rodgers? What happens if BR doesn't want a player? Take Mario as the most obvious example. Say the committee overruled Brendan and signed him but BR was under no obligations in Balo's use in the squad, come the end of the season who decides whether he's sold or not? And will we see a constant stream of players some wanted by the manager, some not, coming through the gates one season and out the gates the next season if they don't work out? It baffles me. I wonder if the manager wants Ings and Milner or if he just lost the vote.

He's had to sell his best players. Lets face it if that is our position with 6 games to play next season and Klopp is our manager the WHINGING COMMITTEE that want him now will want him sacked !!!!!

This time last year yakka he told pearce he has the first and last say on transfers and recently he said he was confident that the club would continue to secure top talents under ayre.
If he doesn't have that control then he needs to come out and say it before we start buying more fodder. I for one would have more respect for him if he did rather than spread confusion like he does.
His head is on the line more than ever now and if he is worth his salt he won't be repeating the same mistakes he has been doing over the last 3 years. If we do then its quite clear its been him all along.
My bet is though that it will be more of the same.

Eds, they're not being idiotic, you're willing them to spent Abramovich or Sheikh Mansour hundreds of millions which they have already stated they don't have. And there are no equally crazy sugar daddies lining up to throw fantasy millions to buy a FIFA 15 team for you.
Yes - the money has been spent badly, no one disputes that however, they will not be drawn into over paying players, rememnber when the took over, UEFA and the FA were looking at a salary cap as part of Fair Play etc.. That didn't come about, however it didn't change the owners policy.
I know folks hate the owners, but this blind apathy towards them is because we're desperate to have endless millions that just aren't there.
If BR doesn't cut it next season - he's out and NO ONE will disagree with that. But if Klopp came in tomorrow, he still wouldn't have the Chelsea or City mega budget that people want - transfer pot or salary levels to attract the top dogs. FSG won't get drawn into a salary war with Chelsea/City. Stevie says no more 'potential', we need top players. He's right! But who's going to pay for it?!
Take the yanks out and who would the new owners be to throw millions a us? Some group fronted by Tony Adams?....
+ I repeat just in case you missed, it, Abramovich's free (non-repayable) transfer/salary money loans passed the 1 BILLION mark earlier this week. We're not in that league mate. Mourinho should be shot if he doesn't win the league and CL every year.....
