Rickie Lambert: Fans’ verdict –KEEP 32% SELL 68%
Lambert’s journey from non-league football to his boyhood club is a brilliant one, but it should end this summer. His complete lack of pace and uninspiring movement mean he doesn’t fit into Brendan Rodgers’ footballing philosophy. Under a different manager, he could be more effective – but at 33-years-old, he isn’t a long-term option.

Mario Balotelli: Fans’ verdict – KEEP 45% SELL 55%
It appears that almost half of the fans in the vote are hanging on to the possibility that Balotelli will eventually fulfil his mind-boggling talent at Anfield in a romantic footballing recovery, but all the signs sadly suggest otherwise. The Italian is not a bad guy, and is often given a hard time by the press – but like Lambert, he doesn’t suit the way we attack – and his ill-discipline and selfish attitude are not conducive to a strong team ethic.
