The only way is up for Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool, but for that to happen they’re going to need to get rid of a lot of extra weight which means players like Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto possibly leaving after just one season at the club, with the future not looking too incredibly bright for other players who spent last season on loan.

Real Madrid – Iker Casillas Shouldn’t Stay Anymore
It doesn’t seem like Iker Casillas is important these days to Real Madrid and those leading the club, be it the head coach or those that are above him.

Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Doesn’t Need to Make Too Many Changes
From pessimism early on, to fierce optimism later, and a more realistic approach as Liverpool end the 2012-2013 season without a European spot clinched for next season.

Football Club Barcelona have quite a few needs to address during the off-season according to their exit from the Champions League, and goalkeeper might be one of them if Victor Valdes is actually leaving.
