Talking about higiuan!!! I can't see it happening ever.
Or any big name striker. I just don't think we can attract the big name players anymore eds. Look at sanchez last yr. Did we not bid more than arsenal?. He chose them. I'm not in the know on the mikataryan, Salah etc deals but was this the same. They didn't see us as attractive as dortmund or chelsea. Who are champions league regulars,well up till last season for dortmund. to see the likes of benzema, cavani, higiuan, diago costa,etc coming to us if available is just hard to see. i'm a Liverpool fan all my life and love this club to bits but the likes of benteke is where we are at.

I see your point mate but what about Firmino? one of Brazil's best players has just signed for us despite lots of reported interest from around the globe.

I think a lot of players will see beyond one bad season. There will always be those who find other places more attractive but this is the same for any club, you just have to choose your targets wisely.

Very true mate on firmino but I'm just worried it is another player who clearly has potential but still raw an Unproven . Aka markovic, .I know Rodgers is to blame on not giving game time to markovic so will he do the same with firmino. my point is when I have the likes of benzema, cavani, higiuan in your team u no they are well established proven world class strikers who has been there done that and I think when it comes to a player like that we are finding it hard to get them. I fear we are turning into a team that will bring in the young talent and if they become a success sell them on.

I think there's no reason Liverpool can't attract top players with a top coach and paying the competitive wages, but obviously we need to build. I like the young side we have now and with a few years together under a top coach I think 2-3 years time will be really competitive (Clyne, Illori, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Hendo, Coutinho, Ibe, Firmino etc. ), I just wish we'd gotten in a coach we all felt could be the future as much as the players.

In fairness to the Sanchez deal quoted, the story I recall was not that Sanchez turned down LFC for Arsenal, more that Sanchez's girlfriend told him London over Liverpool.

Looking at Man Utd last year, Man City's rise to power it appears to be a "pay them and they will come". Now to pay them, we need to comply with FFP etc.

Liverpool can compete, but history does not appear to be work for people of today who have grown up watching Man Utd and more recently Chelsea dominate the last 25 years (with a splash of the gunners). Need to spend more to attract more proven / more marketable stars.

Don't think I would want benzema, cavani, higiuan, diago costa,

Although you didn't say this but its Quite amusing so many people saying oh bent eke doesn't fit our style yet if one of these signed they would be over the moon, Benzema, Higuain and specially Cavan are really lazy strikers come in and out of games all the time - Yes they score but we do like to press high and trust me these players would not give you that
