How many luis suarez are out there?
Winning the cups is pointless if your league campaign is terrible.Look at what happened to portsmouth and birmingham.The former won the fa cup and went into administration while the latter got relegated last year.
How much 'progress' was that? The cups are only a bonus.You cannot claim success if your league season is a failure especially at liverpool
A few of the players you mentioned above didn't leave because they didn't get proper offers from other club.
No club wants aurelio as his injury history is very well documented while arsenal didn't want to put in a higher bid for reina in the summer of 2010.Agger,carragher and gerrard are the highest earners in the club.
Can you be honest and say that torres would have come if we weren't in CL in 2007?
No matter how much you like to believe about ''playing for the red shirt'' and ''proud to wear the liver bird on my chest'' this things are only given importance by us,the fans.It sounds very pessimistic but the truth is often hard to swallow.
Personally we 'got' (agree) Suarez to come, as he had a slight 'baggage reputation' on his shoulders. A lot of people questioned his temperament (allege biting) and some hated his passion for denying a sure goal with his hands in the WC tournament. Heck I think a lot of Lfc fans too weren't sure he's the right one after what we read online. Maybe other (top) teams too weren't too sure of getting him hence we came off the better candidate for suarez then.

We are lucky Suarez turn out quite good for us actually, likewise if it had gone sour, some might say another 'tavez' issue in Liverpool. (actually I didn't mind if we had tried for Tavez too, what can be so wrong of getting "problematic" players? Bellamy here, now Suarez,...
I don't know if Torres would have come in 2007 if not for CL but I'm pretty sure he did want to succeed in any club he joins, too bad he didnt win any when he was with us, but I don't think he regret coming here as much as he would regret ending a football carreer not winning trophies. Who would have guessed back then when he opted out, someone is in 2 finals too, a FA cup & a champion league final. At least he has a shot of the highest level in club football. Who would have guessed? I know we too are in 2 finals this year but come on, if you know you have, and know you are a good footballer, how long can your career span if you don't take opportunities along the way. I can't really fault torres nor mereiles given the situation we (lfc) were in.
