Here we go again. 25 mil for a Brit, who had an uninspired performance at the WC finals.

Guys, please loan our Bertrand... felt sorry for  him didnt get game time....moses also didnt mind for a 2nd loan

schurrle is kinda decent as a wide player...but he has outstanding ability in his poaching skill...always pop out somewhere crucial to score a goal...his finishing also quite good...kinda like sturridge when he was at chelsea...excellent as 2nd striker/shadow striker behind the targetmen...

you guys dont need him you already have sturridge,,, 

poor borini if he knew he not reliable at all

More likely to be more Spurs than Atletico. Sounds pessimistic but my reasoning is this, Falcao is a finisher and Suarez is not. Sell Sturridge the finisher and we will survive, can't say the same about Suarez unless we can find a replacement just as good only that there isn't any.

hes a forward, thought to be self-centered from start.
but always? he had 8 assists last season.

Suarez leaving was expected, yes. We will have lots of money to reinvest, yes. But I can't really think of anyone out there who can or at least have the potential to give us what Suarez gives us. When Torres left we managed to get Suarez in to pick us up but who is next?

There's no doubt Saurez leaving will affect us in some ways but we have to believe that BR will be able to sort it out. I take solace in the fact that BR has been able to reinvent his team on the fly. He's been able to coach his team to adapt to various formations for various situations - this will be key for us this season. Suarez departure for me is a bit like losing Alonso - losing the brain of the team. But unlike Rafa's last season, BR is not as stubborn and FSG will allow him to reinvest the funds from selling Suarez.

I know some feel we may falter like Spurs and i can understand the fear. It's a big shoe to fill but again, i feel we are in much better shape than Spurs were when Bale left them. They did not have a Sturridge or a rising star like Sterling, or a choo choo train Hendo, or a magician in Coutinho. They had to buy all these players with Bale's money and most of them couldn't gel in time. I don't think we will suffer the same fate seeing the core of the team will remain largely intact. The risks are there but i think it's manageable. And we yet to see who we are replacing Suarez with.

so, u think this is the end of liverpool after he leave??

Yes, it is a big loss for Liv that if Suarez leave, but there is nothing much the club can do, if the player wish to leave.
After all, at least Suarez did accomplish a mission for the club that Liv now back to CL.
Both party said thank you and move on.

You haven't mentioned the Scums.......mid table on transition....

Lambert, Lallana, now Lovren?

All with "L" and all from Saints......,

Yea but has anyone doubted Adam Lallana quality tho? last year everyone was like LALAMAN should join in! you got your man now..

Liverpool would have been better squad if not using all the money on Carrol + Downing + Charlie Adam..

Thank you, Marlick. Took the words right from my mouth. Just to add on (so that fanboys will not go into RAGE mode) iIt will be unfair to ignore the contributions from other players like Sturridge, Sterling, Henderson and Skrtel n Gerrard.

I'll phrase it this way, Suarez' form galvanized the entire team, no denying this.  We were like scraping 1-0 wins wih the Jeckyll and Hyde performance during his suspension..remember?

A bit worried to see how we will cope without our Talismanic striker and the hectic schedule that CL brings in, getting 2nd is a great achievement indeed.....

But to maintain the form and continuity next season and to build from that success, to me, that's when the REAL TEST begins for BR.

Seems like no more Liverpool player in WC after this... Mignolet the next to leave

Higuian anyone? Or Martinez?

Buying players is not like going supermarket and grab anything we fancy. Seller needs to sell and players have their terms or preference too.

What's important is the players we brought in subscribe to our plaing philosophy and create a balanced team.

Big players failed too; look at Veron, Morientes, Sheva etc. No guarantee big names will shine. Let's have faith in our players. Play with heart and soul and we will march on.

Would you have paid 24mil for untested, unproven Suarez or 50mil for Torres ?

Didn't Spurs spend the money on the likes of Paulinho, Eriksen etc?  They might not be world class but they are certainly not mediocre.
