offer these players big wages, if they do not come, then at least LFC tried to sign quality players.

I would love it if Shiqiri and De Rossi both signed, however unlikely it is. We live in hope.

People need to realize that it's not as simple as buying the best players. De Rossi, aside from being targeted by both Manchester clubs, would cost north of £20 million demand wages of around £150,000 per week. I don't think you need to spend that much to get a player who can do a similar job. And in any event, he's a ball-winning midfielder/central defender. Our problem isn't stopping goals, it's creating them. Hummels is very loyal to Dortmund, who gave him a chance after Bayern tossed him in the scrap heap. He's a great player, but not really a massive improvement over Agger and not really what we need. Shaqiri is somewhat realistic, but you can be sure that, after his performance against United in the CL, every big club in Europe is tracking him at the moment. We'd face the same competition that we would for Hazard.
The three players you mentioned are among the hottest properties in Europe at the moment. Let's be perfectly honest - we can't compete with the Manchesters or Chelsea in terms of wages or trophies at the moment, which means that the real quality will choose them over us every time. We're competing with Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle - teams like that. Our best bet is to sign from one of three categories:
1. Young talent - Griezmann, Shaqiri, Lewandowski, Draxler, Feghouli, Boudebouz, Wijnaldum
2. Quality players who are under-valued for whatever reason (usually playing in a second-rate league) - Luuk de Jong, Dries Mertens, Moussa Sow
3. That "second-tier" of good but not quite world class players - Moutinho, Llorente, Cavani/Lavezzi, Huntelaar, Jovetic, Giovinco. And even some of those are pretty optimistic.

I think Cavani/Lavezzi are unrealistic targets.

I think Cavani/Lavezzi are unrealistic targets. You're probably right. I'm half-hoping that Suarez can use some Uruguayan mojo that he used on Coates (who I really like), but I was really just throwing out whatever names came to mind.

I think the French and Dutch leagues are gold mines at the moment though. There's serious value to be had there if you know where to look. For Moussa Sow and Luuk de Jong read Cabaye and Tiote.

de rossi can be signed for 5m, last 6 months of his contract left.
even if saurez got cavani to come to us, LFC have not got the 30m plus to sign him.
