Is it just me or are we really struggling to acquire the top talents. Not even the world beaters but really good players.aspas mignolet etc are decent standard but when was the last player we bought who was already established as a real quality player
Suarez and Torres were good but unproven which turned out well until the end. Like the rvp to utd or nasri to city......
We really struggle to acquire top talent unless they're really young

I would add, we are struggling to buy first team players. According to BR, we only bought squad players (except Mignolet as Reina is gone)

Suarez and Torres were good but unproven? I assume you mean they had not played in the Premier League before because they were both tried and tested players.

Both decent but weren't the players they became at Liverpool

Are we trying THAT hard to sign these players?

IF we were in for Micky, we didn't chase hard enough (ok, he may have chosen Dortmund), Eriksen it seems we haven't bid and Pappa sounds like he's available but we're dilly dallying over the fee.

Not to be pessimistic but have FSG done a number on us by snapping a few cheap players up early, then selling to pay for them? People here seem optimistic but the transfer window, and season, are fast approaching.

I have a bad feeling they're waiting to see if Madrid come in for Suarez, then will just spend most or all of the proceeds and we'll hear 'theres money in January, we tried to sign x,y and z'.

If we signed a couple of decent players now, maybe it would convince Suarez to stay...

To get the top top class players we have to pay City wages and we can't.

Not sure what Spurs are paying, but they're signing decent first teamers. We can't get proven world class players but there's better than squad players available surely.
