Good read, Marko, but I'm concerned about his mobility.

I would agree, but with with Markovic partnering him, and Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho there too, it could be a fantastic bit of business. I think Bony could just have a breakthrough season with us.

He could, but I'm not sure. We've seen players like him suffer from second season syndrome. Benteke, Cisse, the list goes on. I would love to see him sign and do well, but given the choice between Bony for 20 million and Benzema for 40 million, I'd take Benzema every time.

What's to say that Benzema would even be remotely interested in coming to Liverpool though? I mean, Sanchez wasn't. I think we need to qualify for the Champions League for a number of successive seasons before we can even consider attracting players in the £40million bracket.

One thing which could suggest it is that he has turned down an offer of a new contract from Real.

I suppose the only way to find out is to offer him competitive wages and bid for him. Show enough ambition, and players will come. City's shown that. We've got some money right now. What's the harm in trying?

I mean, Arsenal were struggling to land that caliber of player until Ozil. He's been the catalyst there. Offer enough and Real will sell. Word is they want Falcao anyway.

Well, our biggest earner is off the books. Surely we can do better now? Especially after we got Downing, Cole, Aquilani, etc. off of all those silly contracts they were on last year? I mean, other than Gerrard, do we have any other huge earners? Pepe is back, I suppose, but other than that, I can't think of any. We're a CL club again, we should be able to offer CL wages.

We should, but to who? Someone already pointed this out, we're back in the CL for the first time in 5 ? years, we haven't been consistent enough yet to attract the likes of Costa Sanchez Benzema etc..
Its a slow climb back to the top these days.
