Buying a player for 25m is not bargain basement shopping and this was done before any potential sale of Suarez It seems to be going that way in the Prem Vish,or at least for us when we go shopping.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

In todays market 25m should buy a you good player (if your scouts are any use) but won’t buy you a proven great player. If your scouts are very good, 25m can buy you a good player, that has the potential to be a great player, but as we all know potential has a tendency, with some exceptions, to waste its sweetness on the rarefied air of the PL! What has been pretty well proven at Anfield with the silly policy, is that 10m'ish prospects is, with the odd exception, a waste of money, time and effort. Of course signing academy youngsters, is a separate issue.

Lets take a look at the players brought in within the 10-15 mil price range.
Aspas - waste of money
Migs - solid
Allen - Good backup
Coutinho - first team material
Sturridge - first team material
Borini - good backup, will get our money back
Lambert - great buy imo
Illori- bought for the future
Alberto - bought for the future
So how exactly has it been proven that buying in that price range is a waste of money.
Lets instead look at the following
LAMELA - 25 MIL WASTE OF MONEY
SOLDADO - 25 MIL WASTE OF MONEY
OSvaldo - 20 mil waste of money
ERIKSEN - 12 MIL TOP BUY
Fellaini - 28 mil waste of money
CARROLL - 35 MIL waste of money
The list goes on and on...
A players pricetag is not the only or the most effective indicator of his true ability or contribution to the team.

I'm sure only 3 of them cost over 10 million

Lets take a look at the players brought in within the 10-15 mil price range.
Aspas - waste of money - Time and effort, and he’s only one
Migs - solid - But not solid enough, mid table keeper, not good enough for Liverpool
Allen - Good backup, - not suitable for CL or even regular PL first team use
Coutinho - first team material - Agreed
Sturridge - first team material - agreed
Borini - good backup, will get our money back - Not good enough for Liverpool, and even if we get our money back it was still a waste of time, money and effort.
Lambert - great buy imo - Has always been a mid table player and hasn’t kicked a ball for us yet, so who knows?
Illori- bought for the future, - Ha, ha, it’s in the present we need players, wouldn’t want to climb Everest with you...buying the ropes for the future and ignoring the present!
Alberto - bought for the future, Ditto
So how exactly has it been proven that buying in that price range is a waste of money.
Lets instead look at the following
LAMELA - 25 MIL WASTE OF MONEY - What has this got to do with our signing needs?
SOLDADO - 25 MIL WASTE OF MONEY - Ditto
OSvaldo - 20 mil waste of money -Ditto
ERIKSEN - 12 MIL TOP BUY - Ditto
Fellaini - 28 mil waste of money - Ditto
CARROLL - 35 MIL waste of money - Ditto
The list goes on and on...

I’ve corrected it above there Ninja, and that’s a poor effort, I usually respect your views Ninja, but you’ve got to do better than that.

A cheeky bid for Lamella wouldn't be a bad idea. I think BR could get the best out of him.

Liverpool have joined Tottenham in the race to sign Swansea striker Wilfried Bony.
Spurs have had an £18million bid for the Ivory Coast star rejected by the Swans and the Reds are now ready to beat their Premier League rivals to his signature.
talkSPORT understands Bony’s representatives are on Merseyside to hold talks with Liverpool, although a fee with Swansea has yet to be agreed.
The Welsh club are looking for at least £20million for Bony, who joined from Vitesse Arnhem last summer for £12m.
That fee is unlikely to deter Liverpool, who are set to sell Luis Suarez to Barcelona for around £75million.
The Reds have already signed England forward Rickie Lambert and are close to a deal for Belgian striker Divock Origi, but the latter is likely to be loaned backed to Lille and Brendan Rodgers wants another hitman.
Bony enjoyed a successful debut season in England, scoring 25 goals in all competitions last year, and has stated his desire to play Champions League football next season.
Liverpool's move for the forward will be a big blow to Spurs, who were hoping to push through a £26m double deal for Bony and his Swans team-mate Ben Davies, also reported to be a Reds target. (TalkSports)
Are you f**king serious Bony to replace Luis Suarez....Bony’s representatives are on Merseyside to hold talks with Liverpool, OMG....Say hello to Europa league next year
