Football

I'd put it the other way, are you sure we really want them?

No Premier League experience
Massively hyped (the next Zidane etc) = Massive price
Big fish in a small pond (at least in Hazard's case).

I'd rather Liverpool buy solid Premier League performers, like Henderson, Adam, Downing etc...

Mata wont go to liverpool, its touch and go he will go to Arsenal. the big pull being his potential to be the club star and move off for more cash. he is a quality player. those three points are invalid - it's all down to mentality. Mata has it, he is one of those special players.

Adams has the mettle to fight hard (proven many time) and now the incentive of the big move and big club. i'd say he will succeed if given a roll where he can play his game. a stand in for Stevie me and he will just collect his salary Jo COle style
