From that rationale, why are Liverpool even bothering with Carra and Gerrard?
Both are in a far worse postion than Villa right now. even two solid seasons from Villa is better than what those two are offering to the club right now.

They're both worthless, and command large salaries.

They didn't cost us anything, Villa will cost a lot. Once you have them it's a completely different situation.

Fenway are not about buying for the future, although that fits perfectly with Liverpool's latent attitudes if they were, but instead have a policy of buying young players with a view that they'll recoup the transfer fee paid at a later date, if not make more money, rather than spend large amounts on transfers for established players who then have no resale value.

That's the same thing.
