@ Mikec, you need to dial down the spurs poaching Liverpool targets rhetoric, we were linked to Willian last season when he went to anzhi from shaktar.. Also just to let it be known I thought you were only in for Willian because you were gazumped by borussia Dortmund for mkhitarian. So are Dortmund also following your scouts round trying to buy players Liverpool have their eye on. Or is it a case of everyone is scouting the same talent, at the same time..
I'm more worried, even though we didnt put in a bid, of missing out on eriksen who seems to have more upside, room for improvement, and would be cheaper.
In relation to Dempsey and siggurdson, they took a decision to join spurs rather than the rebuilding project at Liverpool. Shows where we are relatively in our abilities to attract top talent.
Was discussing this with Multigrooves a while back and he was of the opinion that Levy needed to go all in to try and secure a champions league spot, it was spend big money or lose the opportunity and as much as I don't want us to mortgage our future for a top four spot right now, if it can't be sustained. As a fan we all know the excitement of your club spending money on talent and thinking as we all do at the seasons start "this could be our year".
And I'd rather AVB and Baldini were buying the players as opposed to 'Arry. Just look at the quality of player he targeted for Chelsea in his rebuilding stint there. Most of them have turned out all right..
