2. Think of the money
A player of Suarez’s quality would easily command a fee somewhere in the region of £50 million – which is the price that the club have recently stated they would consider selling him for. Real Madrid are reportedly keen to pay this should their ambitious gambit for Spurs star Gareth Bale fails to come to fruition.
Despite the recent signings this summer, the club still needs some heavy investment and rotation, especially in defence. Kolo Toure may provide a short term answer, but at 32-years-old he is hardly a spring chicken who will be there to lead the club in five years time and Jamie Carragher’s retirement at the end of last season means that they are down to just the one talismanic player in the shape of Gerrard.
The majority of that £50 million could, and would, be well spent to improve areas of the squad that need it most as they’ve also looked a little light from wide areas at times too.
Brendan Rodgers is finally starting to show his intent in the transfer market now and the extra funds will go a long way to helping him realise his ambition with the club.
