Sorry but you only have to look at the record of each player - Borini got a grand total of 7 goals for a player playing every game - Remy double that despite not playing every game.

Borini scored the odd goal on telly against a big team - that's it

You won't change my opinion phil, i'd rather keep Borini and go out and buy a top striker than buy Remy or Bony.

Which top striker ?

We can't replace Suarez like for like - there isn't many available 30 goal a season strikers hanging around

We need quality players to fit into the team system and work ethic that is being built by Rodgers - we need to build on what we achieved last season - we can't do what Spurs did and spend £100mil on players that don't fit in just because of their name.

Last season has raised expectations - we shocked everyone but realistically we are behind both Chelsea and City in terms of squad quality - we can't catch up that quality using money - we don't have it - that's why Brenden is building the squad - hopefully expectations haven't gone too far - sustaining CL football is key.

Buying the likes of Origi is what we need to do - get the quality players before they become too expensive.

I agree that last season was extraordinary in terms of improvement ,so whilst we are where we are why not aim a little bit higher and raise the bar with the quality of players and lets keep making progress.

We've spent £40m and received £75m Suarez money upto now. We must have cash to improve that side with top quality players for now.

I'm not saying go mad spending money and put debt onto the club.

The problem is getting those quality players - lets be honest despite last season I don't think we are in the place to attract the very best

We have lost a big reason why we achieved so much

But there are still lots of quality players out there that can be got - but maybe they aren't a big name - Markovic is a perfect example.

We can make progress by improving the overall depth and quality of the squad.

Really??

Bony or Remy are no better than Borini so why spend money on a striker if you're not going to improve what we've already got?

He's done it once with Aspas and that failed.

25-30 Mill does not guarantee anything- Torres, Carroll, Soldado.......

Seeing a foreign stiker play impressively in his first or second season and putting him in a better team may well do, even if they are only 8 or 19 mill.

I knew you'd ask this!!

Somebody like Dzeko would easily score 20-30 goals in that Liverpool side.

Or break the bank for a Benzema/Higuain type.

We create more than enough chances in games, and those 3 that I've just named are the type we should be aiming for now.

Knowing us we'll end up with Carlton Cole on loan!

No disrespect but Liverpool couldn't get Benzema or Higuain.
They really do need a Big signing & then maybe others will follow.

Keep Borini and go and buy a 20-30 goal striker for £25m-£30m

I'd take Soldado every day of the week, in a better side he'd score goals.

Would a move for Dzeko not be a bad idea. Whether City would be prepared to sell and sell to Liverpool is dubious but I think he'd be a great signing.

Dzeko is currently one of the main strikers for the champions

Again it's just name players. Neither Higuain or Benzema have ever scored over 30 goals a season despite the chances they get.

We should be aiming for players to fit - Benzema would be the only one as he is more adaptable

My point is if we aspire to win the league and or CL then those are the type of players you need to attract.

Who'd have thought Robhino,Aguero,Yaya etc would go to City? I know there owners have unlimited funds but if we break the bank for just one of those types every year or so and you win trophies they pay for themselves.

Those are the TYPE of players we should be aiming for imo.

I think he's the main reason finished where they did. He missed countless chances. At Liverpool he'd just miss more IMO.

They broke the bank and more to get those - we aren't City

You don't always need "names". We won't be chasing those type of players unless the price is reasonable as are the wages.

I don't think the goings on at Tottingham actually helped him or any of the new signings with possibly the exception of Paulinho.
