Liverpool are stupid with money and you can guarantee that notwithstanding the occasional exception, most funds will be wasted. For that reason I'd rather any top target, irrespective of price, be signed. Granted it means less to spend on what's left, but given the clubs success in the market, I'd rather one definite and one potential signing over two average signings, as is usually the case

You're arguing that just because he did one thing really well, he didn't do another thing at all. He did both. One of his best attributes for us was stepping between the lines and intercepting passes. When I think of Sakho, what I actually think of is him surging in front of an attacker who's about to receive the ball, getting to it before them, and playing a laser straight pass into an attacking midfielder.

Boom_Bap wrote: » How many times do you see Matip making last ditch sliding tackles? Now think about how many times Sahko does it. The defenders who are not making them are the ones that are in the right position or are capable of moving with the pace of the opposition attackers. The ones who are doing those tackles are the ones that are getting caught out positionally.
