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

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.

It's pretty much exactly what you are saying, he is great on the front foot, but on the back foot is where he is weaker. I'm not by any means saying that Matip doesn't make those type of challenges, but they are far less frequent than Sakho as Matip has better positional sense on the back foot when the ball is played through or over. If you think back to Skrtyl, that chap was constantly making those challenges through his career with us, way more than Sakho. I also see that Sakho is very effective at them as well, but if we are playing a higher line as Klopp wants us to, he will be doing it far to regularly which adds another dimension of risk to the back line.
