Rodgers will made it abundantly clear we have only about 15 players of any real quality. Selling Suarez and bringing in 3 top players in his place would be improving the squad, while we wont be able to get a single talent better than him it would still be progress. Rogers will want quality over quantity in the event Suarez is sold, the board will be all too aware of the trap Spurs fell into last season and going out buying a new team. At the end of the day the only decent player they bought was Eriksen out of £90m.

We have heard though that Moreno deal is dead, and he is a good young LB that Liverpool are seeking desperately. Added to that the much heralded Lallana deal has dragged on and died IMO. Claims that Lovren were to join and bolster a rather shaky defence seems to have stalled Shaqiri is a dead duck of a deal as well and the only one that seems alive is Sanchez and that is as a replacement for Suarez. If Suarez goes then Liverpool need to replace him obviously but also bolster the squad in other areas to compensate for losing him. WRT Spurs purchases, I maintain that those players will show some worth this season also provided they bring in a decent striker
