And the risk isn't what it was then either because we're building on top of quality, instead of muck. Lallana, while maybe overpriced, feels like he'll be good at this level. It's as safe a signing as you're going to get and I feel that the extra cash is worth it for the relatively guaranteed quality. He mightn't hit the heights of some precocious tiny latin fella but he feels like he's going to be solid. Markovich (assuming things go to plan and he signs in the next couple of days) looks a serious prospect. Pace, dribbling, work rate. Rodgers can work wonders with that mix, as we've already seen. Can is a safe bet for the money we're paying. He already looks like he'll be more useful than Lucas and there looks like there's a lot of potential there. Lambert is a classy footballer and again, it's a cheap short term option. Think of him as an upgrade on Aspas. Origi is something to sit on the back burner until next season. So that's 70m quid's worth and that's with 3 more signings we're looking at - another 15-20m CB, a 10-15m LB and a 25m+ attacker. If we pull through on those last 3 signigns (and they're actually worth the sort of money we've looked like spending on them) that's as exciting a transfer window as we've had in my lifetime.

John__Percy #lfc are considering a bid for Swansea left-back Ben Davies after making an inquiry this week. #thfc also remain interested

He may not have been the most technically gifted, but he worked hard making important tackles in defence and scoring important goals at the other end. He came to liverpool as a goal scoring striker and never complained about being pushed out onto the wing, he just got on with it. I really don't understand how any liverpool fan can have any bad feeling towards the guy. I'm proud to have seen him in a liverpool shirt and wish him well in his career.
