The College Dropout Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Madrid are taking years off Alonso's career the way he has to do so much donkey work. Benzema does well but they need another option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Not sure about Lovren for 16M pounds (20 Euros) , but that's surely the end of either Skrtel/Agger. Not exactly sure which one will go, but there is simply too many centre backs on the books now. Wouldn't be surprised if someone like Kolo Toure ended up at Newcastle/Sunderland as utility squad player for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside, don't see the logic in paying out THAT much for a CB when Liverpool already have Skrtel, Agger and Sakho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Liverpool are gonna get squeezed now that clubs are aware they got so much for Suárez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Liverpool have bought Remy, Llana, Markovic, Emre Can and Lambert and that still leaves a bit leftover from the Suarez money. That's sickening. They can really afford to splurge this summer, as they've hardly used funds outside of what Suarez is bringing in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Only one of them can play in place of Suarez and none are even close to him. It's Bale and Spurs all over again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think Coutinho may be asked to step up this season. Not saying he's anywhere near the level Suarez is obviously, but I think he's good enough to make a decent fist of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Spurs bought a ton of players from outside the league who needed some time, and they also needed a manager that was stable in the head. Not the paranoid Portuguese, or the ranting wideboy. I wouldn't write those players off yet! Liverpool are in a much better place than Spurs, as their manager has been there for a few seasons now, and after last season, is in a very stable, strong position. They've also been smart in getting some players who have performed in the prem already in Remy and Llana. Don't think it will be anything like Spurs tbh.

Village Idiot Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 You can grow as a club while not completely replacing a single outstanding individual. They are not going to find anybody as influential as Suárez for that position, so why not just get somebody capable in there, and look to build strength elsewhere?

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Benzema is out of his depth at Madrid. I wouldn't quite say that. He's the best in the world at what he does, his role is just a limited one that will often be rendered pretty obsolete at the absolute top level.

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Benzema's one of the most under-rated players going imo. I think he's absolutely class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Benzema complements the likes of Bale and Ronaldo very well, imho. I agree he's underrated, even the Real Madrid fans I know don't seem to like him much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can really afford to splurge this summer, as they've hardly used funds outside of what Suarez is bringing in. That's the downside of buying players based on contract situations. Liverpool spent a lot of money on the likes of Suarez and Torres but the pay off is massive at that level if you sell them at the right time. Them and Spurs are operating at a different level to us.

The main difference is that they are doing it while in the Champions League, which gives them more pulling power, plus they have the huge sponsorship deals generating more cash. They can attract better players and pay them more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
